Wallpaper - Pretty Birds

Created by Julia Purinton, our Pretty Birds wallpaper brings a serene, painterly motif into the home with two soft blue birds perched delicately among slender pussy willow branches. Rendered with the visual character of an oil painting on canvas, the artwork balances fine vertical branches against a soft, brushed background of light brown, warm taupe, and earthy undertones. The vivid sky blue plumage of the birds provides a lovely focal point without overwhelming the quiet warmth of the natural scenery. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design makes it easy to bring an artistic and tranquil feel to any room.

In the room

We see this mural working exceptionally well in a bedroom, where the gentle palette and peaceful composition create an inviting, restful backdrop behind a bed or across a main feature wall. The vertical flow of the willow branches lends a sense of height to spaces with standard ceilings, drawing the eye upward while keeping the overall wall open and uncluttered. In a living room or a dedicated meditation space, our design performs best on a relatively uninterrupted wall where the full placement of the two birds and the atmospheric brushwork have space to be appreciated.

Styling it

To complement the heritage and painterly feel of this design, we suggest pairing it with furniture in warm, mid-tone woods or soft painted finishes. Keeping larger upholstered pieces in quiet neutrals allows the blue accents in the motif to take centre stage.

• Choose furniture with classic or heritage silhouettes, such as a shaker-style headboard or a traditional wooden console, to echo the artistic period style of the painting.
• Bring in simple textiles in natural textures like woven wool throws or smooth cotton cushions to mirror the grounded, earthy backdrop.
• Keep nearby wall décor minimal so the delicate detail of the branches and birds remains the clear visual highlight of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by warm light brown, gentle taupe, and soft earthy neutrals, punctuated by the distinctive pale sky blue and teal shades of the perched birds. When styling surrounding surfaces, we suggest drawing out the warm undertones with off-white, oat, or light beige on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you would like to introduce subtle contrast, carrying a soft dusky blue or a muted slate into accent cushions, ceramics, or lampshades helps connect the room's decor directly to the birds in the artwork.
