Wallpaper - Birds Flying High, Hay

Designed by Lisa Wirenfelt, our Birds Flying High, Hay wallpaper pairs whimsical, abstract birds with an earthy oat and muted light green backdrop. The cream-toned bird silhouettes, detailed with simple black spots and warm orange beaks, drift in varied directions across the wall to create a gentle sense of movement and playful rhythm. With its painted, graphic feel and soft edges, this mural wallpaper brings a lighthearted charm to shared spaces while keeping the overall palette grounded. Like all Wallism 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 love seeing this design in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, where the cheerful motif naturally sparks imagination without overwhelming the space. Because the birds are spaced with plenty of breathing room against the muted background, the pattern works wonderfully across all four walls of a smaller room or as a focused accent wall behind a cot or low reading bench. The soft, warm undertones keep the visual atmosphere calm and inviting, making it equally suited to quiet bedroom corners and lively daytime play areas.

Styling it

The naive, painterly shapes and Scandinavian sensibility of this wallpaper make it effortless to style alongside simple, modern furniture. We suggest pairing it with clean-lined pieces in light birch, ash, or painted off-white finishes to let the illustration stand out. For soft furnishings, warm neutrals like unbleached canvas, soft waffle cotton, and accents that echo the birds' small orange beaks bring the room together without competing with the wall art. Keeping storage and shelving low ensures the soaring bird motifs remain visible and create an airy, open feel throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around soft oat yellow, muted green, and cream, accented by small touches of graphic black and warm orange. For adjacent painted walls, doors, and trim, we recommend soft off-whites, pale warm linen tones, or an earthy oat that mirrors the background of the wallpaper. If you want to introduce contrasting accents in cushions, rugs, or lamps, soft ochre, warm terracotta, and gentle clay tones highlight the small orange details beautifully while preserving a warm, cohesive look.
