Wallpaper - Birds of Paradise

Our Birds of Paradise wallpaper brings together delicate hummingbirds in graceful flight among lush, layered tropical foliage. Illustrated by Imary with an oil-painted look, the scene combines large grey banana leaves and patterned foliage with soft pops of blush pink, peach, and white blossoms across a cloudy, painterly sky. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between the botanical detail and the gentle, muted palette, creating an exotic mural that feels calm rather than overwhelming. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and easy to live with.

In the room

Because of its expansive composition and fine botanical detailing, we see this design working beautifully on a wider uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Placing it behind a sofa or low headboard lets the higher canopy of banana leaves and flying hummingbirds stay fully visible across the upper portion of the wall. In a dining space, the warm undertones in the peach blossoms and overcast sky create a cosy, inviting setting for evening gatherings. It also works wonderfully in a quiet study, home office, or dressing room where you want to introduce a touch of heritage tropical character without dominating the entire room.

Styling it

To let the detailed painterly foliage take centre stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and understated.

• Warm wood tones, such as mid-century teak, walnut, or warm oak, naturally complement the earthy undertones and soft peach floral notes in the mural.
• Simple, tailored upholstery in unpatterned fabrics allows the dense botanical motifs on the wall to stand out without visual competition.
• Accents in muted bronze or antique brass sit comfortably alongside the heritage chinoiserie character of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The design itself is anchored by a soft palette of muted grey, slate, and charcoal green foliage, accented with delicate blush pink, soft peach, dusty mauve, and creamy white flowers against a warm, overcast sky.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend echoing these soft background tones. A warm off-white or pale greige creates a seamless, airy transition that lets the wallpaper remain the focal point. For a more enveloping, moody atmosphere, pairing the wallpaper with deep slate grey, muted navy, or charcoal on surrounding architraves and doors enhances the depth and drama of the tropical foliage.
