Wallpaper - Moon Moth III

A large teal moth takes centre stage in this illustrated wallpaper design by Yvette St. Amant, set against an intense black backdrop. Arched moon phases crown the top of the composition, with a botanical silhouette layered within the central full moon, while delicate stars drift across the dark sky. Along the lower edge, painted-look mushrooms and woodland flora in pale blue, soft grey and deep petrol tones anchor the scene. The hand-painted feel and bold contrast give the artwork an expressive, celestial character. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating a striking focal point for atmospheric interiors.

In the room

Because the motif is anchored by a large central illustration with celestial and botanical borders, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire composition can unfold clearly. It is especially well suited to a bedroom behind a bed frame, an intimate reading den, or a dedicated home study where a dark, enveloping atmosphere feels natural. In a dressing room or powder room, the deep black background creates a cocooning, dramatic mood that works beautifully in compact spaces. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the lower half of the wall so the botanical mushroom and foliage details remain fully visible.

Styling it

To let the artwork lead the space, we suggest pairing it with furniture that balances its rich, dark backdrop without competing for attention.

• Choose dark-stained timber, black painted wood or deep walnut furniture to seamlessly blend with the black background, or use mid-toned wood to introduce warmth.
• Introduce brushed brass, antique bronze, or muted gold lighting and hardware to echo the celestial starlight and lift the cooler teal shades.
• Layer bedding or upholstery in textured neutrals such as washed linen, muted charcoal or charcoal-dyed cotton, keeping patterns elsewhere in the room quiet and understated.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a cool-toned palette of deep teal, rich turquoise, soft dusty blue, and pale lilac-tinted white against solid black. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend pulling out the darker petrol or slate tones from the lower botanicals for a cohesive, wraparound effect. Alternatively, an off-black or very deep charcoal on skirtings and architraves grounds the space seamlessly. If you prefer a lighter contrast on neighbouring walls, choose an airy, cool-tinted pale grey or muted chalk white rather than a warm cream.
