Bird Wallpaper: Styles, Ideas & How to Make It Yours
A Wall That Sings
There's a particular magic to a wall of birds. Where a floral is beautiful and a leaf is calming, a bird design brings a room life and movement — a flutter of wings among the branches, a song you can almost hear. Birds have decorated our finest interiors for centuries, from delicate garden songbirds to grand, exotic plumage, and they remain one of the most joyful, characterful designs you can choose. Our own Avian Garden designs were born from exactly this love of birds among the blooms.
At Claret & Key, every bird design is drawn by our own designers and printed to order in your chosen colour way, so the version on your wall is the one you chose — your scale, your shade, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
Finding your birds
Birds come in wonderful variety. There are garden birds and songbirds, delicate and charming among the branches. There are elegant water birds like the crane and heron, all poise and chinoiserie grace. There are game birds, the pheasant and duck of a country scene. And there are exotic birds, parrots and flamingos in glorious colour. Whichever you're drawn to, a bird design can be soft and pretty or bold and dramatic.
Choosing your colour
Because our bird designs are printed to order, the colour is yours. Soft, natural tones let the birds feel gentle and gardeny. A richer, jewel-toned palette brings the exotic and the dramatic. And a deep or dark ground makes plumage really sing. Whatever you choose, it's printed in your shade rather than pulled from a fixed range.
Where bird wallpaper works
Bird designs bring life to almost any room. A living or dining room gains a wonderful sense of occasion, especially on a feature wall. A bedroom feels calm and romantic with soft garden birds. A hallway rewards a second look as you pass, and a cloakroom is the perfect place for a design with real detail. Birds also feel timeless in a nursery, full of things to spot without ever feeling themed.
Your bird wallpaper, your way
Every design comes in three finishes. Traditional (150gsm, super-matte) is the refined, paste-the-wall classic. Heavy-Grade (300gsm, with a subtle sand texture) stands up to hallways and busy rooms. And Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm) gives you the same design with none of the commitment — ideal for renters, or a room you like to restyle. All are printed to order on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper, so they're kinder to the planet and safe for every room in the house.
Colours shift with the light, so order a sample and see your colour way in the room first.
Bird wallpaper features birds as its motif — from delicate garden songbirds and elegant cranes to game birds and exotic parrots and flamingos. It brings a room life, movement and a sense of occasion.
Is bird wallpaper a traditional or modern look?
Both. Birds have decorated fine interiors for centuries, so a bird design carries real heritage, yet it feels completely current. The style can be soft and traditional or bold and contemporary, depending on the design and colour way.
Which rooms suit bird wallpaper?
Living and dining rooms gain a sense of occasion, bedrooms feel calm with soft garden birds, hallways and cloakrooms reward a closer look, and nurseries feel timeless and full of detail to spot.
What kinds of birds can I choose?
Garden birds and songbirds, elegant water birds like cranes and herons, country game birds like the pheasant and duck, and exotic birds like parrots and flamingos — soft and pretty through to bold and dramatic.
Can I get bird wallpaper in a custom colour?
Yes — every bird design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way and scale, from soft naturals to rich jewel tones, made especially for you.
Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
This beautiful wallpaper is in my foyer and it sets off the tone of the whole house. In the neighboring dining room I’ve hung Thibaut Iggy wallpaper and the two rooms blend seamlessly.
Excellent!
First Class wallpaper, easy application, the print is exceptional, new it would be ideal for my coffee corner of my new kitchen , arrived well packaged and on time , would highly recommend
This paper was so easy to install! I have used all three types of paper and will never go back to anything but paste the wall. The patterns were correct and easy to Mark and to match and the colors were as true as my samples. This company has been great to deal with and will use them again in the future.
Love this wallpaper! Second time purchasing a Claret & Key wallpaper. The quality is outstanding! The paper is thick and goes on so easily, works great for those new to wallpapering or DIY. The colors are super bright and amazing. They are my go-to wallpaper company now!
I love the quality of this paper, it was easy to cut and correct where I had made mistakes. Its high end vintage style is timeless in my daughter’s bedroom. I love it and will use this brand again!! Thank you so much 🤍🤍
Looks beautiful in my dining room and in a cabinet that I brought in during the remodel. The service was great and came quickly. The paper was easy to install. The only thing I am noticing is that it is pulling up in places. It might be the textured wall that is causing the issues. A high quality paper and I would definitely order again.
Only started with one wall and I’ve decided to do my entire room. It is so stunning and cozy. It made my bedroom look like it’s from a different planet. I bought two more rolls for the room. I am so excited to get those when they arrive !
Love the wall paper. Easy to hang, and I love the fact that you can change the background colours, which for me makes it bespoke. I have recommended to a friend.
Absolutely gorgeous and high quality wallpaper. We got samples from multiple brands and I could tell just by the feel of this one how high quality it is.
The print is a total Florida vibe. It feels vintage, tropical, very old Florida. The 'summer' color way feels bright but isn't overwhelming. Truly love this wallpaper.
Ordered 2 rolls, managed in one roll. Quickest and easiest wallpaper I’ve put up. Hardly any wastage due to repeating pattern. Got a refund for the roll I didn’t use within a few days of returning also. When returning I emailed C&K for instructions and was given promptly and clearly. Would recommend and would buy again.
I've never worked with peel & stick wallpaper before. It was a little tricky to get use to, but I got the hang of it & the process went smoothly! It's sticking great, weeks later, no peeling anywhere! I absolutely love how this print transformed my dining room!
