Wallpaper - When Dinosaurs Roamed

Designed by Carrie Cantwell, our When Dinosaurs Roamed wallpaper brings together an illustrated Earth surrounded by an adventurous gathering of prehistoric creatures. A vibrant palette of blue, green, warm brown, and popping red with bright orange plates stands out clearly against the crisp white backdrop. The playful composition shows a gentle long-necked dinosaur, a frilled companion, and various ancient friends orbiting our planet in a clean, graphic style with subtle painted character. Made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals are straightforward to hang in any creative family space.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a children's bedroom, playroom, or nursery where the lively illustrated motif can take center stage. Because the design has a clear central focus with Earth and the encircling dinosaurs, it makes a wonderful feature wall behind a low bed, along a dedicated reading corner, or behind open toy storage. The white ground keeps the room feeling bright and open, allowing the rich blues, earthy greens, and bright orange accents to stand out without overwhelming smaller spaces or rooms with standard ceiling heights.

Styling it

To let the dynamic prehistoric scene remain the hero of the room, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively simple and grounded. Natural light wood furniture, such as birch or light ash, balances the bright colors nicely while keeping the room warm and welcoming. Simple painted storage units or a soft, neutral wool rug in off-white or light heather gray allow the colorful dinosaurs to draw the eye without competing patterns on the floor.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a vivid mix of globe blues, lush greens, rich browns, and bright red-orange accents against a clean white ground. For adjacent walls and woodwork, a soft warm white or very pale sky blue creates a cohesive backdrop that lets the mural wallpapers shine. If you want to draw out specific tones in soft furnishings or painted furniture, deep ocean blue, moss green, or cheerful terracotta accents tie directly into the illustrated creatures.
