Wallpaper - Birds Flying High, Hay

Our Birds Flying High, Hay wallpaper brings a sense of cheerful, fluid motion to the wall through whimsical abstract birds set against a soft, light green backdrop. Designed by Lisa Wirenfelt, the motif features cream and oat-toned birds dotted with black spots and small orange beaks, arranged at varying angles to create an airy visual rhythm. The gentle paint-drawing character and soft contours give the graphic forms a warm, hand-drawn look without feeling cluttered. Printed to your exact dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper texture that complements the artistic quality of the design.

In the room

In children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms, the design introduces a lighthearted, playful mood while keeping the visual baseline calm. We particularly like how the open spacing of the birds prevents the motif from overwhelming compact spaces, making it just as effective across multiple walls as it is on a dedicated feature wall behind a cot or toddler bed. In a playroom or creative corner, the varying sizes and directions of the birds draw the eye upward and across the wall, adding a dreamy sense of movement that feels uplifting throughout the day.

Styling it

The clean Scandinavian character and illustrative look pair naturally with warm, contemporary furniture. We would suggest:

• Keeping surrounding furniture in pale woods such as birch, ash, or light natural oak to echo the oat and cream tones of the birds.
• Introducing soft textiles in muted mustard, terracotta, or warm neutral weaves to pick up on the subtle orange accents in the beaks.
• Choosing simple, unfussy storage and low shelving that allow the lower section of the wall pattern to remain visible.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on the pale olive and light green background, balanced by creamy oat shades, touches of warm orange, and fine black detailing. To build a cohesive room, we recommend pairing this design with muted off-whites or soft chalky neutrals on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper contrast through paint or soft furnishings, warm ochre, soft peach, or an earthy moss green work particularly well alongside the background tone.
