Wallpaper - Atlantic Puffin Colony

Captured by Nathan Larson, our Atlantic Puffin Colony wallpaper brings a quiet coastal moment indoors. Four Atlantic puffins rest across rugged, weathered rock ledges, with one spreading its wings against a soft, muted sky. The crisp contrast of their black and white plumage balances against the warm earthy tones and textured stone, while small accents of orange on their beaks add subtle points of interest. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a gentle paper structure, this photographic design introduces a grounded, natural presence to residential interiors.

In the room

Because this photographic wall mural features a distinct horizontal composition, we find it works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the puffins and rock formations remain clearly visible. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low sofa keeps the upper half of the motif, including the puffin with wings outstretched, open to view. It also makes an engaging focal point in a home office, study, or reading room, where the earthy palette and natural subject create a calm, focused backdrop. For bedrooms, we like positioning the design behind the bed, letting the birds sit naturally above the headboard.

Styling it

The organic rock textures and neutral palette allow this wallpaper to pair effortlessly with modern rustic or contemporary organic spaces. We recommend keeping adjacent furnishings grounded and understated so the photographic composition remains the central focus.

• Pair with warm, natural timber furniture such as white oak, ash, or reclaimed wood to echo the earthy stone tones in the print.
• Choose clean-lined, matte black accents or simple dark metal light fixtures to tie in with the puffins' deep black plumage.
• Introduce textured woven textiles, such as a neutral wool rug or unbleached linen throws, to complement the visual depth of the rock layers.

Colour combinations

The core palette of this mural wallpaper centres on slate grey, charcoal, warm off-white, and earthy rock brown, punctuated by the soft orange tones on the birds' beaks. To build a balanced room scheme, we suggest painting surrounding walls in a soft warm grey, chalky white, or gentle biscuit tone to keep the room light without competing with the mural. For upholstery and larger furniture, deep charcoal, muted taupe, or dark espresso brown create a solid foundation, while subtle rust or terracotta decorative accents can softly pick up the warmth of the beak markings.
