Wallpaper - Highland Cassette

Our Highland Cassette wallpaper pairs rustic charm with playful retro graphics, designed by Yvette St. Amant. Centred on a crisp white backdrop, a shaggy Highland cow with long brown and white fur sports curved horns wrapped in bold black line work, wearing a classic black cassette tape around its neck. The graphic illustration contrasts rich earthy brown, walnut tones, and deep black detailing against an open, clean field, giving the motif an unmistakable personality. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings an engaging, light-hearted focal point to creative spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a teenage bedroom, playroom, or creative study where a conversational feature wall sets an upbeat tone. Because the subject is positioned front and centre with generous white space around it, the composition benefits from a clear, relatively uninterrupted wall. Placing it opposite the door or behind a desk or low bed allows the full silhouette of the cow and cassette graphic to stand out without competing with tall furniture.

Styling it

The graphic contrast of the motif makes it easy to integrate into both contemporary eclectic spaces and more relaxed, modern interiors. We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the central illustration take lead.

• Balance the strong black lines with clean-lined furniture in matte black metal or warm walnut wood.
• Echo the earthy tones of the fur with textured woven cushions or a simple wool throw in biscuit or charcoal grey.
• Avoid busy patterned fabrics nearby so the focal motif remains crisp and distinct.

Colour combinations

The illustration itself is grounded in earthy browns, rich walnut, deep charcoal black, and warm off-white tones against a pure white background. For surrounding painted walls, we recommend pulling from these neutrals with soft warm greys, chalky off-whites, or a deep slate grey if you want to frame the feature wall with greater contrast. To introduce a pop of colour, muted mustard yellow or warm rust accents work naturally alongside the brown tones in the fur.
