Wallpaper - Crimson Crawfish Extravaganza

Our Crimson Crawfish Extravaganza wallpaper presents a striking symmetrical composition featuring two mirrored marine crustaceans facing inward against a clean white backdrop. Derived from natural history illustration work by Charles Dessalines D' Orbigny, the artwork highlights deep navy blue bodies speckled with yellow spots, accented by bold red antennae and richly detailed brown claws. This balanced graphic structure creates a distinctive focal point on the wall while retaining the charm of classic scientific illustration. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dedicated playroom or family space where its playful symmetry and detailed illustration can bring character to the walls. Because the mirrored crustaceans create a clear central visual weight, the design sits naturally on a feature wall or a relatively uninterrupted surface where the full composition remains visible. The crisp white background keeps the room feeling open and bright, allowing the deep navy, red, and yellow details to stand out clearly without darkening the overall space.

Styling it

The classic illustrative style and distinct colour palette make this design rewarding to style. We suggest pairing it with clean, simple furniture in warm wood tones or painted finishes that complement the navy and red without competing with the motif. Keeping surrounding decorative pieces relatively uncluttered lets the graphic quality of the twin crustaceans take centre stage, while simple storage and open shelving maintain an organized, welcoming feel across the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features deep navy blue, warm brown, bright yellow, and vivid red set against a clean white ground. For adjacent walls or woodwork, we like using a soft, neutral off-white that mirrors the background, or picking up the deep navy tone on skirting boards and doors for a more grounded, defined look. Subtle accents in warm ochre or muted red can also tie nicely into the antennae and speckled details of the artwork.
