Wallpaper - Chicken in the Sun II Sepia

Our Chicken in the Sun II Sepia wallpaper captures a striking close-up photographic portrait of a rooster, rendered in warm, tonal sepia and earthy umber shades. What we particularly appreciate in this design by Nathan Larson is the sharp visual detail across the eye, comb, and textured wattle, balanced against a softly blurred, warm background that keeps the focal point clear and expressive. Produced as made-to-measure murals, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle structure in the paper that lends an authentic, graphic warmth to residential interiors.

In the room

Because this design uses an intimate, large-scale photographic crop, we see it working particularly well as a distinct feature wall rather than repeated across an entire room. In a kitchen, breakfast nook, or dining space, placing this mural wallpaper on a wall where the rooster's profile can be viewed from a slight distance allows the fine details of the plumage and the depth of the sepia tones to make their full visual impact. The design also sits comfortably in open-plan cooking and dining areas, where an accent wall can define a dedicated seating corner.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, traditional character of our wall murals, we suggest pairing this design with unpretentious materials and classic furniture lines. Warm timber furniture, such as aged oak or pine tables, harmonises naturally with the sepia and brown palette. For surrounding surfaces and cabinetry, muted matte finishes keep the room grounded, allowing the close-up motif to remain the primary visual focus without competing against high-gloss textures.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a rich spectrum of sepia, earthy browns, and deep umber tones. To create a balanced palette around the wallpaper, we recommend using warm off-whites, creamy stone colours, or soft muted taupes on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to introduce deeper contrasts, rich charcoal or dark espresso painted accents on woodwork will echo the deeper shadow areas of the photograph.
