Wallpaper - Birds Flying High, Gray

Our Birds Flying High, Gray wallpaper, created by Lisa Wirenfelt, brings an airy, playful rhythm to the wall through stylized birds painted in scattered flight. Set against a light neutral backdrop, the simplified bird figures feature white bodies, dark spotted markings, and warm orange beaks that add small points of graphic focus. The painted, oil-drawing character gives the forms a soft visual texture, while the open composition keeps the overall repeat feeling calm rather than crowded. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like how this wallpaper introduces gentle movement into dedicated children's spaces without overwhelming the surroundings. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, the soft background maintains an open, quiet atmosphere, while the floating birds give little eyes engaging details to follow. Because the pattern is nicely spaced and has a light overall ground, we also see it working exceptionally well across all four walls of a playroom, wrapping the space in a cheerful, storybook mood without feeling busy. It performs equally well on a main feature wall behind a low cot, bed, or play table, where the full spread of birds has space to unfold naturally.

Styling it

The Scandinavian simplicity of Lisa Wirenfelt's painted birds makes this wallpaper wonderfully easy to style alongside understated, practical furniture. We suggest leaning into natural light woods, such as birch or light ash, for cots, low storage units, and display shelves to mirror the airy, Scandinavian character of the artwork.

To complement the design's playful nature, you can echo the small orange accents through muted terracotta, rust, or ochre soft toys, cushions, and simple cotton blankets. Keeping larger elements like floor rugs and curtains in simple, neutral woven textures ensures the graphic charm of the birds remains the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette centres on a soft, light beige ground paired with white, dark spotted details, and bright pops of orange on the beaks. When choosing surrounding colours for woodwork, bordering walls, or built-in joinery, we suggest working with soft warm whites or sandy stone tones that flow naturally from the paper's base. For accents, deep navy and slate blue work nicely to anchor the darker details in the birds, while soft apricot, ochre, or gentle terracotta pick up the warm notes of the beaks in a subtle, balanced way.
