Wallpaper - Bumblebee II

Our Bumblebee II wallpaper brings a bold, painterly insect study to the wall with expressive brushwork and rich visual contrast. Created by Mackenzie Nelson, the design depicts a bumblebee rendered in deep black, vivid ochre yellow, and grey-toned wings with subtle violet reflections, all set against a textured off-white background with visible painterly strokes. The artwork captures an inviting, mid-century modern aesthetic that feels expressive yet grounded. Made to measure for your specific wall dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper is straightforward to hang and brings a distinctive artistic focal point to living spaces.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and graphic presence of the motif, we see this wall mural working particularly well as a statement feature wall. In a living room or dining room, placing the design on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the characterful brushwork and full form of the bumblebee to be appreciated from across the room. It also works beautifully behind a bed in a guest room or bedroom, where the warm yellow tones add personality without overwhelming the space.

For smaller private areas, such as a home office, dressing room, or powder room, our mural wallpapers bring an unexpected burst of nature-inspired art. The light, neutral background keeps the overall wall feeling open, while the dark graphic lines provide strong visual structure even in rooms with compact proportions.

Styling it

The graphic quality and mid-century aesthetic of this design make it easy to pair with both retro-inspired and contemporary interior styles. We would lean into simple furniture with clean silhouettes to keep the visual focus on the artwork itself.

• Pair with warm natural woods like teak, oak, or walnut to complement the golden yellow accents in the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and textiles in understated neutral tones, allowing the bold black and ochre brushwork on the wallpaper to serve as the main graphic element.
• Accent with matte black lighting fixtures or subtle iron hardware to echo the deep, painterly linework of the insect.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around a balance of off-white neutrals, deep black, warm golden ochre, and soft grey wings tinted with lilac-grey undertones.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, warm off-whites and creamy neutrals create a seamless, cohesive backdrop. To draw out the graphic energy of the artwork, charcoal grey or muted black accents on window frames and furniture provide crisp definition. If you prefer introducing subtle colour elsewhere in the room, soft muted ochre, gentle mustard, or pale lavender-grey can echo the design without competing with it.
