Wallpaper - Neighborhood Pals XI

Created by Farida Zaman, our Neighborhood Pals XI wallpaper brings a cheerful trio of illustrated woodland characters into focus against a crisp, clean background. The design features an endearing fox in a green polka-dot dress, a wide-eyed owl with a bow tie, and a gentle deer bundled in a patterned jumper and scarf. Rendered with a charming hand-painted, watercolour-like character, the earthy palette of burnt orange, slate grey, and sage green gives the composition a warm, playful personality. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this design brings an imaginative narrative to a room while maintaining a light, open visual feel.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across a nursery or a toddler's bedroom, where its storybook charm can take centre stage. Because the three characters form a distinct, horizontal grouping with generous white space around them, we would place this mural wallpaper on an uninterrupted feature wall, such as behind a cot, a low bed, or along a dedicated play corner. The crisp backdrop keeps smaller rooms feeling bright and uncluttered, while the friendly scale of the animals creates an engaging visual anchor at eye level for little ones.

Styling it

To complement the whimsical, handcrafted look of the illustration, we would lean into simple furniture with soft, natural textures. Low-profile furniture in pale woods, like birch or ash, pairs naturally with the earthy tones without competing with the artwork.

We would also echo the colours in surrounding soft textiles, perhaps choosing a sage green blanket or burnt orange cushions that pick up on the owl and fox. Keeping larger storage pieces in clean, painted white or muted neutral finishes helps ensure the illustrated trio remains the focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on warm burnt orange, muted teal-green, slate grey, and soft blush tones set against a bright white background. When decorating the rest of the room, we suggest pulling directly from these earthy accents:

Warm off-white or soft alabaster paint on adjacent walls provides a smooth transition that feels gentler than pure brilliant white. Subtle sage green or eucalyptus tones on woodwork and shelving echo the clothing details on the characters, grounding the room in a tranquil, nature-inspired palette. For a slightly bolder contrast, deeper slate grey accents can balance the warmth of the orange elements.
