Make your home Instagram-worthy with this gorgeous Pink Jungle wallpaper. This tropical mural has been one of our most popular wallpapers to date! It’s so on-trend as well as versatile that you'll struggle to decide which room you want to install it in the most!

Due to the dark greens and light pink in the mural, experiment with shades of dark and light! Mix and match your choice of décor and find a combination of dark green, light pastel pink and mint. Don’t be afraid to throw more pattern in. Introduce patterned room accessories such as a rug or footstools. Regardless of this, do not add more pattern to the surrounding walls. Keep it simple. Use paint, such as white, to ensure the palm tree wallpaper is the focal point of the room.

If you want to create a more understated tropical feel to a room, first consider the size of print for the size of your room. Read our guide on making a small room look bigger. Don't allow a large leaf print to swallow your tiny room but rather embrace a smaller leaf pattern to tailor to your home's best attributes.
