Wallpaper - Black Bird With A Berry

Our Black Bird With A Berry wallpaper brings an expressive wildlife portrait to the wall, illustrated by Kate Jarvik Birch. A close-up blackbird with layered plumage in deep midnight tones and rich blue highlights rests against a calm, painted teal backdrop. Its vibrant yellow-rimmed eye and warm orange beak, holding a glossy red berry, create an immediate focal point full of character. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while creating a bold statement in your room.

In the room

Because the motif is a large-scale portrait with strong visual presence, we love using this design on a main feature wall where the composition has room to breathe. In a living room or a dining room, it anchors the space with a sense of quiet observation. It works equally well in a study, home library, or hallway staircase, where the close perspective and deep tones draw you in without overwhelming the space. We suggest placing it on a wall that is relatively clear of tall cupboards or bulky storage units so the bird's expressive profile and rich teal background remain unobstructed.

Styling it

To let the artwork stand out, we like keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Mid-toned or dark woods such as walnut or stained oak echo the heritage feel of traditional wildlife illustration and balance the deep tones of the feathers. You could also introduce accents in aged brass or antique bronze, which subtly reflect the golden yellow ring around the bird's eye. Soft furnishings in understated textures allow the painted character of the wallpaper to remain the primary visual texture in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in deep teal, midnight black, and cool blue, punctuated by the bright warmth of the orange beak, yellow eye, and red berry. For neighbouring painted walls and woodwork, muted teal or deep slate blue creates a cocooning, tonal look. If you prefer more contrast, soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale linen tones provide a clean border that highlights the saturated colours of the mural. Small decorative accents in terracotta, mustard, or deep berry red will subtly tie back to the focal details of the painting.
