Wallpaper - Golden Beetle

Our Golden Beetle wallpaper brings an expressive, large-scale insect motif into the room with watercolor-like fluidity and energetic color. Designed by Kristy Rice, this wall mural features a central beetle rendered in vivid washes of magenta pink, purple, blue, and orange, accented with gold-toned paint splatters and delicate dark linework along the legs and antennae. Set against an open white background, the vivid pigment gives the design a striking graphic clarity. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct focal point that instantly enlivens interior walls.

In the room

Because the motif is composed as a bold, single subject with generous white space around it, we find it works particularly well as a feature wall. In a home office, study, or creative studio, placing the design on the primary wall behind a desk or open work table allows the complete silhouette of the beetle to be seen without visual interruption. In larger rooms, the contrast between the saturated colors and the pale ground gives the mural wallpaper strong presence from across the room, while the fine paint splatters and line details reward closer viewing.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolor motif stand out, we like pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines and relatively quiet silhouettes. A simple desk or low shelving unit in white, matte black, or light natural wood grounds the space without competing with the dynamic insect illustration.

For surrounding accents, taking cues from the contemporary and eclectic character of the artwork works well. A few carefully chosen decorative pieces in brushed brass or dark metal can pick up on the gold splatters and dark antennae lines in the print, while keeping textiles and larger surfaces neutral helps maintain visual balance across the entire room.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines a rich core of magenta, violet, vibrant blue, and warm orange against a crisp white backdrop. When selecting surrounding wall paint and furnishings, we recommend working with either the background or the accents in the illustration. A clean, neutral off-white or soft pale grey on adjoining walls keeps the focus firmly on the artwork. If you prefer more color in the room, pulling a muted dusty rose, soft terracotta, or deep ink blue from the beetle's wings creates a cohesive and immersive palette without overwhelming the space.
