Due to the dark greens and hot 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.
