Wallpaper - Asian Tigers, Blue

Our Asian Tigers, Blue wallpaper brings together dramatic movement and delicate chinoiserie detail, created for us by designer Irina Chikati. Two powerful tigers leap toward each other across the composition, their warm orange and black striped forms rendered with a fine watercolour-like technique. They are framed by slender bamboo foliage, while a faded red sun glows against a deep navy blue background with textured grey and white painterly nuances. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the tigers create a strong central point of tension and movement, we see this working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where the dynamic composition has room to unfold. In a living room, dining room, or a playful family room, placing the design behind low-backed furniture allows the leaping tigers, bamboo stalks, and glowing sun to remain fully visible. The deep navy backdrop creates an enveloping and cozy atmosphere, especially when balanced with balanced natural light or soft warm evening lamplight that highlights the delicate brushwork.

Styling it

To let the expressive narrative of the wall murals take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with relatively quiet surrounding elements:

• Choose simple furniture in dark wood finishes or matte black to echo the tiger stripes and ground the deep blue background.
• Introduce subtle brass, aged bronze, or muted gold accents through lighting fixtures and hardware to complement the warm orange tones and glowing sun.
• Balance the scene with neutral, tactile textiles in unbleached linen, cream, or oatmeal to soften the high contrast of the illustration.

Colour combinations

The motif centres on deep navy blue, warm orange, crisp black, soft grey, and a muted, faded red sun. When selecting paint shades for adjacent walls, skirting, or woodwork, we recommend echoing the background with a matching rich navy for a moody, wraparound effect. Alternatively, soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit greys provide a quiet contrast that lets the rich blues and vibrant tiger coats stand out naturally.
