Wallpaper - Forest Owls I

Three finely illustrated owls perch along a pine branch in this vintage-inspired natural history composition from the Wild Apple Portfolio. Set against a warm, calm beige background, the trio includes a grey owl gazing from the upper boughs, a rich reddish-brown owl nestled in the centre, and a pale spotted owl settled below, each defined by striking orange eyes and delicate feather etching. Pinecones and soft green needles frame the birds, giving our wallpaper a balanced, narrative presence with an authentic nineteenth-century botanical feel. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings quiet character to the room.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a study, home library, or living room where you want an accent wall with narrative detail. Because the vertical arrangement of the branch and birds carries substantial visual interest, we would give the mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall section, perhaps behind a desk, a reading chair, or between built-in bookshelves. The muted beige backdrop prevents the detailed etching from feeling overwhelming, allowing the motif to sit naturally in spaces with classic proportions or period features. In rooms with gentle daylight or warm evening lamps, the earthy brown tones and vivid orange accents in the eyes stand out with subtle clarity.

Styling it

• Complement the nineteenth-century illustration style with dark or warm wood furniture, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or stained oak cabinetry.
• Introduce classic upholstery in forest green, rust, or saddle brown velvet or woven wool to echo the tones found in the branch and plumage.
• Keep wall mouldings and adjacent woodwork in soft heritage neutrals like warm stone, muted cream, or off-white rather than stark bright white.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws upon an earthy palette of saddle brown, warm beige, forest green, soft grey, and vivid orange in the owls' eyes. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle parchment tones, muted putty, or antique off-white to maintain a calm, continuous backdrop. If you prefer a richer, more enclosed atmosphere, pairing the mural with deep moss green or rich tobacco brown on neighbouring walls or built-in joinery grounds the illustration handsomely.
