Wallpaper - Picking Good Times

Designed by Veronique Charron, our Picking Good Times wallpaper brings together classic coastal typography, a detailed wading bird portrait, and subtle nautical motifs. The central vignette features a sandpiper framed within a rope oval, set against sky blue and flanked by bold lettering that reads "Feel the breeze and be at ease". Weathered screenprint-inspired textures, earthy brown plumage, and warm coral lettering give the graphic a relaxed vintage character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an easygoing seaside mood to any feature wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in a hallway, an entryway, or a downstairs bathroom where the graphic lettering and central bird illustration can be appreciated up close. In a coastal cottage or holiday home, placing the design on an accent wall behind a hallway bench or opposite a doorway creates an immediate sense of arrival. Because the motif is arranged like a vintage poster with prominent wording top and bottom, it works best on an uninterrupted wall area where the full composition remains clearly visible rather than partially hidden behind tall cabinetry.

Styling it

The rustic coastal look pairs naturally with weathered surfaces and relaxed furnishings. We would pair this wallpaper with light, scrubbed wood furniture or white-painted timber panelling to reflect the classic seaside aesthetic. Keeping surrounding textiles quiet, such as unbleached cotton or simple canvas, lets the typography and warm coral accents provide the primary decorative focus in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around sky blue, warm sand, and earthy brown plumage, balanced by terracotta-coral lettering and off-white canvas tones. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, soft coastal off-whites and muted pale blues complement the sky background beautifully. For a slightly warmer contrast, drawing out the coral tone on a small painted console table or shelf creates a deliberate, cohesive connection.
