Wallpaper - Ducks in the Snow IX

Our Ducks in the Snow IX wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a playful, illustrative character to the wall with three stylized geese bundled up for winter. Set against a cool teal backdrop dotted with delicate snowflakes and star-like patterns, each bird shows off its own outfit in shades of patterned green, blue, and striped details, finished with red beaks and boots. The paint-drawing and collage-inspired aesthetic gives the composition an engaging, storybook feel. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it easy to hang across your chosen wall.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in children's bedrooms, nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms where a light-hearted, whimsical theme feels right at home. Because the three geese form a distinct narrative focal point across the lower portion of the design, we would give our wallpaper an open wall where low furniture or storage units do not block the characters. In a nursery, placing the mural behind a cot or low toy chest allows the snowy teal sky to lift the upper part of the room while keeping the detailed geese in plain view. In a playroom, it works wonderfully as a feature wall that anchors the play area without overwhelming the rest of the space.

Styling it

To let the illustrative charm of the mural take centre stage, we would balance the surrounding space with simple, clean-lined furniture and warm, natural textures:

• Pair the wallpaper with light natural wood furniture or crisp white painted storage to echo the bright white of the geese and keep the room airy.
• Bring in soft textiles in muted teal, dusty blue, or forest green to subtly pick up the tones from the geese's winter coats.
• Add small accents in warm red or terracotta through cushions or decorative accessories to mirror the boots and beaks, creating a balanced and cosy scheme.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a cool steel blue and teal foundation, contrasted by crisp white plumage and lively accents of moss green, slate blue, and warm berry red. For surrounding walls, we recommend soft off-whites, pale grey-blues, or a gentle muted sage that allows the teal backdrop of the mural to stand out without visual clash. If you prefer painted woodwork and skirting, a pale chalky grey or a tone-on-tone blue-grey works beautifully to frame the wallpaper cleanly.
