Wallpaper - Goldfinch

Our Goldfinch wallpaper brings together classic natural illustration and vintage collage elements, created in collaboration with designer Deborah Revell. The design features a colourful goldfinch perched among fine branches and soft foliage, set against an earthy, weathered paper backdrop detailed with subtle handwritten script and antique postmarks. We particularly like how the warm yellows of the bird introduce a lively focal point without disrupting the muted, heritage feel of the overall composition. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this piece adds timeless character to any wall.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in a dining room, living room, or study, where its detailed narrative quality can be appreciated up close. Because the collage elements and delicate script reward closer viewing, it suits an accent wall behind a reading chair, a bed, or along an entryway where guests can take in the details. In a home office or library, the 19th-century aesthetic creates a calm, contemplative atmosphere across a main wall. For smaller spaces like a guest bathroom or powder room, wallpapering multiple walls can create a charming, immersive interior that feels like a historic cabinet of curiosities.

Styling it

To complement the English country and heritage feel of our design, we suggest pairing it with furniture that shares a sense of craft and history.

• Pair with warm, dark or mid-toned woods like antique walnut, aged oak, or painted cabinetry to ground the botanical motif.
• Introduce classic brass or antique bronze hardware and lighting fixtures that pick up the warm, aged undertones of the paper background.
• Use upholstery and soft furnishings in textured natural weaves or muted wools, keeping larger pieces in solid tones so the wall mural remains the visual centrepiece.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres around earthy parchment tones, sage greens, and soft botanical browns, accented by the goldfinch's yellow and red markings. When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or trim, consider soft sage greens to draw out the delicate foliage, or muted warm stone and off-white shades that echo the vintage paper ground. Deeper forest greens or rich muted browns on doors and baseboards will frame the mural wallpapers distinctly and add architectural definition to the space.
