Crane Wallpaper

Crane wallpaper is a wall mural built around the crane bird, drawn in the style of old Japanese and Chinese art. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall.

Why Crane Wallpaper Suits British Homes

Soft grey daylight is kind to these designs. The palettes are gentle to begin with, so nothing glares. Cream and ink hold their tone on a dull day, where a bright colour would go flat. In a north-facing dining room the wall reads calm rather than cold. In a bright room the gold details lift without shouting.

The style has a long history in British homes. Painted birds and branches have graced dining rooms here for centuries. Our chinoiserie wallpaper collection runs in the same tradition.

Period Rooms and Rented Flats

Victorian and Georgian Rooms

High ceilings suit a tall bird. Try a full scene across a dining room wall. Or keep it to the alcoves either side of a chimney breast. The linework flatters white cornicing and deep skirting rather than fighting it.

Crane Wall Murals for New Builds and Lets

Flat modern walls give the design room to breathe. Renting in London or Bristol? Peel and stick lifts off at the end of a tenancy without pulling the paint. For more birds in a softer key, see our bird wallpaper range.

A single bird on cream is the quiet option for a small room. A flock in flight fills a big wall instead. The classic pair, one standing and one landing, sits between the two.

What to Pair With It

Cream, sand and warm white are the safe base. Ink blue and charcoal add weight. Soft gold lifts it. Deep green works where the design has reeds. Avoid a busy rug, as the wall is the pattern in this room.

  • Dining rooms: a full scene across one wall.
  • Bedrooms: a pair of birds above the bed.
  • Hallways: a tall design that draws the eye up.
  • Studies: one bird on cream behind the desk.
