Wallpaper - Chimera Animals, Blue

Our Chimera Animals wallpaper brings together a symmetrical fantasy world rendered in rich dark blue against a soft slate blue ground. Two facing giraffes anchor the composition at the centre, surrounded by winged tigers, perched parrots, soaring birds, and intricately coiled serpents nestled among lush palms and peacock feathers. Drawing inspiration from classic toile de Jouy and historic tapestry traditions, the detailed linework balances playful storytelling with structured elegance. Like all of our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the strong central symmetry and rich narrative detail, we especially like this design on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire composition can unfold naturally. In a living room behind a low sofa or in a dining room framing a sideboard, the artwork immediately anchors the space without feeling visually chaotic. The calming tone-on-tone blue palette also makes it a wonderful fit for a bedroom behind the headboard, a quiet study, or a dressing room. In narrower settings such as an entryway or powder room, the intricate motifs offer plenty of close-up curiosity without requiring sprawling wall dimensions.

Styling it

The heritage character of the motif pairs naturally with classic and eclectic interior schemes:

• Contrast the cool slate backdrop with warm timber furniture, such as aged oak or walnut, to balance the visual weight of the darker blue artwork.
• Introduce understated upholstery in plain woven fabrics, keeping surrounding furniture patterns quiet so the mural wallpapers remain the focal point.
• Complement the Rococo and tapestry-inspired elements with muted brass hardware or antique bronze accents that catch soft lamp light.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a tonal foundation of slate blue and deep midnight blue, accented with subtle earthy undertones throughout the foliage and animal details. When selecting colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we suggest pulling from the softer slate tones for a harmonious, enveloping atmosphere. Warm stone, soft putty, or muted off-whites provide a clean, crisp contrast along skirting boards and window frames, while deep indigo and navy can be used on adjacent joinery to lean into a moodier, heritage look.
