Wallpaper - Elephant Procession to The Temple, Thai Painting

Our Elephant Procession to The Temple wallpaper translates the rich narrative style of traditional Thai painting onto a generous panoramic scale. The composition depicts a ceremonial procession moving toward a temple, complete with decorated elephants and horses adorned in red and gold detailing, riders in traditional attire, and spear-carrying attendants. The architectural elements of a Thai-style gate and stone wall balance the lush landscape, which features fern greens, rocky contours, and a river lined with lily pads. As one of our custom made mural wallpapers, this PVC-free design is printed made-to-measure on paper with a subtle surface structure, making it simple to install across an accent wall.

In the room

Because this design functions as a visual story with continuous horizontal movement, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room. Giving the full scene enough horizontal breadth allows the procession, the temple architecture, and the river scenery to be appreciated without feeling truncated. In an open living space or around a central lounge area, placing the wallpaper along the main wall creates an engaging focal point where the fine decorative details can be viewed up close. For rooms with ample daylight, the interplay between the earthy greens and the red and gold accents in the artwork becomes especially distinct.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the intricate narrative within the mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined, contemporary furniture in lower profiles. Sleek seating and low credenzas allow the vertical flow of the temple structures and towering elephants to remain fully visible.

Earthy, organic textures work naturally alongside this style of wall murals. Low-sheen darker woods or minimalist black painted pieces ground the vibrant scenery without competing with its rich decorative elements. Keeping surrounding textiles relatively quiet and free of heavy patterns helps maintain visual balance across the entire space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in earthy fern greens and stone tones, highlighted by vivid red and warm gold accents across the riders and ceremonial decorations.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, trim, or nearby cabinetry, muted olive tones or quiet stone neutrals allow the mural to stand out while keeping the room cohesive. Alternatively, bringing a warm deep red or rich terracotta accent into cushions or decorative objects can subtly tie back to the ceremonial garments in the painting.
