Wallpaper - Forest Owls II

Our Forest Owls II wallpaper features a detailed nineteenth-century style natural history illustration of a Great Cinereous Owl perched quietly on a weathered branch. Rendered with fine etching-like linework, the bird displays intricate brown, umber, and grey plumage, accented by bright yellow eyes and subtle plate notations that give it the character of an archival folio print. The warm, pale beige background creates a soft, open field around the central motif, allowing the detailed drawing to stand out clearly. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point in a study, library, living room, or along a hallway staircase. Because the motif is arranged with generous negative space around the owl, it functions beautifully on an accent wall where the full height and detail of the illustration can be appreciated without feeling crowded. In a study or home library, placing the design on a wall behind a desk or between low shelving keeps the intricate plumage visible while creating a calm, collected atmosphere.

Styling it

The heritage character of the artwork pairs naturally with classic and English country interiors. We would combine it with warm, mid-to-dark wood furniture such as walnut or aged oak, which echoes the earthy umber tones in the feathers and branch. Keeping surrounding upholstery and textiles in understated weaves like heavy linen or wool creates a balanced setting that allows the detailed print to remain the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on an earthy palette of deep umber, warm grey, soft charcoal, and pale parchment beige, with a sharp accent of yellow in the owl's eyes. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend drawing from the neutral background with soft creams, warm stone, or muted taupe. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or library, deep forest green or muted charcoal on the skirting and architraves creates an elegant framing effect around the mural.
