Wallpaper - Elephants

Our Elephants wallpaper brings an expressive watercolor painting by Chris Paschke to a grand scale, depicting an elephant family moving together across a vibrant landscape. What we particularly like about this design is the fluid wash of warm sunset tones, blending glowing amber, coral, and soft gold into cool slate blue, earthy greens, and subtle lavender shadows. The gentle linework and layered watercolor washes give the animals a soulful, artistic presence that commands attention while maintaining a calm, natural rhythm. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings character and scenic depth to any feature wall.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and rich narrative composition, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, nursery, or dining room. In a living room or study, placing the wallpaper along a primary uninterrupted wall allows the three figures and the expansive atmospheric horizon to unfold without visual clipping. For a nursery or child's bedroom, the tender composition of the parent and calf introduces an affectionate, storybook atmosphere that feels enduring and artistic rather than overly cartoonish. The transition from warm amber sky at the top to cooler watery tones along the bottom also provides a natural vertical grounding that works harmoniously around lower furnishings like sofas, credenzas, or low bed headboards.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest balancing its vivid painterly movement with grounded, organic modern furnishings. Warm wood finishes, such as natural oak, walnut, or honeyed teak, pick up the golden undertones in the sky and bring an inviting warmth to the room. To keep the focus on the artwork, we would choose quiet, solid-toned textiles like oatmeal linens or washed cotton in sand, muted charcoal, or warm cream. Layering in matte ceramic decorative pieces or subtle woven textures helps complement the organic feel of the watercolor medium without competing with the illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic balance between warm sunset shades and cool, grounding undertones, spanning amber, sunset coral, ochre, slate blue, mossy green, and deep charcoal. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend soft neutral tones such as warm ivory, sandy beige, or a very pale warm grey, which provide a calm frame for the mural. If you prefer deeper contrast, a muted slate blue or deep olive green pulled directly from the landscape base can create an intimate, cocooning atmosphere on connecting walls or built-in cabinetry.
