Wallpaper - Wild Wild World

Our Wild Wild World wallpaper by Imary brings a rich, 19th-century botanical character to life with an expressive mix of curious monkeys, detailed butterflies, and lush tropical foliage. Layered broad leaves in muted fern green and soft earthy undertones frame playful wildlife alongside vivid coral orchids and banana blossoms. The watercolor-like rendering gives each animal and leaf a finely detailed, illustrated finish, balancing artistic elegance with a whimsical narrative. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

Because of its horizontal panorama and rich narrative detail, we see this wall mural working particularly well along a primary wall in a living room, dining room, or a curated study. In a dining area or guest bedroom, placing the design on an uninterrupted wall allows the different animal characters and botanical layers to remain fully visible across the room. The composition carries enough visual interest to serve as a standout feature wall behind a low credenza or bed, but the softened, muted green backdrop ensures the wallpaper does not overwhelm more intimate spaces such as an entryway or powder room.

Styling it

To let the detailed vintage illustration take center stage, we would balance the surrounding space with classic furniture lines and understated materials.

• Combine the design with warm wood furniture, such as medium-toned walnut or vintage mahogany, to echo the 19th-century natural history aesthetic.
• Introduce upholstery in unpatterned weaves or soft velvet in neutral tones, keeping large seating areas visually quiet against the dense botanical scenery.
• Incorporate subtle brass or muted bronze accents in table lamps or hardware to draw out the warm ochre and golden tones found in the butterflies and botanical highlights.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a foundation of soft fern greens, muted olive, and warm cream, accented by coral red orchids, warm ochre, and deep blue-grey tones in the monkeys' fur. For adjacent walls and surrounding millwork, we suggest drawing from the background with an earthy off-white, warm linen tone, or a gentle moss green to maintain an organic, cohesive feel. If you prefer a richer contrast, framing the room with deep forest green or muted charcoal accents on door frames and skirting boards will ground the vibrant tropical elements beautifully.
