Wallpaper - Dragonfly on The Wall

Our Dragonfly on The Wall wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, brings together a striking focal motif with an energetic botanical composition. At the centre of the scene, a detailed dragonfly displays intricate green and black wings alongside a dark blue body accented by clean white highlights. It is framed by large orange flowers with delicate white veins and lush green foliage, all resting against a rich forest green backdrop. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The expressive contrast between the warm orange petals, deep forest green backdrop, and crisp white details gives this design a confident presence in the home. In a dining room or living room, we like seeing this wallpaper on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full scale of the dragonfly and floral elements can take centre stage without being broken up by tall cabinetry.

In smaller or more intimate spaces, such as an entryway, powder room, or dedicated study, the rich green ground creates a wonderfully enveloping atmosphere. Rather than overwhelming the space, wrapping the pattern around the walls creates an immersive, jewel-box feel. The painted detail in the wings and petals remains crisp in direct daylight, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth of the earthy orange tones.

Styling it

The rich palette and graphic nature of the botanical illustration give this design a natural home in both eclectic maximalist and contemporary interior schemes.

To let the artwork stand out, we suggest balancing the wall with furniture in deep, grounding wood tones such as walnut or dark-stained oak. The earthy depth of the wood echoes the forest green ground without competing for attention.

When introducing surrounding decorative accents, subtle aged brass or bronze hardware complements the warm orange florals beautifully. Keep large upholstery pieces relatively calm in solid, textured weaves, which allows the detailed line work of our mural wallpapers to carry the visual energy of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by deep forest green, vivid earthy orange, dark blue, and crisp white accents.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or ceiling trims, we recommend pulling directly from the backdrop with a muted olive or deep moss green to create a seamless, cohesive transition. Alternatively, an off-white or soft warm cream provides a clean, bright contrast that highlights the white-veined detailing within the flowers. For a bolder, design-led scheme, deep petrol blue or burnt terracotta accents will naturally mirror the rich tones in the dragonfly and petals.
