Wallpaper - Pelican Stories

Our Pelican Stories wallpaper brings a quiet coastal moment into the home through photographic detail by Nathan Larson. The composition centres on a solitary pelican resting on a weathered wooden post, its ruffled plumage rendered in soft tonal layers of taupe, warm brown, and neutral sepia. In the background, tall grasses and calm water fade into a gentle blur, giving the motif an open, painterly depth that feels grounded and serene. Made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers are printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a single focal subject framed by wide, softly blurred scenery, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or quiet study. The broad horizontal expanse of calm water and coastal grasses gives a room a restful sense of depth, especially when placed on an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa, low sideboard, or bed frame. In a home office or reading nook, the muted sepia tones create an understated backdrop that adds character without creating visual clutter or competing with your daily focus.

Styling it

We like pairing this photographic design with natural, tactile interior elements that echo its coastal and rustic undertones. Low-profile furniture in lighter timber or warm, aged wood works naturally alongside the weathered post in the print. To keep the atmosphere light and cohesive, combine simple upholstered seating with relaxed woven textiles like linen or wool throws. Keeping surrounding decorations relatively simple allows the pelican and the soft horizon to remain the visual anchor of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within the design is defined by soft sepia, earthy taupe, warm brown, and gentle off-white neutrals. Around the room, we would lean into subtle sandy beiges, warm chalky whites, or muted stone tones on neighbouring walls and woodwork. If you want a deeper accent in surrounding furniture or architectural trim, soft charcoal or deep espresso brown can draw out the darker feathers of the pelican while preserving the mural's vintage tonal balance.
