Wallpaper - Tiger Moth

Our Tiger Moth wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch presents a striking, graphic insect study defined by bold contrasts and rich colour. Set against a vibrant chartreuse green backdrop, the motif features a tiger moth with dramatic chocolate brown and creamy white patterning across its forewings, opening to reveal vibrant orange hindwings patterned with deep indigo-blue spots. The artwork carries an expressive, painterly character where brushstrokes and layered pigments add visual depth to the wings and subtle cast shadow. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artful, nature-inspired focal point to interior walls.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well as a bold feature wall, particularly in spaces where the vibrant lime-green backdrop can establish the room's energy. In a living room or dining area, placing this mural wallpaper behind a dining table or low-backed sofa gives the central moth motif clear visual prominence without being broken up by tall furniture. In a study, reading nook, or creative workspace, the combination of vivid colour and detailed natural illustration creates an engaging, characterful atmosphere across a dedicated feature wall.

Because the composition centres on a distinctive, large-scale graphic motif with strong symmetry, it performs best on walls that offer an uninterrupted view. In compact rooms or entryways, wrapping a single accent wall with this design brings immediate warmth and curiosity, while in larger, open-plan spaces, it functions naturally as an artistic anchor that defines a specific seating or conversation zone.

Styling it

When styling around our Tiger Moth design, we suggest letting the wallpaper lead the visual narrative while balancing its bold palette with grounded, tactile furnishings.

• Ground the vivid lime background with natural, mid-to-dark wood furniture, such as walnut or warm-toned oak, which echoes the rich chocolate tones in the moth's wings.
• Introduce upholstery or cushions in deep indigo, burnt orange, or warm cream to pick up the secondary colours of the hindwings and create a cohesive decorative rhythm.
• Keep surrounding architectural elements, woodwork, or adjacent painted walls relatively understated with neutral off-whites or soft mossy tones so the focal wall retains its impact.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on an expressive palette of chartreuse green, rich chocolate brown, creamy white, bright amber-orange, and ink-blue accents.

To create a balanced interior, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with surrounding walls in muted warm whites, soft stone, or pale linen tones that allow the green background to pop naturally. For a richer, more enveloping scheme, neighbouring surfaces or cabinetry in deep espresso brown, olive green, or navy blue connect directly with the darker wing markings and ground the brighter hues of the motif.
