Wallpaper - Into the Tropical Shade

Our Into the Tropical Shade wallpaper, designed by Dina June, layers oversized tropical foliage with a vibrant, watercolour-like finish against a soft, pale backdrop. Broad banana leaves in lush emerald and cool teal anchor the foreground, balanced by monstera leaves rendered in warm terracotta and rich wine tones. Fine white veining and soft brushstroke variations give the foliage an expressive, artistic character with clear graphic presence. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and is completely PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold, large-scale botanical leaves, we particularly like this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full composition has room to breathe. In a bedroom, it works wonderfully as a feature wall behind the bedhead, setting an energetic yet grounded botanical backdrop. In a living room or open-plan seating area, placing this wall mural along a primary wall draws the eye and defines the entire space. The rich tonal variation between deep emerald greens, warm terracotta, and deep reds creates visual depth that thrives in rooms with generous natural daylight, while warmer evening lighting brings out the earthy undertones of the reddish leaves.

Styling it

To balance the expressive watercolour forms and colourful leaves, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively clean-lined and understated:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture or painted pieces in muted neutrals so the botanical pattern remains the focal point of the room.
• Introduce tactile textiles such as unbleached cotton, plain woven fabrics, or lightweight curtains in warm off-white tones that echo the soft background.
• Select decorative accents or occasional seating that pick up on the deep emerald green or earthy terracotta tones from the leaves to create a cohesive rhythm throughout the space.

Colour combinations

Our design combines deep emerald greens, teal, and soft botanical greens with contrasting accents of terracotta, wine red, and pale peachy-pink in the background. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft warm off-white or light muted beige will keep the overall scheme open and fresh. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping palette, pulling a deep forest green or muted earthy terracotta from the foliage onto neighbouring walls or joinery creates an intentional, immersive interior.
