Wallpaper - Picnic Time

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Picnic Time wallpaper brings together an endearing lineup of illustrated cats dressed in party hats, cosy knit jumpers, scarves, and bow ties. The flat graphic illustration style combines warm burnt orange, charcoal, slate grey, and earthy brown tones with lively accents across an open white backdrop. Each feline character has its own distinct expression and personality, arranged in a playful horizontal row that anchors the lower section of a wall. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working wonderfully in a child's bedroom, nursery, toddler room, or playroom where its cheerful character can take centre stage. Because the illustrated cats sit along a horizontal baseline with open space above, the design works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a low cot, toddler bed, or toy storage bench. In a playroom, having the characters positioned at child height naturally invites storytelling and visual discovery without visually overcrowding the upper half of the room.

Styling it

To let the quirky personalities of the illustrated cats stand out, we suggest keeping larger furniture relatively simple and grounded. Low-profile painted furniture in soft off-white or light grey echoes the clean backdrop while keeping the focus on the illustrated figures. You can balance the energetic illustration by incorporating warm wooden elements, such as natural pine or light birch shelving, which harmonise with the warm orange and brown tones in the motif.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced palette of burnt orange, warm ginger, slate grey, deep charcoal, and soft brown, complemented by pops of coral red and teal on collars and jumpers. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend soft warm white, gentle stone, or pale grey to maintain a light, airy feel throughout the space. If you would like to introduce more saturated accents in bedding, cushions, or painted woodwork, pulling out the burnt orange or muted teal from the cats' accessories creates a cohesive and thoughtful palette.
