Decorate with beautiful bird print wallpapers

Flocks of birds returning home is the signal that spring is finally
here, so choosing bird-themed wallpapers and fabrics is a lovely way to
welcome the change of season. With designs to suit all tastes, from
exotic breeds to traditional British birds, they work well in both
modern and traditional settings.

This Fifties-inspired budgie pattern is ideal for a modern-retro look

Chirpy White BL-1201-01 wallpaper, £35 per roll, Blendworth

For a cosy, country-inspired
theme in a kitchen, use classic designs featuring chicken, duck or
garden-bird motifs. More elaborate designs featuring exotic plumage will
add a glamorous touch to bedrooms. Choose fun bird designs to create a
stimulating feel in a children's room or to give a living area a
contemporary look.

Traditional British birds perched on branches will add a wonderful country feel to your decor

As with all pattern, scale is important, so
consider the size of the room. Elaborate peacocks will work better in
larger rooms, while a flock of smaller birds would suit a compact space.
Bird fabrics are ideal on curtains and blinds, as they enhance the
connection with the outdoors, and a single upholstered chair in a lively
bird print is a great way to add a point of interest. Embrace the theme
by teaming your chosen design with feather decorations and ornamental
birdcages, as well as plants and natural finishes.
