Wallpaper - Royal Birds

Our Royal Birds wallpaper by Farida Zaman brings together charming illustrated songbirds, fluttering butterflies, and delicate botanical sprigs set against a deep navy backdrop. Rendered with a warm, hand-painted look, each bird features soft decorative motifs across its plumage, balanced by muted pastel florals in blush pink, lilac, dusky rose, and earthy terracotta. The open composition gives every illustrated element breathing room, creating a playful yet soothing visual rhythm on the wall. Produced as made-to-measure wallpaper, our PVC-free design has a subtle physical structure in the paper that adds character to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across nurseries, children's bedrooms, and dedicated playrooms where its whimsical nature can really shine. Because the dark background anchors the motif while the pastel elements provide gentle contrast, the pattern feels delightfully engaging without overwhelming the room. On a feature wall behind a cot or a toddler's bed, the illustrated birds create an enchanting focal point that sparks the imagination. In a playroom or creative space, you could also wrap the wallpaper across multiple walls to build an immersive, storybook setting.

Beyond children's spaces, we also like how this design can bring character to a dressing room or a cosy reading nook. The balanced spacing between the birds and floral sprigs means that placing lower furniture against the wall, such as a low bookcase or a chest of drawers, will not disrupt the overall visual harmony.

Styling it

When styling around our mural wallpapers like Royal Birds, we recommend leaning into simple furniture forms with softer finishes that complement the painterly aesthetic. Lighter wood tones or warm, painted furniture pieces provide a gentle contrast against the deep navy backdrop, preventing the room from feeling too heavy.

To keep the balance in the room, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, tactile textiles. Solid-colour cushions, bed throws, or curtains in washed cotton or wool echo the soft texture of the illustration without introducing competing patterns. Keeping large rugs relatively plain and neutral allows the lively birds and botanical details on the wall to remain the primary decorative focus.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around a deep indigo-navy base, brightened by earthy orange, terracotta, blush pink, soft lilac, and muted seafoam green. When selecting paint shades and accents for surrounding surfaces, we suggest drawing directly from these supporting tones.

A soft, dusty pink or muted lavender on adjacent walls or painted joinery will highlight the delicate petals and butterfly wings in the motif. If you prefer a more neutral scheme, off-whites with a warm, creamy undertone pair effortlessly with the background while keeping the space airy. For a richer, more enveloping feel, especially in a dressing room or bedroom, matching surrounding skirting boards and architraves to the deep navy background creates a tailored, cohesive look.
