Wallpaper - Wild Wings

Our Wild Wings wallpaper, created by artist Julia Purinton, captures three wild ducks in flight above a tranquil marshland. Painted in an oil-painting style reminiscent of traditional 19th-century Americana, the composition balances the movement of the birds against a soft sky and swaying golden-brown marsh grasses below. Deep green heads and blue wing accents introduce subtle colour interest amidst the rich, earthy brown tones of the reeds. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings a grounded, classic atmosphere to a feature wall or full room.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room, home library, or cosy study where the scenic landscape can set an inviting, grounded tone. Because the artwork features a natural vertical division between the golden reeds below and the open sky above, it creates a wonderful sense of depth across a main wall behind a sofa or reading chairs. In larger rooms, installing our wall murals across a wider, uninterrupted surface allows the full breadth of the marsh and the sweeping arc of the ducks to unfold naturally. For a quieter corner or smaller library, the warm landscape motif adds visual interest without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

The traditional character and painterly brushwork of this wallpaper pair naturally with classic and heritage-led interiors.

• Combine with warm, mid-to-dark wood furniture such as walnut, aged oak, or vintage mahogany to complement the earthy tones in the marshland.
• Introduce tactile upholstery like worn leather, brushed wool, or muted velvet in seating to echo the rustic, traditional feel of the scene.
• Keep nearby decorative accents restrained, favouring antique brass or muted bronze hardware that harmonises with the golden-brown reeds.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres around rich saddle brown, golden ochre, and warm earth tones in the marsh grasses, balanced by soft muted blues and off-whites in the sky, alongside deep green and blue accents on the ducks. When selecting surrounding wall paint, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted beige tones work seamlessly on adjacent walls. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or library, deep forest green or muted slate blue painted on surrounding trim, panelling, or shelving beautifully draws out the subtle plumage details in the motif.
