Wallpaper - Pelican Posture

Designed by Gia Graham, our Pelican Posture wallpaper brings together graphic botanical illustration and whimsical bird art. The composition centres on an illustrated toucan perched amongst lush emerald and sage foliage, accented by soft white and pink tropical blooms against a lightly textured sage background. The clean, flat shapes are complemented by delicate line detailing within the leaves and feathers, giving the motif an artistic, collage-inspired character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a charming focal point in bedrooms, playrooms, and living spaces.

In the room

Because this design features a clear central illustrative vignette, we find it works particularly well as a focal feature wall. In a child's bedroom, nursery, or playroom, placing the motif behind a bed or low reading nook lets the playful character of the bird anchor the space without overwhelming the room. In a living room, home office, or powder room, giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the balance of foliage and open background to stand out clearly.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with light, natural finishes that complement its graphic, botanical look. Pale timber furniture, such as light oak or birch, keeps the overall scheme fresh and airy while echoing the organic theme of the illustration. For surrounding textiles and decorative objects, we like choosing simple, unpatterned pieces with tactile woven textures to let the clean lines and detailed botanicals on the wall remain the centre of attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette combines rich emerald and deep teal-greens with soft sage, crisp white, and delicate coral-pink accents on the bill and petals. Around the design, we suggest picking up the gentle sage background tone on adjacent painted walls for a cohesive, wrapped feel. Alternatively, crisp warm white or soft cream trims provide a clean contrast that highlights the deep green tones in the leaves. Small decorative accents in dusty pink or terracotta also tie in naturally with the floral details.
