Wallpaper - Deaths Head Moth, Dark Teal

Our Deaths Head Moth, Dark Teal wallpaper features a stylized moth spreading its wings across a deep teal backdrop, framed by symmetrical floral sprays and delicate green foliage. Designed by Carrie Cantwell, the composition balances intricate insect illustration with Art Nouveau flair, weaving burnt orange, ochre, soft pink, and earthy tones into a captivating decorative repeat. The skull detail on the moth's body introduces an intriguing, slightly mysterious edge that is softened by the surrounding botanical forms. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

The strong central symmetry and rich dark backdrop make this wallpaper an expressive choice for creative residential spaces. In a home art studio, craft room, or hobby room, the illustrative detail provides an inspiring backdrop that rewards closer viewing without feeling chaotic. We also see this working exceptionally well across an accent wall in a teenage room or guest bedroom, where the blend of whimsical florals and darker entomological motifs creates a distinctive identity. Because the repeat has a deliberate rhythmic balance, it holds its own on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a desk, easel, or bed.

Styling it

To complement the Art Nouveau influences and earthy palette of our design, we recommend leaning into warm, characterful interior elements.

• Warm wood tones, such as antique pine, mid-toned oak, or vintage teak, echo the burnt orange and ochre details while grounding the deeper teal background.
• Velvet or woven upholstery in muted rust or dusky rose pulls out the delicate floral accents and adds softness against the darker wall.
• Antique brass or aged bronze light fixtures and hardware pick up on the period-inspired line work and bring a gentle warmth to the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on a deep, saturated teal offset by warm burnt orange, ochre, dusty pink, and leafy green. When decorating around this design, adjacent walls painted in a soft, warm stone or pale linen white prevent the room from feeling overly enclosed while letting the mural wallpapers remain the clear focal point. For a richer, more enveloping aesthetic, colour-matching surrounding woodwork or built-in shelving to the background dark teal creates a seamless, tailored atmosphere.
