Wallpaper - Cryptid Tourism IV

Designed by Omar Escalante, our Cryptid Tourism IV wallpaper captures the mysterious folklore of Point Pleasant with a retro, screenprint-inspired aesthetic. A dark-winged Mothman silhouette with piercing red eyes commands the center, set against a glowing golden-yellow full moon and swirling clouds of burnt orange and deep charcoal. Below, an arched bridge spans calm dark water, framed by bold graphic lettering warning to "heed the MOTHMAN'S WARNINGS." Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical texture, this design brings an atmospheric, graphic edge to any feature wall.

In the room

Because of its poster-style composition and bold central motif, we see this design working best on an accent wall where the complete artwork can be appreciated without heavy interruption. In a home office, study, or library, positioning the mural behind a desk or reading corner anchors the room with a brooding, narrative atmosphere. It also suits a dedicated entertainment room, hobby room, or den, where the moody, cinematic palette of charcoal gray and glowing amber sets an immersive tone. For teenage rooms or creative studio spaces, the graphic 1930s travel-poster style creates a strong personal statement that easily anchors the rest of the decor.

Styling it

We recommend letting this graphic wall mural serve as the clear focal point of the space while balancing its dramatic dark palette with thoughtful surrounding elements.

• Pair with warm, mid-to-dark wood tones such as walnut or stained pine to complement the retro travel-poster aesthetic.
• Incorporate simple matte black metal fixtures or desk accessories that echo the deep charcoal lines and silhouette of the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and textiles relatively understated, choosing solid textures in charcoal, muted olive, or warm amber rather than competing patterns.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a palette of deep charcoal gray, dark green shadows, rich burnt orange, and warm golden yellow, accented by small touches of vivid red in the eyes. When selecting paint for adjacent walls, a soft off-white or light heather gray provides clean contrast that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping room scheme, consider pulling the deep charcoal gray or a dark forest green onto adjoining walls and woodwork. Muted amber and rust accents work especially well in surrounding cushions, throws, or decorative objects to naturally draw out the warm tones of the moon and sky.
