Wallpaper - Royal Birds on Blue

Designed by Farida Zaman, our Royal Birds on Blue wallpaper brings together crowned songbirds, fluttering butterflies, and delicate floral sprigs across a deep teal-blue ground. We especially like the painted-looking character of the illustration, where warm shades of marigold, blush pink, coral, and soft turquoise stand out vividly against the rich backdrop. The open, cheerful repeat gives each characterful bird room to perch, creating a playful yet balanced visual rhythm across the wall. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms where its whimsical storytelling can take centre stage. The generous teal background provides enough visual weight to anchor a space, while the bright pops of yellow, pink, and green keep the atmosphere energetic and warm. In a toddler's room or nursery, we would place this mural wallpaper behind a cot or low bed to establish a dedicated focal area that children can interact with at eye level. Because the motif is evenly scattered and open rather than densely packed, it also works remarkably well across multiple walls in a dedicated play space without feeling overwhelming.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into its playful charm while letting the wallpaper carry most of the decorative pattern in the room.

• Pair with light or warm painted furniture, such as soft cream, muted pastel pink, or natural blonde timber, to keep the overall scheme feeling bright and grounded.
• Balance the detailed illustration by choosing plain, textured fabrics for bedding, curtains, and floor coverings rather than competing multi-coloured prints.
• Echo the smaller floral details through subtle accents like a mustard yellow cushion, a pale turquoise lamp base, or soft pink storage baskets.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on a deep teal-blue base layered with cheerful accents of marigold yellow, soft blush, raspberry pink, coral, warm cream, and leafy green. For surrounding painted walls, we recommend pairing the design with a muted off-white or a gentle warm cream to maintain an airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping interior, you can pull the deep teal from the background onto adjacent walls or painted woodwork. Soft dusty pink and muted sage green also work exceptionally well on curtains, bedlinen, or painted furniture, picking up on the smaller botanical elements without clashing with the central figures.
