Wallpaper - Folk Animals III

Our Folk Animals III wallpaper, designed by Omar Escalante, brings a vibrant folk-art sensibility to the wall with a bold central cockerel illustration framed by decorative borders, leafy vines, stylized flowers, and a radiating sun. Set against a rich terracotta-orange ground, the dark silhouette of the bird is detailed with rhythmic feather markings, complemented by sage-green zig-zag framing and striped outer banding. It is a wonderfully graphic wall mural that balances expressive folklore motifs with clear compositional structure. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the strong central motif and decorative frame, we see this design working exceptionally well as a focal point. In a dining room, kitchen, or breakfast nook, it anchors the space with warmth and character. Placing it on a main wall behind a dining table or along an open dining area lets the full illustration be appreciated without visual interruptions.

In a hallway or entryway, the warm terracotta background and lively framing create an immediate, welcoming impression. If you are decorating a living room or a study, we would give this wallpaper a dedicated accent wall, allowing the central composition and playful folk details to set the tone for the entire room.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest leaning into simple shapes and warm, natural materials that complement its rustic, artisanal look.

• Darker wood or warm timber furniture pairs naturally with the deep tones of the cockerel and the rich terracotta background, grounding the space without competing for attention.
• Clean-lined painted furniture in muted off-white, olive, or soft charcoal balances the decorative border and lets the artwork stand out cleanly.
• Woven textures such as jute rugs or linen seat cushions echo the handcrafted feel of the folk illustration while keeping the surrounding decor relaxed.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a warm palette of rich terracotta orange, deep charcoal black, soft sage green, pale cream, and sunny yellow.

To create a cohesive interior, you can pull the muted sage green or creamy off-white from the border onto adjoining painted walls, woodwork, or cabinetry. For a bolder, enveloping look, deep charcoal or warm earth tones on trim and doors echo the central figure and amplify the warmth of the orange backdrop.
