Wallpaper - Gull

Our Gull wallpaper captures a single bird poised quietly on a weathered surface in a striking black and white photograph by Micael Widell. Light, snowy tones form a clean, uncluttered background, allowing the gentle balance between the gull's pale belly and darker wings to take centre stage. The smooth curves of the bird sit in graphic contrast with the chipped, textured surface beneath its feet, creating an image that feels both photographic and sculptural. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper murals, our wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

In a home office or study, we like how this photographic wall mural provides a quiet, uncluttered visual focus without distracting from everyday work. Because the composition relies on generous negative space and a clean white background, the design works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall behind a desk or alongside a reading area in a home library. The open composition prevents the room from feeling closed in, making it an excellent choice for dedicated work spaces where you want an artistic focal point that remains restrained and calming.

Styling it

We would pair this monochrome design with clean-lined, contemporary furniture that echoes its minimalist aesthetic. A desk in light, natural timber or painted neutral finishes keeps the surrounding space feeling open, while matte black accents or architectural task lighting can pick up on the darker tones within the gull's wings and beak. Keeping surrounding decorative objects minimal allows the photograph's crisp composition and natural texture to stand out as the primary visual feature in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by pure white, soft snow tones, and deep charcoal and black values. When choosing surrounding wall colours or woodwork, crisp off-whites, chalky pale greys, or muted stone shades work naturally alongside the light background. For adjacent walls or cabinetry, deeper charcoal or slate tones can provide a sophisticated, high-contrast frame that highlights the photographic quality of the mural wallpapers.
