Wallpaper - Cat In The Basket

Photographed by Jim Dratfield, our Cat In The Basket wallpaper captures a long-haired cat settled comfortably inside a rounded woven wicker basket. The sepia photographic tone creates an earthy palette of warm caramel, rich brown, and soft biscuit shades, drawing attention to the fine weave of the basket and the gentle focus of the portrait. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working especially well as an accent wall in a quiet reading corner, a home library, or a comfortable living room. Because the subject is a single, centered portrait with rich tonal depth, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall where the complete composition can be appreciated without being heavily obscured by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards.

In a hobby room or study, placing the mural behind a low desk or a reading chair lets the warm sepia tones bring a calm, intimate character to the space. The soft contrast across the leaves and woven basket holds up well in both bright natural daylight and the lower, focused lighting of an evening lamp.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into traditional or rustic interior elements that echo the textured, photographic feel of the scene.

We would pair this mural with warm wood finishes such as antique pine, mid-toned oak, or dark stained timber to complement the sepia tones. To keep the focus on the central portrait, keep surrounding patterns minimal and introduce simple woven textiles, like a chunky wool throw or a flat-weave rug, that naturally mirror the texture of the basket.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a monochrome palette of warm caramel, sepia brown, soft fawn, and deep espresso tones.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing the surrounding walls with warm off-white, light biscuit, or soft linen paint shades. If you prefer deeper contrast, muted olive greens or warm umber tones on adjacent woodwork and shelving will highlight the earthy quality of the background foliage.
