Wallpaper - Evening Entomology

Our Evening Entomology wallpaper by Carrie Cantwell sets an intricate, colourful collection of stylised insects against a deep navy blue ground. Symmetrical butterflies, beetles, bees, ants, and spiders are arranged across the repeat in vibrant shades of bright red, sunny yellow, vivid pink, lively green, and light blue. The flat graphic illustration style balances bold lines with fine decorative detailing, giving the repeat an energetic and whimsical character. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our wallpapers are made to bring distinctive design into the home in a straightforward way.

In the room

The high-contrast motif and rich midnight backdrop give this design an expressive presence, making it well suited to spaces where you want a playful feature wall. In a living room or bedroom, we would place our wall mural on the main uninterrupted wall behind a sofa or bed frame, letting the colourful details of the insects catch the eye across the room. The structured, rhythmic repeat also works wonderfully in a home office, study, or creative studio, where the graphic nature of the artwork adds visual interest without feeling disordered. In smaller spaces like a hallway staircase or powder room, the deep blue ground creates a cosy, enveloping atmosphere while the bright insect illustrations pop under targeted evening lighting.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we suggest balancing the energetic multi-coloured motif with grounded furniture shapes and deliberate accent choices.

• Work with clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture in warm wood tones, such as walnut or teak, to ground the busy graphic repeat.
• Draw out one or two specific accent colours from the insect illustrations, like an ochre yellow velvet cushion, an emerald green ceramic lamp, or a coral throw, to tie the room together.
• Keep larger floor surfaces and surrounding textiles relatively quiet with neutral wool rugs or simple woven fabrics, allowing our mural wallpapers to remain the clear focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper is a dark midnight blue, punctuated by saturated tones of cherry red, bright yellow, candy pink, forest green, and sky blue across the insect bodies and wings. For adjacent walls, a soft muted navy or deep ink blue creates a sophisticated, cohesive look that lets the pattern feel like a natural extension of the architecture. If you prefer higher contrast, off-white, soft oat, or chalky neutral paint on the woodwork and trim will frame the wall murals cleanly. For decorative accents, echoing the mustard yellow or forest green found in the beetles and butterflies creates an intentional, eclectic interior scheme.
