Wallpaper - Moon Moth I

Created by Yvette St. Amant, our Moon Moth I wallpaper combines balanced celestial symbolism with vibrant botanical detail against an ink-black background. A vivid orange butterfly rests above a blue-green moth, united along a central vertical axis by five white moon phases. Surrounding the insects, rich teal and orange foliage, bright floral accents, scattered stars, and fine geometric elements create a layered, illustrative composition. The high contrast gives the motif an unmistakable presence, produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle physical structure in the paper surface.

In the room

Because of its strong symmetry and vertical alignment, we particularly like this design as a central feature wall. In a bedroom, placing the motif behind the bedhead anchors the entire space, drawing the eye directly along the vertical line of moon phases. It also works naturally in a dedicated dressing room, creative living room, or teenage room where you want the wall to carry bold visual character rather than fade into the background.

Given the depth of the dark ground, the artwork shows best where the wall receives relatively even daylight or focused evening light, allowing the fine star details and the saturated contrast between orange and teal to stand out clearly. In smaller rooms, using it on a single uninterrupted accent wall keeps the composition intact without overwhelming the proportions of the space.

Styling it

The rich black foundation and 1970s bohemian aesthetic pair naturally with warm, tactile surroundings. We suggest balancing the high-contrast artwork with understated, grounded interior pieces:

• Bring in warm wood finishes, such as teak, walnut, or honeyed oak, to complement the glowing apricot and orange tones of the butterfly and botanicals.
• Choose low-sheen brass or matte black accents for light fixtures and hardware, echoing both the dark ground and the celestial theme.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger rugs in muted, neutral textures like cream, warm sand, or deep charcoal so the wallpaper remains the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on the dynamic contrast between intense orange and apricot tones against deep teal, blue-green, and a solid black base, with crisp white highlights through the moon phases. To build a cohesive room around our wall murals, we recommend pulling the warmer undertones onto adjacent surfaces using soft terracotta, muted apricot, or warm ivory. For a moodier, enveloping interior, pairing the design with dark charcoal, off-black, or deep petroleum teal woodwork creates a seamless, grounded backdrop.
