Wallpaper - Chicken in the Sun II Sepia

Our Chicken in the Sun II Sepia wallpaper brings a photographic close-up of a rooster into the home through rich sepia tones, earthy browns, and warm umber shades. Captured by Nathan Larson, the composition focuses closely on the fine detail of the eye, comb, and textured wattle, balanced by a softly blurred background that gives the portrait exceptional visual depth. The monochrome sepia treatment lends a rustic, vintage character with roots in 20th-century Americana. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a kitchen or breakfast area, we see this design working particularly well as an expressive accent wall where the portrait can sit at eye level. Because the composition is a bold close-up with strong contrast between the sharp facial features and the soft background, it benefits from a wall where the main subject remains clear rather than hidden behind high cabinetry or tall shelving. On an uninterrupted wall near a dining nook or open preparation area, the warm tonal range provides an inviting, rustic presence without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The distinct photographic style and rural subject matter connect naturally with traditional and country-inspired spaces. We would pair our wallpaper with warm timber elements, such as reclaimed pine or rustic oak furniture, which echo the natural brown and umber tones of the print. To keep the focus on the detailed portrait, surrounding decorative pieces should remain relatively simple. Matte ceramics, iron hardware, and understated kitchenware will balance the visual weight of the animal motif nicely without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored in earthy browns, deep umber, and soft sepia highlights. To complement these shades, we suggest using warm off-whites, parchment, or creamy stone on adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce a touch more depth, muted earthy greens or soft warm greys work in harmony with the sepia tones while preserving the vintage mood of the room.
