Wallpaper - Penguin Promenade

Our Penguin Promenade wallpaper captures two penguins strolling side by side across a pale sandy beach, set against a soft, overcast coastal background. What we especially like about this photographic design is the balance between the muted sand tones and the bright orange beaks and feet, which bring a warm note of colour to the scene. Created by Steve Heap, the composition has an open, uncluttered feel that gives the birds plenty of space on the wall. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper, it is printed PVC-free on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in children's rooms, nurseries, playrooms and family living areas where a friendly wildlife theme feels right at home. Because the penguins are positioned in the lower portion of the frame with open sky and soft beach behind them, the design creates a calm focal point that does not overwhelm the space. In a toddler room or nursery, we would place it along an uninterrupted wall or behind a low bed where the full walking motion of the two birds remains visible. It can also bring a relaxed, nature-inspired character to a family bathroom or guest bedroom when used as a feature wall.

Styling it

To complement the natural coastal atmosphere of our mural wallpapers, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings understated and grounded in organic textures.

• Pair with light or mid-tone natural woods, such as ash, birch or pale oak, to echo the warmth of the sand and keep the room bright.
• Introduce soft neutral textiles in cream, linen or warm grey for curtains and bedding to mirror the overcast sky in the background.
• Bring in small accent pieces in terracotta, amber or burnt orange to gently pick up on the vibrant colour of the penguins' beaks and feet.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is grounded in soft creams, light sandy greys and warm earth tones, punctuated by the deep black and crisp white of the penguins' feathers and their vivid orange details. When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites, warm pale greys or chalky creams that blend naturally with the background. For a slightly richer contrast, soft ocean blues, muted slate or warm ochre accents work wonderfully to highlight the coastal feel without competing with the central image.
