Wallpaper - Big Yawn I

Our Big Yawn I wallpaper captures an expressive wildlife moment created by Max Blakesberg Studios, showing a cheetah resting among sunlit, golden grasses. The photographic composition centres on the cat mid-yawn with eyes gently closed, contrasting sharp detail in the teeth with the soft, warm tan coat and distinct black spots. Sun-bleached grasses create natural depth across the foreground and background, giving the scene an organic warmth built on caramel and earthy brown tones. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a striking focal point to any feature wall while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the scale and close framing of the subject, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a teenage room or a creative home studio, placing the wallpaper behind a low desk, bed, or seating area lets the photographic detail stay visible without being cut off by taller furniture. The warm, golden daylight in the image helps soften larger open wall spaces, making the room feel grounded and visually rich without needing pattern across all four walls.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with simple furniture shapes that do not compete with the photographic composition. Clean-lined pieces in warm timber or matte black metal pick up on the spots and natural shadows in the motif, creating an intentional, modern feel. Keeping surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in textured, plain weaves allows the expressive nature of the wallpaper to hold the main visual weight in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by natural caramel, warm tan, and sunlit ochre, balanced by deep black spots and subtle hints of dusty rose in the cat's mouth. For adjacent walls, woodwork, and large furniture, we suggest looking to warm stone, muted taupe, or soft sandy neutrals that echo the dry grass tones. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal or rich espresso brown can draw out the darker details of the coat without clashing with the golden base tones.
