Wallpaper - Empty Nest

Created by Deborah Revell, our Empty Nest wallpaper captures the quiet detail of a bird's nest woven from twigs, moss, and dry grasses, positioned against an open white backdrop. Resting inside the nest, a spotted feather introduces fine graphic contrast with its white dots and soft grey tones against the earthy saddle browns and warm beiges. The asymmetrical composition leaves generous negative space across the left of the scene, creating a calm, uncluttered presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free material, this design brings an organic, photographic stillness to modern and minimalist interiors.

In the room

Because of the off-centre composition, we see this design working exceptionally well on an accent wall in a bedroom, nursery, or quiet home study. The generous white space gives furniture room to breathe without competing with the detailed subject, making it especially effective behind a low bedhead or a clean-lined desk. In a living room or entryway, our wall murals bring a sense of natural pause, grounding the room through earthy tones while keeping the overall atmosphere bright and airy.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with interiors that value simplicity and natural textures, such as modern rustic or wabi-sabi aesthetics. Low-profile furniture in light wood or soft painted finishes helps maintain the visual balance established by the open composition. Surrounding the wall with tactile, unbleached linen or woven wool accents complements the organic detail of the nest without introducing visual clutter.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on earthy saddle browns, soft straw beiges, and muted greys, balanced by crisp white. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, warm off-whites, pale stone, or soft greige create a seamless transition that extends the spacious feel of the background. For deeper accent notes, consider pulling out the warm brown or slate grey tones in occasional furniture, ceramics, or textiles.
