Wallpaper - Raja Elephant I

Our Raja Elephant I wallpaper, designed by Sue Schlabach, centers on a bold elephant silhouette rendered in deep cobalt and indigo blue against a weathered, parchment-toned backdrop. Detailed mandala and floral patterning fills the body of the elephant, creating a collage-like interplay between decorative linework and distressed painterly texture. Warm ochre and earthy gold framing around the outer edges balances the strong blue center. Produced custom to your wall measurements, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface structure in the paper that complements the visual depth of the artwork.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper is anchored by a single large-scale graphic silhouette, it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the elephant's raised trunk and full stride have space to register. In a living room, placing this design behind a low-backed sofa allows the central medallion and patterned body to remain visible without being cut off by tall furniture. We also see this working beautifully in a dedicated meditation room or a home art studio, where the balanced composition and calm, grounded presence of the motif create a tranquil focal point. The contrast between the saturated blue and the warm, creamy background means the design holds its visual clarity in both bright natural daylight and softer evening room lighting.

Styling it

When styling around this wall mural, we suggest letting the bold graphic quality of the elephant take center stage while keeping surrounding elements tactile and grounded.

• Pair with warm, natural wood furniture in mid-toned oak, teak, or mango wood to echo the golden ochre distressing along the mural borders.
• Bring in textiles made from natural linen, jute, or slub cotton in unbleached cream and sand to harmonise with the textured background.
• Select matte brass or muted bronze decorative accents, such as lighting fixtures or subtle frames, to pick up the warm metallic undertones without competing with the cobalt blue silhouette.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by rich cobalt blue, deep indigo, and weathered ivory, framed by earthy ochre and muted gold. When selecting surrounding paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, off-whites with warm undertones provide a clean and cohesive transition that mirrors the background of the mural. For a more grounded, enveloping atmosphere, deep navy or slate blue paint on neighboring walls extends the intensity of the elephant silhouette throughout the space. Warm neutrals like sand, biscuit, and soft mustard also pair naturally with the golden border tones.
