Wallpaper - Balloon Play

Our Balloon Play wallpaper brings together a charming group of woodland animals on an airy balloon adventure. A raccoon holding a pink heart drifts alongside a green spotted balloon, whilst a hedgehog balances atop a soft blue balloon and an adventurous fox in a cosy blue scarf scrambles up a colourful bunch. A rabbit and a smaller fox join the flight, while delicate botanical sprigs and soft floral elements ground the base of the scene. Illustrated in a gentle watercolour-inspired style, the motifs feature burnt orange accents alongside dreamy pastel pinks, blues, and greens against a warm beige background. Made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a storybook warmth directly to children's spaces.

In the room

We particularly like this design in nurseries, toddler rooms, playrooms, and children's bedrooms where you want to create an imaginative setting. Because the illustration has a distinct vertical balance, with delicate meadow details along the lower wall and animals floating upward, we would give it a relatively open, prominent wall. It works wonderfully behind a cot, a low toddler bed, or a reading corner where the delightful character details remain easy to see at eye level. For smaller bedrooms or compact playrooms, choosing one feature wall allows the balloon motif to add visual interest without feeling busy, while in a dedicated nursery it can comfortably set the tone for the entire space.

Styling it

To style around this playful illustration, we recommend drawing on its soft, storybook quality with clean, quiet surrounding elements. Light natural woods or painted white furniture let the whimsical characters take centre stage without competing for visual attention.

Soft textiles in unbleached cotton or brushed knitwear echo the comforting feel of the design, while keeping larger pieces simple allows the detailed animal figures to stand out. If you wish to bring in decorative accents, simple spherical paper pendant lamps or rounded wooden shelving subtly mirror the curved shapes of the balloons.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a warm beige backdrop layered with burnt orange, soft pastel blues, gentle pinks, and muted greens.

To create a balanced scheme on surrounding walls, woodwork, and larger furniture, we suggest:

• Warm beige or off-white paint to seamlessly extend the wallpaper's background tone across adjacent surfaces
• Soft muted blue or sage green on painted storage, skirting boards, or curtains to echo the cooler pastel tones
• Muted terracotta or soft rust accents in cushions, blankets, or decorative prints to gently pick up the burnt orange details in the foxes
