Wallpaper - Parrot Paradise II

Created by Katie Pertiet, our Parrot Paradise II wallpaper brings together vividly detailed parrots perched over an antique cartographic backdrop. The design pairs the intricate lines and typography of an eighteenth-century style historical map with richly coloured macaws and parakeets in striking shades of cobalt blue, bright orange, crimson red, and emerald green. The repeating composition balances the soft, sepia-toned parchment backdrop with the vivid plumage of the birds, creating a nostalgic, heritage-inspired aesthetic with an adventurous spirit. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We love this design as a statement wall in a living room, where the interplay between the delicate cartography and colourful birds can be appreciated up close. Because the repeating pattern has both fine map detail and bold focal points, it works particularly well on an open, uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or along a main focal area. In a vacation home or country retreat, it also feels right at home across an entryway or entertaining space, setting a relaxed, characterful tone from the moment you step inside.

The warmth of the sepia background keeps the wall feeling grounded, while the rich bird plumage adds vibrant energy. In rooms with plenty of daylight, the fine line work of the coastlines, rhumb lines, and historical place names becomes beautifully clear.

Styling it

When styling around Parrot Paradise II, we like to complement the heritage aesthetic with natural materials and considered furnishings:

• Pair with warm wood tones such as honeyed teak, aged walnut, or antique pine to echo the golden, parchment undertones of the map.
• Introduce classic leather seating or woven rattan accents that highlight the colonial, travel-inspired mood of the motif.
• Keep surrounding drapery and upholstery relatively plain, opting for tactile linens in oatmeal, flax, or muted neutral tones to ensure the wallpaper remains the clear visual focus.

Colour combinations

The backdrop of this design is grounded in warm parchment, sand, and sepia tones, accented by the vivid primary and secondary colours of the birds, including rich blues, bright oranges, vibrant reds, and leafy greens.

To build a balanced palette around the room, we suggest pulling directly from the quieter tones in the background map. Creamy off-whites, warm stone, and soft antique beige work wonderfully on adjacent painted walls, cornices, and baseboards. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents in your woodwork, cabinetry, or soft furnishings, a deep botanical green, warm tobacco brown, or subtle navy blue will pick up on the feathers while maintaining a sophisticated, heritage feel.
