Wallpaper - Painterly Tigers Orange

Created by Nina Leth, our Painterly Tigers Orange wallpaper pairs expressive, slate-blue tigers with stylized botanical blooms across a warm, terracotta-orange backdrop. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the graphic animal forms and the rich decorative florals in magenta, plum, and soft gold. The flowing repeat gives the wall an artistic, eclectic character with a textile-inspired visual quality. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The confident scale and warm ground tone make this wallpaper an exciting focal point for living rooms, dining rooms, and creative bedroom schemes. In a dining room or living space, we would place it on a prominent main wall behind a sideboard or sofa, where the large tigers and stylized flora have plenty of space to be seen in full.

Because the repeat is decorative and rhythmic, it also works wonderfully in smaller transitional spaces such as an entryway, powder room, or dressing room. Wrapping a more compact room in this pattern creates an enveloping, whimsical mood where the contrast between cool blue animals and warm terracotta leaves an immediate impression.

Styling it

To let the expressive pattern lead the room, we suggest balancing the wall with grounded furniture and thoughtful material choices. Mid-tone or darker timbers like walnut sit comfortably against the warm orange background, anchoring the energy of the motif. For upholstered pieces, selecting solid fabrics in muted navy, deep plum, or warm terracotta echoes the colours in the artwork without introducing competing patterns. Keeping surrounding silhouettes relatively clean ensures the wall remains the hero of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on a warm terracotta orange ground, contrasted by cool slate blues and periwinkle in the tiger motifs, along with accent tones of magenta, berry red, muted ochre, and olive.

When painting adjacent walls, trim, or skirting boards, we recommend pulling out one of the softer tones from the motif. A soft terracotta or muted apricot will create a warm, tonal transition throughout the space. Alternatively, an earthy muted navy or deep slate grey will pick up the cool tones of the tigers, providing a sophisticated and dramatic contrast.
