Wallpaper - Parrot Paradise Red

Our Parrot Paradise Red wallpaper, created by designer Katie Pertiet, brings an energetic tropical botanical pattern together against a rich brick-red backdrop. Illustrated macaws in vivid shades of teal, orange, and golden yellow perch among palm fronds, paired with detailed pineapples, white frangipani blossoms, and red and yellow hibiscus blooms. A subtle, tone-on-tone leafy silhouette underlay gives the red ground added depth, while the clean, repeating composition delivers a distinctive heritage textile feel. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a confident, characterful presence on the wall.

In the room

This is a vibrant, graphic pattern that works wonderfully when given room to unfold. In a living room, we would give our design a main feature wall behind a sofa or along a central dining zone, allowing the full repeat of parrots and exotic flora to be appreciated without feeling crowded. The rich red background creates an enclosing, grounded feel, which also makes it well suited to social areas in a vacation home or poolhouse where you want a playful, conversational atmosphere.

Because the repeat is neatly structured, it holds its balance well even across longer wall runs or in rooms with generous ceiling heights. In spaces that receive plenty of natural daylight, the turquoise plumage and bright yellow hibiscus flowers contrast crisply with the warm ground, while softer evening lighting deepens the brick-red base for an intimate, warm setting.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing the bold pattern and rich base colour with natural, grounded materials. Warm woods such as rattan, cane, or mid-toned timber work naturally with the tropical heritage aesthetic without competing with the illustration. Upholstered pieces in neutral woven linens or deep olive tones will ground the seating area and let the wallpaper carry the visual energy of the room.

For accents, subtle brass fixtures or unlacquered metal details pick up on the warmer yellow tones in the motif, while glazed ceramics in off-white keep side surfaces crisp and clean.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a deep brick red, enlivened by turquoise blue, bright canary yellow, warm citrus orange, fresh palm green, and accents of soft white frangipani petals.

For surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we recommend pulling from these lighter and deeper complementary tones:

• Soft warm whites or creamy off-whites that mirror the frangipani flowers, keeping adjacent walls bright and fresh.
• Muted olive or moss green on trim and skirting to tie into the palm leaves and provide a natural frame.
• Deep ochre or warm mustard textiles that highlight the yellow plumage and tropical fruit.
• Rich terracotta or warm earthy reds if you prefer an enveloping, colour-drenched room scheme.
