Wallpaper - American Pika

Our American Pika wallpaper brings a quiet wildlife moment into the home, captured through the photography of Jim Wiebe. The composition focuses on a small pika resting on a cool grey rock, with its soft brown and beige fur set against a softly blurred, natural backdrop. Tiny green alpine plants dot the rocky foreground, introducing subtle pops of colour into an otherwise earthy palette. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a light paper structure, this design brings a grounded, natural presence to a feature wall while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

Because of the photographic depth of field and the central focus on the pika, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an accent wall where the motif can be viewed from across the room. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa or credenza lets the rocky texture and gentle subject create a peaceful focal point without visual clutter. The calm character also suits a bedroom, where the muted earthy tones establish a restful setting behind the bedhead. For a nursery or child's bedroom, the charming animal portrait adds a gentle, storybook quality that feels timeless rather than overly cartoonish.

Styling it

We recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded so the photographic detail remains the clear focus of the space.

• Choose warm wooden furniture in walnut or natural timber finishes that echo the brown tones of the pika's coat and the earthy background.
• Introduce textured upholstery and cushions in unbleached cotton, bouclé, or wool to complement the soft feel of the wildlife portrait.
• Keep wall fixtures, lighting, and hardware understated, using matte black or muted bronze accents that frame the scene without competing with it.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on natural earthy shades, leading with walnut brown, soft beige, and stony grey, highlighted by delicate green touches in the vegetation. When selecting surrounding wall paint, warm off-white, light greige, or pale stone work effortlessly on adjacent walls to keep the room bright and balanced. For a deeper, more enveloping mood, a muted olive green or warm taupe pulled from the background tones will frame the mural wallpapers beautifully.
