Wallpaper - Picking Good Times

Created by Veronique Charron, our Picking Good Times wallpaper brings together vintage coastal poster art with graphic Americana typography. The design centres on an illustrated shorebird portrait framed by a delicate rope border and a fine compass rose detail, set against soft sky blue and teal geometric banding. Distressed block lettering framing the scene reads "Feel the breeze and be at ease", introducing a weathered, screenprint-inspired character across the wall. Our custom mural wallpapers are made to measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and central focal point, we see this design working especially well as an accent wall in a coastal vacation home, a welcoming entryway, or a relaxed hallway. The bold framing and distinct typography mean the wallpaper naturally draws focus, making it a characterful backdrop behind an entryway bench or along a staircase landing. In a powder room or guest bathroom, the nostalgic seaside theme brings warmth and charm without overwhelming compact dimensions, particularly when placed on the main wall facing the entrance.

Styling it

The weathered screenprint quality and coastal Americana character pair naturally with relaxed, casual furnishings. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively understated to let the graphic lettering and bird illustration stand out.

Natural wood tones such as weathered pine, bleached ash, or light reclaimed timber echo the seaside feel of the composition. For accompanying materials, simple painted shaker furniture, woven storage baskets, and matte off-white architectural elements create a clean, cohesive setting that complements the vintage poster aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of sky blue, muted teal, warm earthy browns, and weathered denim blue, accented by soft coral red in the lettering on a textured cream ground.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft cream tones provide a clean continuation of the background canvas. If you prefer more contrast, a muted chalky blue or soft seafoam drawn from the striped band helps anchor the surrounding room, while understated sand tones in surrounding textiles harmonise with the warm feathers of the central bird motif.
