Wallpaper - Hidden Cat

Created by Julia Purinton, our Hidden Cat wallpaper brings lush jungle foliage and quiet intrigue together in a rich, painterly composition. Dense palm fronds, banana leaves, and vibrant pink and coral tropical blooms frame a tiger peeking through the greenery, where only its watchful golden eye and striped coat emerge from the shadows. The painted brushwork gives the artwork an expressive, layered depth that creates an immersive backdrop. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper is straightforward to hang and brings an artistic presence to any room.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, where the large scale of the tropical leaves and the hidden motif can command a feature wall. Because the artwork relies on rich depth and detailed layering, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or low sideboard where the composition remains largely visible. In spaces with good natural daylight, the distinct brushstrokes and subtle gradations between fern greens, deep emeralds, and warm ochres show clearly, while in softer evening lamplight, the tiger's golden gaze recedes into an atmospheric, mysterious setting.

Styling it

To balance the expressive visual detail of our wall murals, we recommend surrounding them with grounded, tactile furniture. Low-profile seating upholstered in quiet woven fabrics allows the lush greenery to remain the centre of attention without competing for visual dominance. Darker wood tones such as walnut or stained teak echo the natural forest feel, while warm brass or aged metal light fixtures pick up on the tiger's tawny coat.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a dense foundation of fern green, deep teal, and earthy ochre, accented with soft white, rose pink, and warm coral flowers. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, deeper forest greens or muted sage tones create an enveloping, continuous feel. If you prefer higher contrast, a warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room light while framing the vibrant botanical palette.
