Wallpaper - Atlantic Puffin Resting

Our Atlantic Puffin Resting wallpaper brings a quiet coastal portrait to life, captured by Nathan Larson. The composition centres on an Atlantic puffin perched serenely on a rugged, rocky cliff, its distinctive black cap and bright orange and grey beak providing a sharp, warm focal point. Behind the bird, soft slate blue tones suggest the vast open sea and sky, balanced by small patches of wild grass tucked between the crags. Like all our wall murals, this design is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while creating a calm, natural atmosphere in any room.

In the room

We see this photographic wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall in a bedroom, living room, or dedicated study. Because the motif balances a detailed subject with a broad, soft blue background, it creates depth without overwhelming the surrounding space. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper along an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the crisp details of the cliff and bird to remain fully visible. In a bedroom, it works naturally behind the bedhead, where the cool coastal palette introduces a restful, grounded character. For a home office or study, the open visual horizon provides an uncluttered, peaceful backdrop behind a desk.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest taking inspiration from the natural textures and quiet tones of the coastal landscape. Organic modern furniture with clean lines helps keep the visual focus on the photograph itself.

• Pair with light or mid-tone natural woods, such as bleached oak or weathered ash, which echo the weathered appearance of coastal rocks and driftwood.
• Choose understated woven textiles, like undyed wool or simple linen cushions and throws, to complement the visual texture of the cliff and grasses without competing with the motif.
• Keep decorative accents minimal and grounded, using matte ceramics or dark metal lamp bases that pick up the deep black tones in the puffin's plumage.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper revolves around cool slate blues, misty greys, and charcoal, energised by the vivid orange accents in the puffin’s beak and feet. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and skirting, soft cool greys, slate tones, or chalky off-whites work harmoniously with the background sky and sea. If you want to introduce warmer contrast through furnishings, subtle terracotta, ochre, or burnt orange accents draw out the bird’s beak, while muted sage greens will connect naturally with the cliffside grass.
