Wallpaper - Ducks in the Snow VIII

Our Ducks in the Snow VIII wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, captures two cheerful white ducks skating across a cool steel-blue winter backdrop. The illustrated scene is full of character, showing one duck in patterned trousers and a striped scarf holding a branch of red berries, while the other glides in a snowflake-patterned dress. Dotted snowflakes drift across the open background, creating a playful, storybook atmosphere. The palette balances crisp white and cool blue with small accents of red and orange, giving the pattern an expressive visual rhythm that suits children's spaces. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a nursery, toddler room, kids' room, or dedicated play area. Because the design features distinct character illustrations against an open snowy ground, it creates an engaging focal point on a main wall without overwhelming the entire space. We would place it on a feature wall behind a cot, toddler bed, or low toy storage, keeping the figures at an eye level where young children can appreciate the details. In a playroom, giving the mural an open, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the movement of the skating characters and falling snowflakes to set a cheerful, imaginative tone.

Styling it

To complement the narrative charm of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and functional. Light natural wood or painted white storage pieces fit naturally alongside the cool blue backdrop, allowing the illustrated characters to remain the primary visual focus.

You can draw on the smaller details in the artwork through surrounding textiles, such as a burnt orange throw blanket, berry-red cushions, or soft cream bedding. Simple geometric rugs or plain woven floor coverings balance the decorative character of the motif without competing with the falling snow pattern.

Colour combinations

The foundation of the wallpaper pairs a calm steel blue with clean winter white, accented by touches of bright orange on the beaks and feet, alongside small berry-red details.

For adjacent painted walls, a soft off-white or a very pale, muted slate blue creates a cohesive and gentle surround. If you want to introduce warmer contrast through painted woodwork, furniture, or decor, soft terracotta, rust, or warm mustard tones pick up on the orange and red accents in the illustration without overpowering the cool base.
