Wallpaper - Let's Play Cats

Our Let's Play Cats wallpaper, designed by Becky Thorns, features an endearing lineup of playful cats rendered in an illustrated watercolor-like style. Set across a clean, light background, the illustrated cats stretch, pounce, tumble, and sit in a row of lively poses. Warm cinnamon brown, ginger, charcoal, and soft grey tones give the artwork an earthy, whimsical charm while maintaining plenty of open space. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings a lighthearted character to accent walls and shared spaces.

In the room

Because the pattern has a strong horizontal rhythm and generous negative space, we see this working especially well on an uninterrupted wall where the full sequence of cats can stretch out naturally. In a child's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom, placing the motif along a main wall keeps the energy cheerful without overwhelming the room. The horizontal spacing also makes it a charming backdrop behind a low bed frame or above low storage units.

In a creative home office or casual living room, the clean background lets the design function as a witty, understated focal point. We would keep surrounding wall clutter minimal so the playful movements of each individual cat have room to stand out.

Styling it

The lighthearted, contemporary character of this design pairs easily with relaxed, welcoming furnishings. We like balancing the illustrated details with simple, rounded furniture shapes and natural textures.

• Ground the room with warm wooden furniture, such as light oak or warm pine, which naturally echoes the ginger and cinnamon brown tones of the cats.
• Keep surrounding textiles soft and tactile, using unbleached cotton, woven cushions, or a neutral wool rug to create a cozy, layered atmosphere.
• Pick up on the darker charcoal and grey details through quiet accents, like simple matte black lamp bases or minimalist picture frames elsewhere in the room.

Colour combinations

The motif centers on warm cinnamon brown, ginger orange, soft grey, and deep charcoal on a crisp off-white ground.

For surrounding walls and trim, warm off-whites, pale biscuit shades, and creamy creams keep the space bright while letting the illustrated cats take center stage. If you want to introduce more color on adjacent walls or built-in cabinetry, muted terracotta, warm caramel, or a dusty sage green will complement the earthy palette beautifully without competing with the artwork.
