Wallpaper - Tropical Star

Our Tropical Star wallpaper by Sue Schlabach brings botanical detail and warmth to a wall through lush tropical greenery and a central blooming heliconia. Set against a warm apricot background with delicate brushed visual texture, the composition balances broad tropical leaves, feathered palm fronds, and vibrant magenta and golden-yellow bracts. The rich green foliage creates strong vertical movement, giving the design an inviting, illustrative presence. Like all of our wallpapers, Tropical Star is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main accent wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the central heliconia stem and surrounding foliage build height naturally, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full vertical scale and fan of palm leaves to show properly. In a vacation home or relaxed sitting area, the warm apricot background adds an inviting glow, keeping the lush green botanicals grounded rather than overwhelming.

Styling it

To let the detailed botanical artwork remain the visual focus, we would keep surrounding furnishings relatively simple and grounded in natural tones.

• Warm wood furniture, such as mid-tone oak or teak, pairs naturally with both the earthy apricot background and the botanical theme.
• Woven textures like rattan, jute, or textured linen upholstery complement the painted look of the foliage without competing with its intricate linework.
• Darker green or warm terracotta decorative accents pick up on the verified shades within the petals and leaves, tying the room together smoothly.

Color combinations

The primary palette of our wallpaper pairs deep forest greens, emerald, and softer olive tones with a warm apricot peach backdrop, accented by the vivid magenta, pink, and golden yellow of the tropical bloom. Around the mural, we would draw out the background tone with warm off-whites, sand, or soft terracotta on adjacent walls and trim. For upholstery and larger furniture, deep olive green or rich tobacco tones create a sophisticated balance against the brighter floral highlights.
