Wallpaper - Exotic Wildlife V-I

Created by Andrea Haase, our Exotic Wildlife V-I wallpaper brings together an intricate eighteenth-century nautical chart of North America and the West Indies with lush botanical illustrations. Rich tropical foliage rises from the lower half of the design, where broad palm leaves, detailed fern fronds and deep green leaves layer alongside delicate pink blooms. The fine navigational rhumb lines and vintage cartography form a pale, neutral backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the earthy green tones in the foreground. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper that gives our mural wallpapers a refined, tactile look on the wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of narrative and visual depth, such as a living room, a study or a home library. Because the botanical elements are concentrated across the lower and mid sections while the upper area opens into delicate historical cartography, the design maintains an open feel even on larger walls.

In a spacious living room, we would place this design across an uninterrupted feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza so the lush plant forms remain clearly visible. In a study or home library, the vintage map details naturally complement bookshelves and desk arrangements, bringing a calm, heritage-inspired atmosphere to the space.

Styling it

The combination of historic cartography and lush botanical illustration makes this design wonderfully versatile across traditional, heritage and eclectic interior styles.

To balance the detailed composition, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively calm and let the wallpaper anchor the space. Darker wood tones such as walnut or antique mahogany echo the vintage map aesthetic, while lighter upholstered pieces in natural woven fabrics keep the room feeling fresh. Brass lighting fixtures and understated decorative objects can pick up on the maritime character of the navigation lines without competing with the vibrant botanical illustrations.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich fern greens, deep forest tones and earthy moss shades, lifted by soft blush and vibrant pink floral accents. The background provides a warm antique white base interlaced with fine sepia and black linework.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams and muted stone tones keep the focus entirely on the design. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep moss green or subtle sage from the leaves onto architectural trim or panelling creates an elegant, cohesive room scheme.
