Wallpaper - Monkey Jump, Laurel

Our Monkey Jump, Laurel wallpaper features five brown monkeys swinging and climbing across twisting green vines and curling foliage, set against a soft grey background. Designed by Irina Chikati, the motif balances expressive movement with an ink drawing visual style that gives the foliage and animals an elegant, illustrative character. The palette brings together earthy olive and army green shades with warm brown tones, creating a lively yet grounded scene. Each monkey strikes a distinct pose across the composition, giving the pattern plenty of visual interest without feeling chaotic. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, it adds a playful, nature-inspired element to both calm and energetic interior spaces.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where the whimsical narrative can spark curiosity and set a playful tone. Because the monkeys and twisting vines spread across the full composition, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the complete visual story to unfold. It also sits comfortably in a shared family living room or hallway staircase, where the subdued grey backdrop and grounded green tones feel sophisticated rather than purely juvenile. For a downstairs cloakroom or powder room, wallpapering all surrounding walls creates a characterful, immersive garden feel.

Styling it

The earthy tones in the foliage and monkey figures pair effortlessly with warm, natural timber finishes such as oak or ash. Choosing low-profile wooden storage units, open book ledges, and woven storage baskets helps keep the surrounding space functional while letting the illustrated motif take centre stage.

To complement the hand-drawn ink quality of the pattern, we would introduce simple woven wool or unbleached cotton textiles rather than competing patterned prints. Keeping adjacent upholstery in solid, muted shades allows the lively movement across the wall to remain the focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a quiet foundation of soft grey, deep army green, muted laurel tones, and warm earthy browns.

When decorating adjacent walls, a gentle stone grey or off-white paint reflects the background of the mural wallpapers and keeps the room airy. Alternatively, drawing out the deeper army green for surrounding woodwork, skirting boards, or internal doors creates a cohesive, grounded look that frames the mural beautifully.
