Wallpaper - Gull

Our Gull wallpaper captures a solitary bird resting on a weathered, chipped surface in striking black and white photography by Micael Widell. The smooth, rounded form of the gull, with its lighter underbelly and darker wings, stands out against a bright, clean background, creating a high-contrast yet quiet composition. The weathered texture below the bird balances the soft detail of the feathers, giving the motif an understated graphic quality. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a home office, study, or home library where its tranquil, monochromatic character creates a calm focal point. Because the composition relies on open, uncluttered white space around the subject, it gives smaller or mid-sized rooms a visual breather without overwhelming the space. On an uninterrupted feature wall, whether positioned behind a desk or beside a quiet reading corner, the scale of the photograph allows the fine textures of the weathered surface and the sharp profile of the bird to anchor the room naturally.

Styling it

The clean lines and high contrast of this piece make it an excellent fit for minimalist and contemporary interiors. To maintain its serene aesthetic, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has simple silhouettes and quiet profiles. A desk or shelving unit in warm wood tones, such as ash or pale oak, introduces natural warmth that softens the stark black and white palette. Sleek matte black or charcoal accents, like a low-profile reading lamp or minimal metal framing, will subtly echo the deep tones in the bird's wings.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by a clean, monochromatic palette of bright snow white, soft greys, and deep charcoal black. To complement the motif, you can keep surrounding walls in crisp off-white or light stone tones to let the white negative space blend quietly into the room. For a moodier, more grounded contrast on adjacent walls or trim, deeper graphite, charcoal, or cool slate greys will pick up on the darker tones in the wings and the weathered ground.
