Wallpaper - Atlantic Puffin

Photographed by Nathan Larson, our Atlantic Puffin wallpaper captures a striking seabird resting calmly on a rugged coastal rock. The composition pairs crisp black and white plumage against a deep slate blue background, brought to life by the vivid orange and yellow details of its iconic beak and bright feet. With fine feather textures and clean contrast, this photographic design brings natural character and a quiet coastal presence to interior walls. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the photographic scale and the bold presence of the puffin, we think this design works particularly well as a focal point on an uninterrupted wall. In a living room, bedroom, or home office, placing the motif where it can be seen across the space allows the deep slate backdrop and clear wildlife photography to set the mood without competing with cluttered wall art.

In a study, library, or reading corner, the deep blue backdrop creates a grounded, peaceful feel. We would suggest giving the wallpaper space alongside lower furniture, such as a low bookcase, desk, or sofa back, so the full form of the bird remains prominent and unobstructed.

Styling it

To complement the rich coastal palette and organic subject, we suggest pairing this design with simple, grounded furnishings. Lighter wood tones or muted painted surfaces help balance the deep slate background while keeping the room feeling open.

For textiles and surrounding accents, drawing on the vibrant beak creates a cohesive accent scheme. A touch of rust, burnt orange, or warm ochre in cushions or throws echoes the natural markings without overwhelming the scene. Keep larger surfaces quiet with textured neutral fabrics in off-white or soft grey to let the photographic mural remain the centrepiece.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by the deep slate blue background and the puffin’s crisp black and white plumage, punctuated by bright coral orange, yellow, and red eye markings.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend:

• Deep navy, slate, or charcoal to extend the atmospheric depth of the background across adjacent walls or built-in joinery.
• Crisp chalk white or soft off-white to mirror the bright breast feathers and keep trims feeling clean and tailored.
• Muted terracotta, ochre, or rust accents to pick up the warm tones of the beak and feet in smaller furnishings.
