Wallpaper - Hawkish

Our Hawkish wallpaper brings a striking wildlife portrait to the wall, captured in crisp photographic detail by Nathan Larson. The composition focuses intimately on the profile of a hawk, highlighting the layered brown and walnut tones of its plumage, the sharp curve of its dark beak, and the steady focus of its eye against a soft, neutral, out-of-focus background. By balancing fine feather details with expansive, quiet negative space, this wall mural introduces visual depth and a commanding presence without overwhelming the room. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold, large-scale subject and off-centre profile, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a study, home library, or living room. Giving the wall mural an uninterrupted wall allows the hawk's profile and the gentle gradient behind it to unfold naturally. In a study or home library, placing the mural behind a desk or reading chair grounds the space with a calm, focused atmosphere. For a living room, positioning it along a main feature wall behind a low-profile sofa lets the intricate feather textures remain fully visible while the blurred backdrop keeps the room feeling open.

Styling it

When styling around such a detailed wildlife photograph, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean and understated so the wallpaper remains the focal point.

• Pair the earthy tones of the print with warm, natural wood furniture, such as walnut or deep oak, to reflect the rich browns in the bird's plumage.
• Keep upholstered pieces in neutral, woven fabrics like charcoal, warm taupe, or deep sand to complement the soft background without competing with the detailed subject.
• Introduce minimalist lighting or clean-lined metal elements in matte black or dark bronze to echo the sharp definition of the beak and eye.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Hawkish wallpaper is built around rich walnut browns, warm earthy undertones, and soft creamy neutrals, contrasted by crisp slate and black accents in the beak and eye. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend muted, earthy tones such as warm grey, soft taupe, or a quiet beige that match the soft background tones in the image. If you prefer more contrast, deep charcoal or espresso brown on surrounding architectural details or cabinetry creates a grounded, sophisticated setting.
