Wallpaper - Sweet Animals I

Our Sweet Animals I wallpaper by Beth Grove features an illustrated young chimpanzee rendered with a gentle watercolour-like look. With expressive eyes and large ears, the portrait balances rich mocha and earthy brown tones with subtle grey touches against a calm off-white backdrop, framed by minimalist monstera leaf line drawings. The open composition gives the playful subject plenty of breathing room, creating a light and friendly focal point. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the design centres on a single charming character with an open, uncluttered background, we see this working wonderfully as a feature wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom. Placing the mural on a main wall behind a cot or low bed allows the sweet portrait to anchor the space without making the room feel enclosed. It is equally suited to a family playroom or a creative home art studio, where the whimsical animal illustration adds personality to reading corners or craft areas. On a wider wall, the generous off-white ground gives the room an airy feel, ensuring the artwork feels calm rather than visually crowded.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest leaning into natural materials and simple forms that complement its gentle Scandinavian character. Lighter wood furniture in pale birch or natural ash sits harmoniously alongside the earthy brown palette, grounding the room while keeping the atmosphere bright. To balance the graphic nature of the central chimpanzee and monstera leaves, we recommend pairing the wall with understated, plain woven textiles in soft oatmeal or unbleached cotton, avoiding busy patterned fabrics that might compete with the illustration.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a natural palette of rich mocha, soft brown, and muted grey set against an off-white background. For surrounding surfaces, we like continuing the warm off-white onto adjacent painted walls and woodwork to create a seamless, open environment. If you prefer subtle contrast, muted earthy tones such as soft taupe, warm stone, or a very gentle mossy green on cabinetry or trim pick up on the foliage and fur tones without overpowering the artwork.
