Wallpaper - Hen Party

Our Hen Party wallpaper brings a distinctive piece of nineteenth-century botanical and zoological illustration onto the wall. Created in collaboration with Wild Apple Portfolio, the design showcases an intricately detailed etching of a rooster and hen, specifically golden Wyandottes, complete with delicate cross-hatching, plumage texturing, and antique French editorial typography framing the plate. The monochrome palette of soft smoke gray, charcoal, and warm antique paper gives this etching-style motif a classic, collected feel. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers a graphic yet heritage-rich focal point for traditional and country-inspired spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room or an open kitchen where its historic character can anchor the space. Because the artwork is composed as a framed central plate, it functions wonderfully as a feature wall behind a rustic dining table or along a breakfast nook. The detailed linework draws the eye close up, while the graphic contrast of the dark birds against the light background ensures the motif reads clearly from across the room.

Styling it

To complement the heritage look of our design, we would lean toward classic English country or French bistro influences.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm, unlacquered wood surfaces such as a scrubbed pine dining table or aged oak cabinetry.
• Keep surrounding architectural elements, like wainscoting, picture rails, or paneling, simple in profile to balance the dense cross-hatching of the print.
• Accent with blackened iron hardware or vintage brass fixtures that echo the historic printmaking aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The motif itself relies on charcoal, smoke gray, and an earthy off-white paper base. Around it, we suggest working with soft neutral paints like warm parchment, muted putty, or chalky off-white on adjacent walls and trim. For deeper contrast, dark graphite or muted olive green on lower wall paneling or kitchen cabinets will ground the etching beautifully.
