Wallpaper - Preparing II

Our Preparing II wallpaper captures a close-up photographic study of a bird's nest, showcasing the intricate weave of curved twigs, delicate stems, and dried grass. Created by photographer Nathan Larson, the composition balances sharp, fibrous foreground detail against a softly blurred background, creating an earthy and sculptural presence on the wall. Rendered in a monochrome palette with subtle hints of warm brown and ecru undertones, this design celebrates raw organic form in a refined, understated way. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering a calm and grounded backdrop for modern interiors.

In the room

In a living room or bedroom, we like positioning this design on a main feature wall where the fine photographic detail has space to be appreciated up close. The close crop and natural curving lines give the mural a strong focal presence, making it especially effective behind a low headboard or a streamlined sofa where the upper structure remains open to view. It also works beautifully in a study, home office, or quiet meditation room, where the earthy composition and restrained contrast establish a steady, contemplative atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

Because the nest composition carries significant visual detail, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings understated and grounded. Simple low-profile furniture in natural finishes complements the organic nature of the photograph without competing for attention.

• Pair with unvarnished, matte wood furniture such as light ash, bleached oak, or reclaimed timber to echo the fibrous textures of the woven twigs.
• Choose natural, woven textiles like unbleached linen, wool throws, or raw cotton upholstery in neutral shades to maintain an organic, wabi-sabi aesthetic.
• Keep wall decor and surrounding accessories minimal, allowing the photographic scale and natural geometry of the wallpaper to serve as the room's central art piece.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself sits within a refined palette of deep charcoal, soft graphite, pale ecru, and muted, earthy brown undertones. To build a cohesive room scheme around it, we recommend drawing on surrounding surfaces in warm plaster, chalky off-white, or pale stone to keep the space feeling open and balanced. For a richer, more enveloping feel on adjacent painted walls or cabinetry, deeper shades like warm charcoal, deep peat, or muted umber work exceptionally well alongside the darker shadows of the weave.
