Wallpaper - Good Side

Our Good Side wallpaper, photographed by Nathan Larson, presents an intimate profile portrait of a white duck against a textured, muted dark backdrop. We especially like how the fine feather textures and smooth curve of the neck stand out with sculptural clarity, creating a striking photographic study in monochrome and sepia-leaning tones. Because this wall mural operates on a grand scale, the subject brings an unexpected, quiet character to an interior wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

With such a dramatic, close-up subject, we think this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full profile has room to command the room. In a living room or dining room, positioning the mural along a main wall creates an immediate focal point that feels artistic rather than busy. Because the background is dark and shaded, the design sits comfortably behind a low sofa or credenza without losing its distinctive silhouette. We also see this working exceptionally well in a study, home office, or hallway, where the calm expression and restrained palette bring depth and visual interest without overwhelming a compact space.

Styling it

To complement the photographic quality of the mural, we would keep the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Contemporary or mid-century pieces with simple profiles ensure the wall remains the hero of the space. Dark-stained timber or painted black furniture echoes the deep shadows in the background, while natural textures like woven wool or matte ceramics provide gentle tactile contrast without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on soft off-whites, cool bone tones, and deep charcoal with subtle sepia and olive undertones in the background. Around the wall mural, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft chalky neutrals, deep slate greys, or muted olive tones that pick up the shaded backdrop. Warm charcoal trim or off-white skirting boards frame the image naturally and keep the surrounding palette cohesive.
