Wallpaper - Chicken in the Sun II Sepia

Our Chicken in the Sun II Sepia wallpaper captures a close-up portrait of a rooster in warm, tonal sepia photography. Created by Nathan Larson, this photographic design highlights the fine textural details of the bird's comb, eye, and plumage against a softly blurred background, creating an intimate and rustic visual focus. The palette works entirely in earthy brown, umber, and warm golden-grey tones, giving the motif an authentic country character that feels both historic and grounded. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an expressive, large-scale photographic subject, we think this design works best on a wall where the rooster's profile can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. In a kitchen or open dining area, placing this wall mural behind a low dining table or along a dedicated accent wall gives the portrait room to hold attention. The warm sepia monochrome means the wallpaper does not overwhelm smaller spaces, but the scale of the photography makes it particularly striking when given generous breathing room.

Styling it

The vintage character and earthy umber tones of this wallpaper naturally suit traditional, rustic, and Americana-inspired interior schemes. We suggest pairing it with weathered or warm-toned timber furniture, such as pine or antique oak, which echoes the organic warmth of the print. To balance the detailed photography, keep surrounding surfaces relatively simple with unadorned stoneware, classic matte ceramics, or subtle bronze and aged-brass hardware.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is defined by a deep range of sepia, warm umber, and soft earthy browns. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend working with warm off-whites, creamy linen tones, or soft beige to keep the room bright while maintaining harmony with the sepia gradient. Deeper tones like charcoal brown, rich chestnut, or muted olive green can also be used on architectural trim or lower cabinets to ground the space and pull out the darker shadows within the photographic plumage.
