Wallpaper - Forest Moth II

In our Forest Moth II wallpaper, artist Julia Purinton brings the quiet intricacies of the natural world to life through an expressive oil-painted motif. A close-up study of a moth takes centre stage, displaying detailed wing patterns in warm brown, earthy sienna, soft beige, and ochre-orange. Striking blue and black eye markings give the upper wings a captivating focal point, balanced by scalloped edges with gentle pink accents. Set against a light, painterly cream background, the composition feels artistic and grounded. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an effortless way to bring natural artistry into your home.

In the room

We see our Forest Moth II mural wallpapers working particularly well in spaces where you want a considered, nature-inspired focal point without overwhelming the surroundings. In a study or home office, placing this design on the wall behind a desk creates an engaging, creative backdrop that rewards closer viewing. The fine painterly detail and rich wing markings also make it a natural choice for a living room, especially on an accent wall behind a sofa or along a main entertaining wall. Because the central motif has significant visual presence against a light cream ground, it holds its own comfortably on a larger, uninterrupted wall while still feeling calm and balanced in more compact rooms.

Styling it

The warm, earthy palette and expressive painted character make this wallpaper especially suited to heritage, French country, and rustic contemporary interiors.

To create a balanced scheme around our Forest Moth II wallpaper, we suggest:

• Pairing the design with warm wood furniture, such as antique pine, mid-toned oak, or painted cabinetry in muted off-whites, which echo the natural warmth of the sienna and cream tones.
• Introducing soft, textured textiles like unbleached linen curtains, woven throws, or a simple wool rug to complement the painterly texture without competing with the intricate wing motifs.
• Incorporating subtle accents in aged bronze, dark iron, or deep matte black to connect with the striking eye markings and give the room clear visual definition.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built upon a warm palette of sienna brown, beige, and soft orange, contrasted with deep black, vivid blue eye-spots, and delicate touches of pink over a light cream base.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or skirting, we recommend soft, warm neutrals such as creamy off-white, oat, or pale biscuit to let the central moth motif stand out naturally. For a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper earthy shades like warm sienna, muted terracotta, or deep cocoa brown draw out the darker wing markings and ground the entire room. If you want a subtle accent colour in surrounding textiles or decorative pieces, soft dusty rose or muted slate blue can pick up the delicate secondary tones within the wings.
