Wallpaper - Dragonfly on The Wall

Dragonfly on The Wall by Kate Jarvik Birch brings an expressive natural scene into the room with a large, intricately detailed dragonfly framed by bold orange flowers with delicate white veining. Set against a rich forest green backdrop with lush foliage, the oil-painted character gives the composition warmth, rhythm, and striking color contrast. It is a confident design that creates an immediate focal point on a main wall or adds depth to a smaller interior. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on an accent wall where the central dragonfly and surrounding botanicals have enough space to unfold their full visual impact. In a living room, it anchors the seating area naturally when placed behind a sofa, while in a dining room, the rich green tones and warm orange floral motifs create an engaging backdrop for evening gatherings. The strong contrast between the dark foliage and bright petals also makes our mural wallpapers an inspiring choice for a home office, study, or creative studio. For smaller transitional spaces such as an entryway, powder room, or dressing room, using it across a single wall creates an inviting and memorable arrival without overwhelming the proportions of the space.

Styling it

Because the botanical illustration carries rich movement and strong tonal contrast, we recommend pairing it with furniture and accents that either echo its earthy palette or provide a calm, solid counterpoint.

• Ground the rich forest green with warm natural wood furniture, such as mid-century walnut or darker stained timber, which complements the painted depth of the flora.
• Introduce textiles in terracotta, rust, or muted ochre to softly pick up the orange petals without competing with the main illustration.
• Keep surrounding architectural elements, doors, and trim in deep moss green or soft off-white to let the wallpaper remain the undisputed centerpiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is built around a palette of deep forest green, dark leaf tones, and vivid orange, balanced by white veining and dark navy and black details in the dragonfly wings. When choosing paint for adjoining walls or woodwork, a deep olive or muted forest green creates a seamless, wrapped aesthetic. If you prefer a lighter, higher-contrast look, soft warm whites or pale bone shades keep the space bright while highlighting the crisp detail of the botanical artwork. Deep terracotta, burnt orange, and rich charcoal also work beautifully as accent colors on surrounding upholstery or painted furniture.
