Wallpaper - Vintage Green Grasshopper

Our Vintage Green Grasshopper wallpaper brings an 18th-century natural history aesthetic to the wall, illustrated by Deborah Revell in a delicate watercolour style. At the centre of the composition sits a detailed grasshopper rendered in deep emerald green, accented with a warm yellow stripe and a contrasting red underside. Faint historic calligraphy floats across the soft beige background, while a small, colourful jewel beetle rests in the lower corner to complete the entomological study feel. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We especially like this design as an accent feature wall in a dedicated home study or a quiet home library, where its botanical and scientific illustration character feels right at home. Because the grasshopper is presented at a generous, illustrative scale with plenty of quiet beige ground surrounding it, the wallpaper works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall area where the full composition can breathe. It also sits comfortably behind a reading desk or low bookshelf, allowing the delicate leg line work, fine antennae, and script details to be enjoyed up close.

Styling it

The historic, illustrative style pairs naturally with traditional and English country interior schemes. We would lean into warm, classic furniture such as aged oak or rich walnut desks and shelving to echo the vintage paper tone. To keep the focus on the intricate insect drawing, surrounding decorative pieces should remain relatively understated, with antique brass desk lamps or simple framed prints that complement the heritage mood without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its rich emerald green body, vibrant scarlet underside, and soft parchment beige background, finished with subtle touches of ochre and deep blue on the secondary beetle. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle, earthy neutrals such as muted off-white, antique cream, or a warm stone beige to extend the background tone. If you prefer deeper contrast, a heritage moss green or dark forest green on surrounding trim picks up the grasshopper's wings and grounds the entire room.
