Wallpaper - Dragonfly on The Wall

Our Dragonfly on The Wall wallpaper brings together vivid botanicals and delicate insect illustration, created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch. A large dragonfly takes centre stage with intricate black and green wings, a dark blue body, and crisp white highlights, surrounded by broad orange flowers with fine white-veined petals and lush foliage. The rich forest green background gives the composition depth and strong visual presence, allowing the warm floral tones to stand out with clarity. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this design features a subtle structure in the paper that gives our wallpapers a refined tactile finish on the wall.

In the room

This wall mural has an expressive, decorative scale that works particularly well when given an uninterrupted surface to unfold. In a living room or dining room, we would place it on a main feature wall behind a sofa or dining table where the central dragonfly and surrounding blooms can anchor the space. The deep green backdrop also makes it an engaging choice for a study, home office, or entry hall, where a smaller space can embrace a richer, more immersive atmosphere. Because the composition is bold and graphic, it benefits from a wall that is not overly broken up by high cabinets or tall bookcases, allowing the interplay between the flora and fauna to be fully appreciated.

Styling it

The rich botanical theme and Art Nouveau inspiration pair naturally with eclectic, vintage, or modern maximalist interiors. To balance the vibrant orange blooms and detailed insect illustration, we recommend keeping larger surrounding furniture grounded with clean, confident silhouettes.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as medium-toned walnut or vintage teak, which complements the earthy green background without competing with the vivid floral tones.
• Introduce dark metal details or brass accents in light fixtures and mirrors to echo the graphic line work and delicate wing veining.
• Pair with quiet, solid upholstery in charcoal, navy, or cream to give the room visual breathing space while letting the wall mural serve as the focal point.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a foundation of deep forest green, accented by energetic orange, warm ochre, dark blue, and crisp white detailing. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, deep botanical greens create a seamless, enveloping look that extends the backdrop of the wallpaper. If you prefer higher contrast, off-white or soft linen tones on adjoining walls and skirting will make the orange petals and fine linework stand out sharply. For accent accessories, muted terracotta or navy blue will naturally pull from the secondary shades within the motif.
