Wallpaper - Cecropia Moth

Our Cecropia Moth wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, centers on a richly detailed moth against a deep, painted green backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the bold contrast between the vivid red, charcoal, creamy white, and soft coral patterns on the outspread wings and the grounding green canvas. The painted-looking texture and expressive line work give the specimen an intimate, illustrative character that makes a striking statement on any wall. Like all Wallism wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because of the centered, large-scale motif, we see this wall mural working especially well on an accent wall where the moth can take center stage. In a living room, dining room, or bedroom, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa, dining credenza, or bed headboard allows the full wingspan and painted green background to remain visible. In more compact spaces like a study, powder room, or entryway, the rich green ground creates a wonderfully moody, enveloping atmosphere while turning the wall into a gallery-like focal point.

Styling it

To let the striking graphic presence of the wallpaper carry the visual weight of the room, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and grounded. Mid-century modern or vintage-inspired wooden pieces in warm walnut or medium oak complement the natural, painterly feel of the artwork without competing with its intricate patterns. Adding understated accents in matte black or aged brass can gently echo the charcoal details and warm highlights of the moth's wings.

Color combinations

The dominant emerald and forest green background provides an earthy foundation, while the moth itself brings in vivid red, warm coral, crisp white, charcoal, and delicate touches of muted lavender. For adjacent walls and trim, deep olive or forest greens create a seamless, dramatic look. If you prefer higher contrast, soft warm whites, alabaster, or muted clay tones will highlight the wall mural while balancing the intensity of the green field.
