Wallpaper - Sticking My Neck Out

Our Sticking My Neck Out wallpaper pairs cheerful cartoon giraffes with palm trees, delicate pastel rainbows and scattered pink dots across a clean white background. Illustrated with friendly expressions and warm brown spots, the giraffes stand in varied poses to create a lively, balanced pattern. Soft accents of pale pink, beige and muted green bring a gentle touch of colour that keeps the overall look light and open. Produced to order as custom made wallpapers, our PVC-free designs feature a subtle paper structure and are straightforward to hang in any children's space.

In the room

We created this design with younger spaces in mind, and it works wonderfully across the walls of a nursery, toddler room or dedicated play corner. Because the white background gives each illustrated element plenty of breathing room, the repeat stays visually light rather than overwhelming. On a main feature wall behind a cot or toddler bed, the playful giraffe characters create an inviting focal point without dominating the room. In larger or open-plan nursery layouts, using this design across multiple walls adds an engaging safari storybook feel while maintaining an airy, uncluttered aesthetic.

Styling it

To complement the gentle mood of this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with simple, light-toned furnishings that allow the illustrated motif to take centre stage. Natural wood finishes, such as pale ash or light birch, work harmoniously with the warm brown tones of the giraffes and palm trunks. Painted furniture in soft off-white or muted cream keeps the room calm, while soft furnishings in tactile woven fabrics like unbleached cotton or brushed jersey mirror the gentle pastel pink and sage accents in the rainbows.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a clean white base, layered with warm light brown, gentle pastel pink, subtle beige and soft leaf green. When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, woodwork or larger furniture, soft warm neutrals like oatmeal, biscuit and buttermilk echo the giraffe spots naturally. For a slightly more playful palette, you can pull the muted pastel green or delicate blush pink from the rainbows into curtains, painted skirting boards or low storage units to create a cohesive, tailored finish throughout the room.
