Wallpaper - Big Yawn I

Our Big Yawn I wallpaper captures an expressive wildlife portrait by Max Blakesberg Studios, showing a cheetah resting in golden, sunlit dry grass mid-yawn. With its mouth wide open, sharp teeth, and pink tongue visible against its spotted tan coat, the composition balances dramatic wild energy with a calm, unguarded moment. The warm caramel, golden, and earthy brown palette brings organic depth to the wall, making it a distinctive focal point. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it simple to hang in your space.

In the room

Because of the bold focal subject and the photographic detail of the cheetah and surrounding grass, we see this wall mural working especially well on a primary feature wall. In a living room, bedroom, home office, or teenage room, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full scale and depth of the savannah landscape to breathe without being cut off by high furniture.

The earthy caramel and warm brown tones react nicely to changing room light. In generous daylight, the delicate detail in the dry grass and the spotted pattern on the coat stand out clearly, while softer evening lighting deepens the warm, golden atmosphere across the room.

Styling it

When styling around such a visually striking wildlife photograph, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded to let the wall mural carry the visual drama.

Low-profile furniture in warm natural timber or painted matte finishes balances the organic tones without fighting the composition. Keeping large upholstery in neutral, textured fabrics creates a comfortable, cohesive space, while simple accents in blackened metal or warm clay tie directly into the cat's distinctive spots and the golden landscape.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is defined by warm caramel, golden tones, earthy browns, and deep black spots, accented by the soft pink of the cat's tongue.

To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pairing this design with surrounding walls or woodwork in soft warm stone, biscuit, or muted sandy neutrals. For a richer, more grounded look, deep chocolate brown, charcoal, or dark olive on adjacent joinery or trim will pick up on the deep contrast in the cheetah's spots and ground the room beautifully.
