Wallpaper - Moon Moth VI

Created by Yvette St. Amant, our Moon Moth VI wallpaper brings together a richly detailed nocturnal motif and a warm, balanced palette. At the centre of the composition rests a brown-winged moth with intricate circular markings and delicate line work across its wings. Positioned directly above, a glowing apricot-toned moon is layered with subtle grey leaf silhouettes, framed by golden-yellow foliage, small blossoms, and small star-like shapes against a solid black ground. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The central symmetry and deep black background give this design a strong visual presence, making it well suited as a focal point in a bedroom, living room, or study. In a bedroom, we like placing it behind a low headboard where the moth and celestial moon sit clearly above the bed without being obscured. In a living room or home office, the design works particularly well on an open, uninterrupted wall where the balance between the bold central illustration and the dark negative space can be fully appreciated.

The contrast between the warm ochre-gold tones and the deep black creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere in spaces that receive softer evening lighting or lower natural light levels.

Styling it

Because the motif has a clear, graphic silhouette with fine organic details, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and letting the wall mural set the tone. Low-profile furniture in warm, mid-toned woods complements the earthy brown and apricot shades in the artwork without competing for attention.

To echo the illustrated character of the design, consider introducing simple ceramics or textured woven throws in muted neutral tones. Keeping the immediate wall area free of cluttered shelving or tall bookcases allows the symmetrical elements and the glowing moon to remain the defining feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself features rich chocolate brown, apricot, warm golden yellow, muted grey-brown, and a deep, solid black ground.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white or soft putty creates a clean, intentional contrast that lets the black background stand out crisp and sharp. Alternatively, painting nearby walls or woodwork in a deep charcoal, soft black, or muted ochre extends the atmospheric, moody feel throughout the entire space. For textiles and decorative details, dusty peach, warm terracotta, and neutral beige naturally pick up the tones in the wings and foliage.
