Wallpaper - Birds Flying South

In our Birds Flying South wallpaper, photographic clarity meets a quiet, spacious composition. Created by Deborah Revell, this design captures a flock of birds moving across an expansive, pale, sunlit sky, grounded by slender stalks of green and beige grass swaying below. We particularly like how the open upper half gives the impression of breathing room, while the fine coastal seed heads introduce gentle detail along the base of the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the visual weight of the motif sits low while the sky opens upward, we see this wall mural working especially well across an uninterrupted wall in a bedroom or living room. Behind a low headboard or a sleek sofa, the tall grasses frame the lower wall naturally, leaving the birds to drift across the open upper surface without fighting for attention. In a meditation room or quiet study area, the soft contrast and airy palette provide visual interest without feeling busy or enclosed.

Styling it

We would take inspiration from Scandinavian or contemporary minimalist spaces when decorating around this design. Lower furniture profiles work nicely to keep the full sweep of the grass stems in view. Soft, textured upholstery and warm, unpainted wood pieces help echo the natural tone of the seed heads, while clean architectural lines preserve the open, uncluttered mood established by the mural wallpapers.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on a gentle palette of pale sky tones, seafoam green, soft grass greens, and warm neutral beiges. Around the room, we would pair this design with chalky off-whites or pale stone hues on adjacent walls to extend the bright, airy feeling of the sky. Muted sage, soft sand, and natural oatmeal tones in larger textiles will harmonise easily with the grasses, grounding the room without introducing jarring visual contrast.
