Wallpaper - Monkeys With Birds, W&B

Our Monkeys With Birds, W&B wallpaper brings a richly illustrated tropical scene to life in classic monochrome charcoal and sepia tones. Created by Karina Eibatova, the artwork features monkeys nestled among lush banana plants, fan palms, and monstera foliage, alongside an array of exotic wildlife including a toucan, a standing flamingo, hummingbirds, and a snail resting on a leaf. The high contrast between the deep gray pencil work and the clean white background creates generous depth while maintaining an airy, open feel. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the illustration spreads across a panorama with both tall palm canopies and intricate foreground details, we like to see this design given a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full narrative can unfold. In a playroom or creative family space, the playful animal encounters reward closer looking without overwhelming the room. The clear white background keeps the visual weight balanced, making it just as striking across a feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza in a living area as it is in a dedicated study.

Styling it

The vintage botanical engraving style of this design pairs naturally with clean lines and warm, tactile materials that balance the detailed linework.

• Ground the room with warm wood furniture, such as natural ash, light oak, or teak, which softens the monochrome contrast.
• Incorporate woven textures like jute rugs, rattan lighting, or linen curtains to echo the natural jungle theme without adding competing patterns.
• Keep upholstered pieces in solid, textured neutrals like oatmeal, slate, or charcoal so the wall remains the primary visual focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself relies on a sophisticated monochrome palette of charcoal gray, graphite, and soft sepia on an off-white ground. To complement these tones, we suggest styling with warm neutrals such as creamy whites, sand, and soft taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce accent colors through soft furnishings, earthy tones like terracotta, ochre, muted olive, or burnt umber bring warmth while harmonizing effortlessly with the botanical illustration.
