Wallpaper - Early Summer Buck

Our Early Summer Buck wallpaper mural, created by Nathan Larson, captures a calm wildlife scene featuring a young buck resting among textured grasses and shrubs. Rendered in a monochrome, sepia-toned photographic style with subtle vintage distressing, the design brings depth and quiet character to an interior wall. The central placement of the deer creates an immediate visual anchor, while the layered foliage and soft grain introduce gentle visual movement across the mural. Made to measure to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that enhances the photographic composition.

In the room

Because of the strong central focus and natural horizontal balance of the landscape, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing it behind a low-profile sofa, sideboard, or desk allows the buck to remain fully visible above the furniture line. The muted monochrome palette also makes it a compelling choice for a bedroom behind a headboard, where a restful, nature-inspired scene feels right at home.

The soft tonal gradations work comfortably in both bright, sunlit rooms and spaces with lower, moody evening lighting. In daylight, the finer details of the grass and shrubbery stand out clearly, while softer lamps in the evening highlight the vintage photograph look and deep, grounding shadows.

Styling it

To complement the photographic character and vintage mood of this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furnishings and understated materials that do not compete with the scenery.

Natural wood tones such as warm walnut, smoked oak, or reclaimed timber harmonise effortlessly with the sepia and charcoal tones in the image. For surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings, tactile fabrics in undyed linen, charcoal wool, or muted oatmeal keep the focus on the wall while adding comfortable physical texture to the room. Restrained metal details, such as blackened steel or aged bronze light fixtures, reinforce the vintage nature-study aesthetic without feeling overly decorative.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on deep charcoal, sepia-tinted grey, warm stone, and soft off-white.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and trim, we like pairing this mural with soft chalky neutrals or warm stone greys to create a cohesive, seamless backdrop. If you prefer more definition, rich charcoal or deep earthy slate on neighbouring woodwork or shelving echoes the darkest tones in the deer’s coat and the background brush. Alternatively, gentle warm whites on the ceiling and surrounding walls will keep the room feeling open and let the mural wallpaper stand out as the primary focal point.
