Wallpaper - Cover Up

Our Cover Up wallpaper features a photographic portrait by Jim Dratfield, capturing three distinct dogs against an earthy, sepia-toned backdrop. A tall Great Dane with a patterned white and black coat stands prominently in the center, flanked below by a small, dark-coated Chihuahua and an expressive Chinese Crested dog. The visual contrast between the breeds and the warm, vintage-inspired sepia wash gives the motif a playful yet composed character that immediately draws attention. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition centers on a large-scale canine portrait with significant vertical height, we see this working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room. Placing the design along a main wall, such as behind a low-backed sofa or across from an entryway opening, ensures the tall silhouette of the Great Dane remains fully visible. The sepia background provides an earthy, mid-toned warmth that anchors the wall without requiring the high contrast of a stark monochrome print. In a spacious living area, keeping the surrounding wall space relatively open lets the individual expressions and textural fur details of each dog come forward naturally.

Styling it

The warm, photographic character of this mural pairs naturally with relaxed, character-filled interiors that lean into vintage or mid-century influences. We would keep the surrounding furniture simple in form so the dogs remain the clear visual focal point of the space.

• Choose low-profile furniture in rich, warm woods or painted dark neutrals to keep the vertical line of the portrait open and unobstructed.
• Introduce soft upholstery in muted earth tones like taupe, warm charcoal, or washed canvas to echo the soft gradations of the photographic background.
• Select simple accent lighting with warm-temperature bulbs to highlight the subtle tonal depth across the sepia print during the evening.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by an earthy palette of warm sepia, creamy off-white, soft charcoal, and deep black within the dogs' coats. When decorating around this design, we recommend bringing in adjacent wall colors or large furnishings in soft linen, warm taupe, or weathered clay. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal trim or dark bronze accents pick up the deep tones in the Chihuahua's coat while grounding the overall room scheme.
