Wallpaper - Little Houses IV

Our Little Houses IV wallpaper, created by designer Sarah Adams, brings a cheerful storybook charm to the wall with three stylised buildings set side by side against a warm textured beige backdrop. The graphic composition pairs distinct architectural shapes with playful botanical accents, featuring a black-roofed house adorned with bright pink windows and blossoms, a taller centre building topped with a scalloped yellow roof, and a welcoming red-roofed cottage with dormer windows and bold matching blooms. Lush green foliage frames the scene, balancing the graphic ink-and-paint aesthetic with fresh organic shapes. Made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design offers an inviting, joyful focal point that feels both contemporary and gently retro.

In the room

We see our mural wallpapers working particularly well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, toddler rooms, and playrooms where their narrative character can shine. Because the three houses form a distinct horizontal scene framed by green plants, we recommend hanging this design on a main feature wall with minimal visual interruption. Placing it along an open wall area, behind a low cot, or behind a junior bed allows the complete illustration and its lovely roofline details to remain fully visible. In a shared play area, it creates an engaging backdrop for low shelving and toy storage without overwhelming the rest of the space.

Styling it

To let the playful architecture of the wallpaper take centre stage, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural, pale woods such as birch or ash work beautifully alongside the warm beige background, while mid-century-inspired furniture silhouettes echo the 1950s illustrative feel of the drawing. You can introduce soft accents by pulling directly from the graphic details, such as a sunshine-yellow cushion or a soft pink throw, keeping larger upholstery in calm neutrals so the wall remains the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is anchored by a warm textured beige background, layered with crisp black outlines and vibrant pops of sunny yellow, clear cherry red, bright rose pink, and fresh leaf green. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, soft oatmeal, warm off-white, or muted biscuit tones create a seamless, gentle transition that complements the wallpaper's base tone. For a bolder, design-led scheme, picking up the deep forest green of the framing foliage or the warm yellow of the scalloped roof on skirting boards, window frames, or painted furniture pieces will tie the whole room together.
