Wallpaper - Deaths Head Moth

Our Deaths Head Moth wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings an artistic, whimsical perspective to insect motifs with its graphic repeat of stylised moths against a vivid magenta backdrop. Each moth features detailed wings decorated with fine dots, linework and delicate floral flourishes in soft pink and warm golden tones, framed by symmetrical golden foliage. What we particularly like about this design is how the structured layout balances the playful, popping cherry pink palette, creating an expressive pattern with heritage-inspired character. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this is one of our wallpapers that makes an immediate, confident statement while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the rich colour saturation and balanced pattern repeat, we see this working wonderfully across spaces where you want to add distinct personality. In a dining room or living room, giving our wallpaper an uninterrupted feature wall behind a sideboard or sofa lets the symmetry and intricate wing details take centre stage. The repeat also lends itself beautifully to more intimate settings such as a bedroom, dressing room, powder room or home study, where the warm pink and gold notes wrap the room in a cosy, decorative mood.

Styling it

To let the striking palette of the wallpaper lead the scheme, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents that complement its vintage and Regency-inspired charm.

• Darker wood furniture, such as rich walnut or mahogany, provides a grounded, classic contrast to the vibrant magenta and cherry pink background.
• Brass or warm gilded metal accents on lighting, mirrors or hardware echo the golden leaves and linework throughout the moth wings.
• Upholstered seating or drapery in solid, muted jewel tones or neutral velvet helps balance the energy of the pattern without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The verified palette in our wallpaper centres on rich magenta, cherry pink, soft blush and warm golden accents. When introducing surrounding colours, we like pairing this design with deep plum, muted berry tones or dusky rose on adjacent walls and woodwork for a cohesive, colour-drenched look. Alternatively, grounding the room with warm off-white, antique cream or deep charcoal on trim and larger furnishings allows the pink and gold moth motif to stand out cleanly.
