Wallpaper - Golden Beetle

Our Golden Beetle wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly insect motif right to the centre of the wall. Designed by Kristy Rice, the composition centres on an illustrated beetle rendered in fluid watercolour tones of magenta pink, rich purple, clear blue, and warm orange, with fine dark lines detailing its legs and antennae. Speckles of gold-coloured splatter scatter across the crisp white ground, lending the artwork an energetic, abstract quality. Printed to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our wall murals make it straightforward to introduce a bold artistic focal point into your interior.

In the room

Because the design features a single large-scale focal motif surrounded by generous white negative space, we see this working especially well on an accent wall where the central beetle has room to be appreciated in its entirety. In a home study, creative workspace, or hobby room, positioning our mural wallpaper behind a desk or workstation creates an inspiring backdrop without overwhelming the entire perimeter. For living rooms or bedrooms, placing the design on a feature wall, such as behind a low-backed sofa or a minimalist headboard, keeps the colourful detail fully in view. In open-plan areas, giving this design a dedicated, relatively uninterrupted wall helps define a distinct zone with confidence and personality.

Styling it

With such vibrant saturation and graphic presence, we like balancing our wallpaper with thoughtful, uncluttered furnishings that let the artwork lead. In contemporary or eclectic maximalist settings, pairing the wall with sleek silhouettes and minimalist painted furniture prevents visual clutter from competing with the detailed linework. Bringing in simple brushed brass or warm metallic accents on lighting or decorative hardware naturally echoes the gold splatter detail in the print, creating a cohesive dialogue across the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built upon a lively palette of magenta, violet, cobalt blue, and punchy orange, set against a clean white backdrop. To maintain a fresh and airy feel, we recommend keeping adjacent walls and architectural woodwork in crisp, bright whites that match the background tone. If you prefer to draw out the warmer tones of the motif, introducing soft coral or terracotta notes through upholstery, cushions, or artwork on opposite walls creates an engaging colour flow. Alternatively, deep navy or inky blue elements on rugs or cabinetry provide a grounding contrast to the bright pink and orange elements.
