Wallpaper - Tiger Moth

Our Tiger Moth wallpaper brings a bold, painterly portrait of a garden tiger moth onto the wall, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch. What catches our attention first is the vivid contrast between the patterned forewings in rich chocolate brown and creamy white against the glowing orange underwings dotted with deep blue spots. Set against an energetic chartreuse green backdrop with expressive, painted-looking brush marks and soft shadow tones, the composition carries a striking graphic presence. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong focal motif and saturated color story, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall where the central illustration has space to command attention. In a living room, dining area, or creative home office, placing the motif on a wide, uninterrupted wall behind low furniture lets the full wing spread and vibrant background color remain unobstructed. In smaller spaces like an entryway or powder room, the expressive green field and bold graphic shapes envelop the room with distinct character.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest letting the artwork take center stage while keeping surrounding elements grounded in natural materials and clean silhouettes:

• Balance the high-energy chartreuse background with warm wood tones, such as mid-tone oak or walnut, across shelving, sideboards, or dining tables.
• Echo the deep brown and black details of the moth’s wings through matte black light fixtures or dark metal accents to anchor the room.
• Introduce textured upholstery or drapery in earthy neutral tones like unbleached linen, cream, or soft charcoal to soften the vivid colors without competing for visual interest.

Color combinations

The color palette within our Tiger Moth mural wallpaper is centered on a lively chartreuse lime green, punctuated by rich chocolate brown, crisp cream, bright vermilion orange, and dark indigo blue. When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, off-whites with neutral undertones keep the overall space feeling open and balanced. For a more dramatic, cohesive palette, pulling the deep chocolate brown or a muted olive green onto neighboring walls or woodwork creates an intimate, considered look.
