The design
Bring a little of the New Zealand coast indoors with toetoe and two kōtare in flight.
Cream-coloured toetoe plumes rise above a dense sweep of green leaves, while two kōtare, our native kingfishers, add flashes of blue and movement. The tall composition makes a natural feature beside a doorway, in a reading corner or along a welcoming reception wall. Hand-drawn by our in-house team, developed together from sketches into detailed vector artwork, then colour-matched and made to order in our New Zealand studio.
A closer look at the artwork
Size and placement
Find the right size for your space
Position the base of the foliage at the top of your skirting, keeping the artwork level. The tallest plume sets the overall height. Leave enough clear wall above and beside the design for the birds and plumes.
Dimensions are approximate. Metres are used from 1 m upward, and centimetres below 1 m. Measure your available wall space before choosing.
Available artwork dimensions
- 60 cm wide x 1 m high
- 1 m wide x 1.67 m high
- 1.2 m wide x 2 m high
- 1.8 m wide × 3 m high
Your room, your perspective
See the design in your own space
Choose a straight-on photo of your wall, then drag the artwork into position and compare the available sizes. You can enter a known measurement and mark it on the photo to make the scale more useful.
This is a photo-based planning preview. Check your wall measurements before ordering.
Made here, for your wall
What arrives
Includes the grass, flower plumes and two birds as separate sections. Listed dimensions describe the full arrangement shown; placement can vary. Supplied with application tape, removed after installation. The 3 m-high size is supplied in multiple pieces. We recommend a professional installer for this size. Contact us for an installation quote through our New Zealand-wide installation partners. Installation is not included in the decal price.
Made to order in New Zealand in removable matte vinyl, printed with water-based inks.
Application tape holds the detail together while you transfer the artwork to the wall. It is removed after application.
Check your surface first
Best on a smooth, sound painted wall. Let new paint cure fully before installation. Removable does not mean reusable, and removal results depend on the paint and wall condition. Unsure about your finish? Send us a close-up photo before ordering.
How application-tape installation works
- Position the decal and use the side-hinge method shown in the guide, approximately 20 cm from the top.
- Remove the backing and smooth the artwork onto the wall as directed in the supplied guide.
- Remove the application tape last, leaving the artwork on the wall.
Delivery and returns
Made to order in New Zealand. See our current delivery information for shipping options and estimates. Please check return conditions before opening or applying your decal.

Photo credits
Kōtare are found in coastal and freshwater habitats throughout New Zealand, from estuaries and river margins to farmland and forest edges. Their blue-green plumage and patient watch from a perch are familiar sights around Aotearoa.
Inspired by life around Aotearoa
Look for kōtare around New Zealand’s estuaries, river margins, farmland and forest edges. Toetoe is also part of the native planting palette of the Canterbury Plains.

Drawn and made in New Zealand
We sketch and draw our designs in-house, working together as a team to develop each artwork. From those first drawings, we build high-resolution vector artwork in our design software, refining the detail and matching the colours before making your decal here in New Zealand.

For commercial and healthcare spaces, higher-tack adhesive and a protective laminate are available on request. Tell us about your wall finish and the cleaning products you use so we can confirm suitability and quote for the right finish.
