Wallpaper - Safari Retreat

Our Safari Retreat wallpaper brings a peaceful African wildlife scene into the room through detailed ink drawing and warm, earthy tones. An elephant and its calf gather beside lush green foliage and tropical palms while a zebra grazes peacefully nearby. A tall giraffe reaches up towards the canopy as a colourful parrot glides overhead and a playful monkey rests among the leaves. In the hazy distance, another giraffe and birds rest beside a quiet waterhole beneath soft rolling hills and a pale sun. Produced to order as custom made made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design creates an imaginative landscape filled with gentle storytelling.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms where the narrative detail can spark curiosity. Because the panoramic composition tells a continuous story across the foreground and background, we recommend giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall where the animals and distant landscape can unfold naturally. On an accent wall behind a cot, bed, or low storage unit, the lower placement of the elephant and zebra keeps key elements visible at eye level, while the giraffe and soaring parrot draw the gaze upward across the room.

Styling it

To complement the heritage ink-drawing style and warm palette of our mural wallpapers, we would keep surrounding elements grounded and natural.

• Pair with lighter wood or warm timber furniture, such as natural birch, ash, or pine, to mirror the soft outdoor feel of the savannah scene.
• Select simple, unpatterned textiles in earthy shades like soft terracotta, warm oat, or muted forest green to let the detailed animal motifs carry the visual interest.
• Keep wall decor and tall furniture minimal on the wallpapered wall so the panoramic landscape and animal figures remain unobstructed.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a base of warm brown and light brown shades, balanced by leafy greens in the palms and subtle, colourful accents in the parrot and gentle landscape. To create a cohesive space, we suggest picking up the warm biscuit and sand tones on surrounding painted walls and woodwork. Muted olive green or soft terracotta accents in bedding, cushions, or painted cabinetry will echo the tropical greenery and earthy soil without competing with the mural.
