Wallpaper - Birds Flying High, Gray

Our Birds Flying High, Gray wallpaper, created in collaboration with Lisa Wirenfelt, features stylized birds with white silhouettes, speckled black markings, and small orange beaks gliding across an open, painterly backdrop. The composition has the visual character of an expressive paint drawing, with visible brushwork texture and birds angled in various directions to create a gentle, floating rhythm. It brings a playful yet restrained Scandinavian touch to walls, offering a quiet graphic presence that avoids feeling cluttered. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We particularly like how this motif works in children's spaces, including a nursery, toddler room, kids' room, or playroom. Because the birds are spaced out over a broad, textured ground rather than packed into a tight repeat, the pattern feels calm and uncluttered. Across a full room or on a single feature wall behind a crib or low play table, the floating shapes introduce movement without overwhelming the space. On larger, uninterrupted walls, the full scale of the birds' flight path can unfold naturally, while in smaller rooms, the open background keeps the overall atmosphere light and serene.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings simple and grounded to let the illustrative character of the design stand out. Natural materials such as light birch, untreated ash, or pale pine pair beautifully with the Scandinavian character of the artwork, balancing the cool tones in the wallpaper with subtle warmth.

Soft textiles in plain weaves or muted textures work best alongside this motif, avoiding competing patterns on bedding or floor coverings. You can also pick up on the small orange accents in the birds' beaks through modest decorative details like a painted picture frame, a small toy basket, or an accent cushion.

Color combinations

The design is defined by its muted gray and soft beige tones, contrasted by crisp white bird forms, graphic black spots, and warm orange beaks. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, look to surrounding paint colors in soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale pebble grays that echo the lighter areas of the backdrop. If you prefer a richer contrast on adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in storage, deep charcoal or muted navy provides a striking, tailored balance while keeping the overall palette tranquil.
