Wallpaper - Royal Birds

Illustrated by Farida Zaman, our Royal Birds wallpaper brings charming folk-inspired birds, fluttering butterflies, and gentle botanical sprigs together against a rich, deep purple-navy backdrop. We especially like the contrast between the dark, moody ground and the soft warmth of the birds rendered in terracotta orange, dusty pink, pastel blue, and lavender. Dotted details, subtle floral crowns, and floating blossoms give the composition a whimsical, storybook character without feeling overcrowded. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an enchanting visual rhythm to residential interiors.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where the cheerful motifs create a captivating backdrop for daily play and bedtime stories. The rich dark background helps anchor the space, allowing the pastel and warm-toned details to stand out clearly. In a child's bedroom, we would place this on the wall behind the bed or crib to create a defined focal area that feels both cozy and imaginative. It also translates surprisingly well into a playful dressing room or creative guest bedroom, where the artistic folk style adds personality and warmth across a feature wall.

Styling it

To balance the illustrative nature of the wallpaper, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and warm. Natural wood tones like warm birch, light ash, or pine complement the earthy terracotta shades in the birds and maintain a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

For textiles, soft washed cottons or linens in muted blush, warm clay, or gentle moss green harmonize effortlessly with the floral sprigs. We recommend avoiding heavily patterned surrounding decor so the wall mural remains the clear visual centerpiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a deep midnight violet base layered with warm terracotta orange, dusty rose pink, muted lilac, soft sky blue, and pale sage green foliage.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls or woodwork, a soft warm white or muted pale lilac keeps the room bright while naturally echoing the floral details. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling the deep plum or navy from the background onto trim or baseboards creates a seamless, sophisticated frame around the mural wallpapers.
