Wallpaper - Oak Hill Slumber, Sky Blue

Our Oak Hill Slumber, Sky Blue wallpaper, created with Irina Chikati, unfolds a gentle woodland story across the wall. At the base of a grand oak tree, a sleepy fox rests peacefully in a hollow trunk, while squirrels, raccoons, owls, and little birds perch amongst the sprawling leafy branches above. Soft blue bunting strings stretch across the canopy alongside a swaying beehive and drifting kites in a pale grey-white sky, with the meadow floor below dotted in wildflowers. Rendered with the delicate visual look of pencil, crayon, and watercolour, the palette blends soft sky blue, steel blue, muted grey, and warm beige. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love this design as a feature wall in a nursery, toddler room, children's bedroom, or dedicated playroom. Because the motif is anchored by the large oak tree at the bottom and opens up towards the sky and kites near the top, it works especially well on an uninterrupted wall behind a cot, low toddler bed, or cosy reading corner. In a smaller nursery, giving this mural wallpaper the main focal wall creates an enchanting narrative scene without overpowering the room, as the upper half remains light and airy. In a larger bedroom or playroom, the expansive branches and charming animal details provide plenty of quiet visual interest at child height and above.

Styling it

The soft, storybook quality of the illustration pairs naturally with Scandinavian and organic modern nursery interiors. We suggest leaning into simple, light-toned furniture such as bleached beech, light birch, or painted off-white pieces that let the delicate character of the illustration take centre stage. For larger textiles, soft cotton or textured wool blankets in gentle cream or muted oatmeal complement the warm beige accents in the meadow. A simple, low-pile neutral rug keeps the floor feeling calm and grounded beneath the detailed mural.

Colour combinations

The illustration itself centres on sky blue, steel blue, soft grey-white, and warm beige earthy tones. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, we would look to warm off-whites, chalky creams, or very pale greys for adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce a touch more colour through curtains, cushions, or storage baskets, subtle steel blues and muted sky tones will draw out the bunting and canopy details without creating sharp contrast.
