Wallpaper - Exotic Wildlife V

Our Exotic Wildlife V wallpaper by Andrea Haase brings together antique cartography and rich botanical illustration. In the background, an 18th-century nautical chart of North America and the West Indies unfolds with intricate navigational lines and compass roses. Layered in the foreground are lush tropical plants, broad fern-green leaves, and vibrant warm orange and red florals that add striking depth against the aged parchment tones. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a story of historic discovery directly to your interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a study, home library, or living room. The visual weight sits primarily across the lower half and center of the composition, where the dense botanicals rise against the open linework of the map above. This structure gives the room an anchored feeling while keeping the upper portion of the wall airy and expansive. In a living room or study, placing a sofa or lower desk in front of the design allows the leafy stems and map details to frame the furniture naturally without losing the key cartographic elements above.

Styling it

Because the motif carries both fine historic linework and bold tropical foliage, we suggest balancing it with understated, classic furnishings.

• Warm wood furniture, such as medium-toned walnut, antique mahogany, or aged oak, complements the earthy tones of the map background and grounds the design.
• Upholstery in muted, solid fabrics like unbleached linen, olive wool, or soft leather prevents pattern competition and lets the botanical details stand out.
• Understated brass or blackened metal accents in floor lamps or picture frames echo the fine lines of the vintage cartography.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by rich fern green, deep foliage tones, warm earthy beige, and pops of vivid orange and brick red. When choosing surrounding wall colors or painted trim, warm off-white, antique cream, or soft parchment tones create a smooth continuation of the map background. If you prefer a richer and more enveloping palette, pulling out the deep fern green or a muted olive for adjacent walls or woodwork highlights the foreground leaves and adds architectural depth to the space.
