Wallpaper - Fox and The Golden Moon

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Fox and The Golden Moon wallpaper brings together an expressive red fox gazing upward toward a luminous, full golden moon against a deep, painterly indigo backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between the detailed brushwork of the fox's rich rust and white fur and the broad, calm brushstrokes of the midnight sky. Made-to-measure and PVC-free, this mural wallpaper adds a bold, storytelling presence to an interior with its distinctive hand-painted character and clear vertical focal point.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a bedroom, living room, or a cosy study. Because the composition places the fox and the moon prominently within the frame, we recommend giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted wall area where the full height of the artwork can be appreciated. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard or opposite the bed allows the deep night-sky tones to anchor the space. In a reading nook or living area, softer evening lamplight highlights the warm tones of the moon and the fox against the surrounding dark blue.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic depth of the indigo background, we would keep surrounding elements grounded and tactile. Deep navy or charcoal walls on adjacent surfaces create an intimate, enveloping feel, while lighter painted walls in warm off-white or muted stone keep the focus entirely on the mural.

Furniture in warm mid-tone woods or matte dark finishes harmonises naturally with the fox's rich coat. For textiles, we suggest layering woven wool throws or velvet cushions in ochre, burnt orange, or deep teal to subtly echo the artwork's palette without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a striking balance of rich rust orange, white, and warm gold set against layered tones of dark indigo and midnight blue.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and furnishings, warm ochre and muted terracotta tones draw out the warmth of the fox and moon. If you prefer a cooler, more understated atmosphere, deep navy or slate grey complements the night sky, while soft creams and warm greys provide a quiet, balanced contrast for woodwork and trim.
