Wallpaper - Flora and Fauna I

Our Flora and Fauna I wallpaper, created by artist Julia Purinton, depicts a quiet brown rabbit with a soft white tail resting among blooming flowers and dense green leaves. Set against a deep, dark ground, the composition features delicate pink, blue, and white petals with warm yellow centres that bring gentle colour to the earthy scene. The oil-paint-inspired character and classical heritage feel give the artwork a timeless woodland charm, offering a balanced contrast between botanical detail and rich shadow. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper murals, our design is PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to create a cosy, intimate atmosphere. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design behind a bed headboard creates an inviting focal point without overwhelming the surrounding room. The deep ground also makes it a natural fit for a study, home library, or dining room, where the rich background adds depth to the walls.

Because the scene has a pictorial, illustrative balance between the seated rabbit and the surrounding foliage, we recommend giving it an uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be enjoyed. In a living room or snug, positioning it across a main accent wall allows the finer floral details to be appreciated from seating nearby. In an entryway or dressing room, the darker palette can also bring an enveloping, grounded feel to more compact areas.

Styling it

The classical, painterly quality of this wall mural pairs naturally with heritage, traditional, and country-inspired interiors. We like combining the deep backdrop with warm wood tones, such as walnut or antique pine, which echo the earthy browns of the rabbit.

To keep the balance right, we would keep surrounding patterns minimal and let the wallpaper serve as the primary decorative feature. Upholstery in muted, textured fabrics like velvet or wool in olive green, dusky pink, or warm taupe will complement the botanical tones without competing with the illustration. Brass or antique bronze lighting fixtures also bring out the warmer undertones of the artwork under soft evening light.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a deep dark base, rich walnut browns, and leafy greens, accented by soft floral tones of dusty pink, cornflower blue, antique white, and small touches of yellow.

When selecting paint colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or ceiling trim, we suggest drawing directly from these softer secondary tones:

• A warm off-white or soft linen shade on the ceiling and trim keeps the room light and highlights the delicate white petals.
• Muted sage or olive green on surrounding painted walls or built-in shelving ties directly into the foliage.
• Deep cocoa brown or charcoal on skirting boards creates a continuous, immersive look that anchors the bottom of the mural.
