Ruby Throat Hummingbird and Monarda – Tile Mural

The watercolour scene captures a bustling garden filled with life. A hummingbird, with its distinctive red throat and green body, is poised before a cluster of crimson bee balm blossoms. Around them, tall purple flowers stand amongst delicate yellow wildflowers and deep violet petunias, all nestled within a variety of rich green foliage, from feathery ferns to broad hosta leaves. The soft, light-filled background gives the composition a fresh, airy quality.

A ruby-throated hummingbird hovers mid-flight, its iridescent feathers catching the light as it approaches a bright red bee balm flower.

Every mural is printed and kiln fired to order in Somerset, England, on ceramic tiles in your choice of three sizes — 10cm, 15cm or 20cm — and two finishes, Gloss or Matt. Colours are fired into the glaze, so the design is permanent, scratch resistant and completely waterproof, making it suitable for kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms and showers.

This garden mural introduces a wonderfully verdant and lively element to a kitchen or conservatory. Its bright, naturalistic palette works especially well as a feature splashback, tying together wooden worktops or complementing simple, neutral-coloured units. The upward growth of the plants in the design can also give the impression of more height in the room.
