Wallpaper - Where Are The Birds?

Designed by Silvia Vassileva, our Where Are The Birds? wallpaper brings a painterly tropical scene into the home with a rich botanical composition. The motif centres on a tall heliconia blossom rising through lush greenery, flanked by vibrant bird of paradise flowers, ginger blooms, hibiscus, and varied palm fronds set against a light, softly textured background. Rendered with an artistic, hand-painted look in shades of coral, warm orange, terracotta, and earthy olive greens, the design introduces lively colour while maintaining a balanced, heritage-inspired feel. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, where the vertical reach of the central tropical flowers can command attention without competing with surrounding architectural details. The botanical composition naturally grounds the lower half of the wall with dense leaves and vibrant blooms, while the upper area remains light and open, helping the room feel balanced rather than enclosed.

In a holiday home or a sitting room with generous daylight, the warm coral and orange tones create a cheerful, fresh atmosphere that feels inviting throughout the day. Because the artwork functions as a scenic mural wallpaper, we would position larger seating pieces slightly forward or choose lower-profile furniture so the layered foliage and colourful blossoms remain in full view.

Styling it

To complement the rich botanical painting, we suggest pairing our wallpaper with simple furniture silhouettes that let the artwork take centre stage. Natural warm wood finishes, such as teak, mid-tone oak, or woven cane, echo the tropical heritage quality of the design without adding visual clutter.

For upholstery and curtains, consider solid fabrics in neutral, unpatterned textures that pick up the warm cream background of the wall mural. Keeping surrounding patterns minimal allows the expressive brushwork and tropical foliage of the wallpaper to serve as the main decorative focal point.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on warm coral, bright orange, and muted terracotta, balanced by varied greens from soft olive to deep foliage tones, all layered over an earthy cream backdrop.

When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out the lighter cream or soft sand tones from the background for a cohesive, airy look. If you prefer a richer contrast, a warm olive green or an earthy terracotta on surrounding doors, skirting boards, or cabinetry will deepen the tropical character and beautifully frame the mural wallpapers.
