Wallpaper - Summer Chickens II

Our Summer Chickens II wallpaper brings together fine illustrative detail and classic French country character, created in collaboration with artist Danhui Nai. A finely drawn chicken stands in profile at the centre of the composition, framed above and below by delicate navy blue botanical motifs reminiscent of traditional toile de Jouy patterns. Rendered in deep ink-blue tones against a soft, warm neutral ground, the monochrome artwork captures plumage textures with quiet precision. Like all our wall murals, it is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We especially like this design in spaces where traditional charm feels right at home, particularly in a dining room or a country-style kitchen. Because the motif is arranged with a central focal element and graceful framing florals, it works beautifully on a featured wall where the full panel can be viewed without heavy interruption.

In an open-plan kitchen and dining area, placing this wallpaper alongside a dining table or behind a dresser allows the fine line work to be appreciated up close. The clean contrast between the navy ink and the neutral backdrop gives the design plenty of presence while maintaining an airy, uncluttered feel across the wall.

Styling it

To complement the French country character of this design, we would pair it with classic, natural materials that let the artwork take centre stage.

• Furniture in warm natural timber or soft painted finishes, such as off-white or muted grey, sits naturally alongside the vintage ink illustration.
• Simple ceramic tableware and antique ironstone accents echo the traditional French countryside aesthetic without competing for visual attention.
• Aged brass or blackened iron hardware provides a grounding metallic contrast that ties in with the deep navy ink tones.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself relies on a restrained palette of deep navy blue and a soft, warm neutral base. This two-tone harmony makes it exceptionally easy to integrate into existing interiors.

For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams, or pale linen tones will keep the room light and cohesive. If you prefer a richer look, painting adjacent cabinetry, skirting, or doors in a coordinating deep navy blue creates a handsome, tailored backdrop that anchors the entire room.
