Wallpaper - Playful Bugs II

Created by artist Cheryl Warrick, our Playful Bugs II wallpaper brings a whimsical, graphic quality to the wall with its block-print-inspired beetles, delicate leaves and earthy patterns. The flat illustration style pairs bold lines and simplified organic shapes with a palette grounded in sea green, teal and muted earth tones. We love how the open spacing lets each charming insect breathe across the surface, giving the repeat an airy, relaxed rhythm rather than feeling overcrowded. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang while creating a distinctive backdrop in family spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a nursery, children's bedroom, toddler room or dedicated playroom. The clear, graphic forms and gentle sea green background give the motif plenty of character without visual overwhelm, making it easy to live with across multiple walls or on a single focal wall behind a cot or low shelving. Because the repeat has a generous, balanced rhythm, it works just as nicely on smaller wall sections between doorways as it does across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full composition can unfold.

Styling it

The mid-century graphic quality and block-print feel naturally invite clean, functional furniture and honest materials. We like pairing this wallpaper with warm birch, plywood or light oak furniture, such as low toy storage units or a simple wooden bed frame. To keep the atmosphere light and playful, you can balance the sea green tones with soft neutral textiles, while introducing small decorative accents in mustard yellow, terracotta or muted teal through cushions, storage baskets or painted chair legs.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is anchored by a soothing sea green background, complemented by deep teal outlines and earthy accent tones. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, skirting or architraves, we recommend soft off-white, light warm grey or a muted parchment to keep the focus on the illustration. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper teal or a muted olive from the pattern for woodwork or low cabinetry creates a lovely grounded contrast.
