Wallpaper - Happy Day

Our Happy Day wallpaper, designed by Bianca, brings together a delightful gathering of storybook animals and botanical details in a soft watercolour style. Across a crisp white backdrop, illustrated giraffes, cheerful elephants, fluffy sheep, sloths, rabbits, owls, and small insects mingle with delicate sprigs and saffron-toned wildflowers. The open spacing and gentle character of the illustrations give the design a light, uplifting presence that feels warm and engaging without overwhelming the room. Each of our wallpapers is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We especially like this design for a nursery or toddler room where you want a playful, storybook atmosphere. Because the illustrations are evenly distributed with plenty of white space between them, the pattern breathes easily across an entire room without feeling crowded. It works beautifully on all four walls to create an immersive, gentle environment around a cot or low floor bed.

If you prefer to use it on a single feature wall, we recommend placing it on the main uninterrupted wall of the room, such as behind a changing table or reading nook. In rooms with generous daylight, the delicate watercolour-like washes in the leaves and animal coats show their subtle tonal variations clearly, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth in the saffron and muted terracotta floral accents.

Styling it

To complement the charming illustrative nature of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with simple, light-toned wooden furniture such as natural ash, birch, or pale pine. These lighter timbers keep the room bright and echo the natural woodland elements in the artwork.

For soft furnishings and decorative items, look to unbleached cottons, gentle textured knits, and plain woven textiles in off-white, oat, or muted moss green. Keeping the surrounding patterns minimal allows the individual characters and animals within the wallpaper to remain the focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself features warm saffron yellows, terracotta-toned blooms, soft olive and eucalyptus greens, alongside gentle grey-blue, tawny brown, and cream in the animal illustrations.

When painting adjacent walls, woodwork, or skirtings, we recommend choosing soft warm whites, gentle ivory, or a very pale warm stone to maintain an airy, cohesive backdrop. If you want to introduce a soft accent colour on a painted wardrobe, dresser, or doorway, a muted sage green or a soft earthy apricot drawn from the wildflowers creates a harmonious, intentional look.
