Wallpaper - Asian Tigers, Mocha

Our Asian Tigers, Mocha wallpaper features a dramatic confrontation between two tigers, set against vertical bamboo stalks and a bold red sun. Designed by Irina Chikati, the artwork combines vivid orange and black coats with an earthy backdrop of mocha, caramel, and soft beige tones. The painterly visual texture and ink-inspired drawing style give the mural wallpaper an expressive, artistic character with distinct Asian-inspired elements. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our wallpaper creates a powerful focal point designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the motif centers on an intense composition with strong visual narrative, we see this working best on an open, uninterrupted accent wall where both tigers and the rising sun have room to be seen in full. In a living room, placing the design on the primary wall behind a low-profile sofa lets the height of the bamboo and the dynamic stances of the animals anchor the space without being broken up by tall furniture. In a creative home studio, the bold character and rich earthy tones bring energy and visual interest to a working area. The vertical flow of the bamboo also makes the wallpaper well suited to rooms with higher ceilings, where the vertical lines can draw the eye upward naturally.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic presence of the tigers, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Contemporary seating with simple silhouettes allows the intricate ink-style line work of the mural to remain the focal point. Darker stained woods or warm natural timber work harmoniously with the earthy mocha background, while low-profile credenzas or minimalist shelving prevent the composition from feeling crowded. Introducing matte black metal details or ceramic decorative accents can echo the crisp black linework in the tigers' stripes and bamboo leaves.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich foundation of mocha brown, warm caramel, and soft beige, punctuated by bright tiger orange, deep black, and a vivid red sun. To create a cohesive room palette, pair the mural with surrounding walls painted in warm parchment, muted taupe, or soft warm sand. For furniture and textiles, deep charcoal, espresso brown, or burnt umber pick up the darker tones of the illustration, while small accents of terracotta or muted rust can subtly reflect the vibrant warm highlights of the artwork.
