Wallpaper - Ungulate Illustrated

Our Ungulate Illustrated wallpaper brings the quiet precision of nineteenth-century zoological etching into the home. Created in collaboration with Wild Apple Portfolio, the design centres on a detailed anatomical study of an Anoplotherium, an extinct prehistoric mammal. Fine line work traces the complete skeletal structure in side profile, accompanied by smaller technical drawings of tooth formations and a subtle silhouette outline. Rendered in warm sienna brown and soft grey over a calm neutral ground, this mural wallpaper offers an intellectual, archive-inspired character that works beautifully on a dedicated feature wall. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and entirely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper surface.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces dedicated to reading, quiet focus, or creative work. In a home study, library, or art studio, the anatomical motif introduces an educational, natural history character without overwhelming the room. Because the central skeletal study and supporting diagrams carry fine details and a clear focal point, we recommend placing this wallpaper on a relatively uninterrupted wall where the complete composition can be appreciated from eye level.

The light neutral background keeps the overall visual weight balanced, making our wallpaper equally suited to compact studies and larger rooms with high ceilings. If you are styling a reading nook or a desk space, positioning the mural behind low shelving or a freestanding writing desk allows the upper skeletal line work and text annotations to remain fully visible.

Styling it

To complement the vintage scientific etching style, we like pairing this wallpaper with heritage and mid-century modern interior elements.

Darker wood furniture, such as walnut or aged oak, echoes the warm sienna tones of the illustration and anchors the room. Classic brass or patinated metal hardware on cabinetry or floor lamps brings out the archive feel of the print. When choosing textiles, we recommend keeping upholstery and curtains simple and unpatterned, allowing the intricate linework of the mural to remain the focal point.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper is built around earthy sienna brown, soft charcoal grey, and a warm, pale neutral background.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, muted stone, warm parchment, or off-white shades create a seamless continuation of the light ground. For a moodier, library-style interior, deep espresso brown, rich taupe, or dark charcoal on surrounding skirting boards and doors create a striking frame around the illustrated panel.
