Wallpaper - Parrot Paradise II

Our Parrot Paradise II wallpaper, designed by Katie Pertiet, layers vivid parrot illustrations across a finely detailed antique world map background. We love the graphic rhythm created by the perching birds, rendered in bold tones of cobalt, turquoise, warm yellow, scarlet, and rich green against the soft sepia and parchment tones of the cartography beneath. The interplay between the delicate historical map lines and the richly colored plumage gives this repeating design a distinctive, collected character that adds narrative depth to an interior. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it simple to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we would give our design a wide, unbroken wall behind a sofa or low sideboard where the rhythmic pattern of the birds and the cartographic details can be seen at eye level. The repeating layout also brings a lively, curated feel to a holiday home living area, creating a focal point without overwhelming the space. Because the background remains light and neutral, the wallpaper works just as comfortably wrapping around an entire sitting room as it does on a single feature wall, especially in spaces with balanced natural daylight that lets the plumage colors stand out clearly against the parchment tones.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing the expressive colors of the birds with grounded, timeless interior pieces. Clean-lined mid-century or colonial-inspired furniture creates a natural dialogue with the historical map motif. Rich dark wood tones, such as walnut or stained teak, echo the vintage illustration style and bring weight to the room, while lighter rattan or woven details can play up the tropical mood in a casual living space. We recommend keeping nearby upholstered furniture in solid, neutral fabrics so the wall pattern remains the focal feature of the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around a rich palette of cobalt blue, bright teal, sunny yellow, crimson red, and olive green, all anchored by the warm cream and faded ink tones of the cartographic backdrop. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling from the softer background with warm off-white, light linen, or biscuit tones. If you want a more dramatic setting, pairing the wallpaper with trim or built-in cabinetry painted in deep forest green, navy, or warm tobacco brown picks up on the bird illustrations and creates a richly enveloped atmosphere.
