Wallpaper - Tiger Swim

Our Tiger Swim wallpaper by Nina Leth brings an imaginative tropical scene to life with swimming tigers surrounded by lush palms, jungle foliage, and delicate pastel pink flora. Rich orange coats create a warm visual counterpoint against cool teal and blue water tones, while the painted illustration style gives the entire composition a fluid, artistic rhythm. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design delivers an expressive narrative backdrop that works effortlessly across both playful and sophisticated spaces.

In the room

Because of the fluid movement across the water and the vertical lift of the palm leaves, we see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a bedroom, living room, or nursery. In a children's bedroom or playroom, the swimming tigers introduce storytelling and character without overwhelming the room. For a dining room, home office, or guest bedroom, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full scope of the foliage and wildlife to be appreciated from across the space. It also brings an unexpected, decorative charm to smaller spaces like a powder room or dressing room.

Styling it

To let the illustrated tropical landscape lead the space, we would keep the surrounding furniture grounded with clean, simple profiles. Warm, mid-toned woods like teak or walnut naturally echo the warm orange tones of the tigers, while painted furniture in soft off-white or muted sage allows the wall mural to remain the focal point. Light, airy window dressings and unpatterned upholstery in neutral tones help balance the visual richness of the motif, preventing the room from feeling crowded.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of cool teal and water blue, soft pastel pink botanical details, verdant green leaves, and rich tiger orange. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, and larger furnishings, muted plaster pinks or soft dusty teals create a gentle tonal connection with the artwork. If you prefer a lighter, more classic look, warm chalky whites and pale stone shades keep the overall interior bright while framing the mural beautifully.
