Wallpaper - Keeping It Cool

Our Keeping It Cool wallpaper, created by Art Balitskiy, brings a witty and expressive touch to the wall with an illustrated cast of anthropomorphic bears in eclectic outfits. Rendered with fine ink-style cross-hatching against a light backdrop, each character has its own distinct personality, from classic trench coats and tailored blazers to retro tracksuits and skate gear. We produce this design as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, giving you an artful and characterful backdrop that is easy to hang.

In the room

Because of its lively character and grid-like composition of figures, we see this design working especially well in spaces that welcome personality and creativity. In a teenage room or a play room, it acts as an engaging feature wall that immediately sparks curiosity without overwhelming the entire space. We also like using our wallpaper in a home art studio, where the quirky graphic illustrations provide an inspiring visual backdrop behind a main desk or workbench. On an uninterrupted wall, the complete lineup of characters remains fully visible, letting each playful detail stand out clearly.

Styling it

To let the personality of the bear illustrations lead the room, we suggest balancing the wall with relatively clean-lined contemporary furniture. Simple painted pieces or warm wood finishes work naturally alongside the illustrated figures without competing for attention.

For an eclectic or postmodern look, you can pull playful accents directly from the outfits in the pattern, such as a cobalt blue table lamp or a forest green side chair. Keeping large floor coverings and surrounding surfaces relatively plain allows the graphic charm of the mural to remain the focal point of your interior.

Colour combinations

The design is built on warm brown bear tones paired with a varied palette of forest green, navy, mustard, slate blue, and rich crimson, all set against a soft off-white background.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls, a warm off-white or light stone shade creates a seamless transition that matches the background. If you prefer more depth, picking up the deep navy, muted olive, or rich charcoal from the characters' coats on adjacent woodwork, shelving, or trim creates a cohesive and grounded interior scheme.
