Wallpaper - Life at Home I on Burlap

Our Life at Home I on Burlap wallpaper by Avery Tillmon centres on a detailed pencil sketch of a rooster set against a warm, burlap-inspired beige backdrop. What we particularly appreciate about this composition is the balance between the graphite linework and the softer, faint outlines of a barn and tractor in the background. The earthy yellow and beige tones give the artwork a rustic, nineteenth-century character while keeping the visual contrast soft and inviting across an interior wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a grounded, illustrative presence to any room.

In the room

In a country kitchen or an open dining room, this wallpaper creates a natural focal point behind a dining table or along a breakfast nook wall. We like giving the central rooster motif enough breathing room on an uninterrupted wall, allowing the fine line drawings and background details to remain fully visible rather than tucked behind tall cupboards. In a cosy living room or a dedicated pantry, the gentle contrast sits comfortably across an accent wall, lending warmth to the space without overwhelming surrounding architectural features.

Styling it

To complement the traditional farmhouse aesthetic, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with warm, natural timber furniture such as rustic pine or honey-toned oak. Simple ceramics, matte pottery, and soft, unbleached cotton textiles mirror the visual texture of the burlap print without competing with the pencil linework. Keeping larger furniture pieces relatively understated in profile allows the illustrative quality of the wall murals to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper relies on earthy beige, warm muted yellow undertones, and soft charcoal graphite lines. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we recommend working with creamy off-whites, soft biscuit tones, or gentle linen hues that draw directly from the background canvas. If you want to introduce deeper contrast in surrounding decor, muted olive greens or slate greys echo the rustic heritage of the sketch beautifully.
