Wallpaper - Smile Lion

Our Smile Lion wallpaper brings a playful, friendly character into children's spaces through a charming repeat of smiling cartoon lions. Designed by NickStudios, the motif features tan lion figures with warm brown manes, dotted across a crisp white ground alongside simple leaf shapes in soft green, orange, and beige. The flat illustration style and generous spacing give the pattern an open, cheerful rhythm that feels light and approachable on the wall. Produced to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, it offers a thoughtful backdrop tailored specifically to your room.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a nursery, toddler room, or shared playroom where a friendly, animal-themed atmosphere is desired. Because the white background creates plenty of breathing room between the lions and foliage, the wallpaper can easily wrap around all four walls without overwhelming a smaller nursery. In a larger playroom, using it on a main feature wall behind a low toy shelf or play table gives the room a clear focal point while keeping the overall look bright and uncluttered.

Styling it

To complement the illustration's gentle mood, we like pairing this wallpaper with light, natural wood finishes like pine, birch, or pale ash. These lighter tones echo the tan and beige elements of the lions without competing for attention.

For surrounding soft furnishings, choosing solid, unpatterned textiles in muted olive or warm ochre helps draw out the leaf details in the background. Keeping larger furniture simple in shape and neutral in tone lets the illustrated characters remain the joyful highlight of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built on a clean white ground layered with earthy tan, soft sienna brown, warm orange, beige, and muted green.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, painted woodwork, or nursery furniture, we suggest looking to the softer tones within the motif. An off-white or soft warm cream keeps the room cohesive and bright, while a gentle sage green or muted terracotta accent pulls directly from the illustrated leaves, adding depth without feeling heavy.
