Wallpaper - Forest Friends

Our Forest Friends wallpaper, created by Kris Art, brings a delightful storybook world to life with charming woodland animals rendered in a gentle watercolour-like style. Set against a soft cream backdrop, the repeating pattern features sweet fawns adorned with floral crowns, cheerful dancing raccoons, sitting bear cubs, wide-eyed owls, and fluttering birds, interspersed with delicate feathers, acorns, and botanical sprigs. The balanced composition and muted pastel palette give this design an airy, whimsical quality that feels warm and inviting without overwhelming the room. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a nursery, toddler bedroom, or playroom where you want a calm yet playful atmosphere. Because the motif is distributed evenly across a soft, light ground rather than arranged as a heavy scenic landscape, the wallpaper works effortlessly across all four walls or as a gentle feature behind a cot or toddler bed. In smaller rooms or bedrooms with sloped ceilings and alcoves, the open spacing allows the illustrated characters to remain visible even around doors, windows, and standard low nursery furniture.

Styling it

To complement the nostalgic, storybook character of the illustrations, we suggest pairing this design with simple painted nursery furniture or warm natural timber like birch or light ash. The delicate details in the pattern show best when surrounding furnishings are kept relatively quiet and functional, such as a shaker-style cot or classic rounded storage pieces.

Soft textiles in washed cotton or wool, such as a plain cream woven rug or muted blush and dusty blue bedding, help echo the quiet tones within the illustration without adding competing visual pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a serene, warm cream base accented with soft grey, fawn brown, dusty blue foliage, and gentle pastel pinks.

For surrounding painted walls, skirting boards, or window frames, we like working with warm off-whites, gentle buttermilk creams, or a very pale biscuit tone to keep the room light and cohesive. If you prefer a touch more contrast, pulling out the dusty cornflower blue or soft heather-rose from the floral details for painted joinery, a wardrobe, or a half-height painted tongue-and-groove wainscot creates a timeless, heritage-inspired look.
