Wallpaper - Autumn Pheasant

Our Autumn Pheasant wallpaper brings the quiet charm of natural history illustration to the wall, depicting two Kweichow pheasants perched among tall grasses and tree branches. The male bird draws the eye with its detailed plumage in rich greens, warm oranges, and deep browns, highlighted by a red eye patch and sweeping tail feathers, while the female sits close by in softer, understated beige and brown tones. Rendered in a nineteenth-century etching style by Wild Apple Portfolio, the artwork is grounded in earthy saddle brown base tones that give the scene a tranquil, heritage feel. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper murals are designed to be straightforward to hang in any home.

In the room

For us, this design feels right at home in a dedicated study, home library, or a quiet reading corner where its fine illustrative detail can be appreciated up close. We would give this mural wallpaper a main wall behind a desk or beside floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, allowing the natural composition of the birds and foliage to unfold without competing with too many tall distractions. In a study with generous daylight, the subtler tonal differences across the feathers and grassy backdrop come through clearly, while warm evening lamps bring out the deeper saddle brown base.

Styling it

The historic etching style makes this wall mural a natural fit for classic English country interiors and heritage-inspired spaces. We would pair it with warm, traditional wood furniture, such as an antique writing desk or low mahogany side tables, which reflect the earthy brown notes in the illustration. Keeping surrounding soft furnishings understated, perhaps through heavy woollen throws or simple woven cushions in muted olive or russet, helps maintain a grounded aesthetic without overwhelming the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by an earthy palette of saddle brown, warm orange, forest green, and soft feather beige, accented by the small touch of red on the pheasant. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we suggest drawing out the deeper tones with rich moss greens, warm taupes, or muted nutmeg browns. For trims and skirting boards, an off-white with warm undertones keeps the transition gentle and complements the aged paper feel of the original etching.
