Wallpaper - Exotic Wildlife V

Our Exotic Wildlife V wallpaper, created by Andrea Haase, unites classical 18th-century cartography with botanical illustration. Set against an antique chart showing North America, the Atlantic, and the West Indies with navigation rhumb lines and compass roses, lush tropical foliage rises across the foreground. Broad banana leaves, delicate fronds, and vivid orange and red floral accents contrast with the warm parchment backdrop. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room, study, or home library where its narrative character can take centre stage. The lower half of the composition carries rich botanical weight, while the upper section opens into delicate cartographic line work. This makes it an inspired choice behind lower furniture, such as a desk, low-backed sofa, or credenza, allowing the detailed maps and navigation lines to remain clearly visible above. In larger rooms with generous wall areas, the mural wallpapers create an engaging backdrop that invites closer viewing, whilst in a more intimate study it brings an atmospheric, collected feel.

Styling it

To complement the historic and botanical layers of this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture that shares its warm, grounded character. Deep wood tones like walnut, aged mahogany, or dark oak echo the antique quality of the chart, while leather or natural woven upholstery keeps the room anchored. We would keep large decorative patterns to a minimum elsewhere in the room, letting the wallpaper carry the visual detail. Matte dark metal accents or antique brass hardware sit comfortably against the warm paper tone and verdant greens without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a foundation of fern green, deep forest, and leafy mid-tones balanced by warm parchment and aged cream in the map background, accented with burnt orange and red botanical details. For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft linen tones extend the brightness of the cartographic backdrop. If you prefer a richer atmosphere, deep earthy olive or dark botanical greens drawn directly from the foreground leaves create a cohesive, enveloping palette across joinery or painted trims.
