Wallpaper - Let's Play Dogs

Created by Becky Thorns, our Let's Play Dogs wallpaper brings a lighthearted, expressive energy to the wall through a charming lineup of illustrated pups. Rendered with a soft watercolour-like character and loose, lively ink outlines, each dog displays its own quirky personality, from a tumbling pup balancing a ball to an energetic jumper and a graceful spotted hound. Set against a clean neutral backdrop, the warm mocha browns, deep charcoal, and subtle collar accents create an airy, uncrowded rhythm across the wall. Printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this made-to-measure design offers a wonderfully tailored feature that remains straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an open, horizontal arrangement with plenty of white space between the characters, we particularly like using this mural wallpaper across a main focal wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom. The spacing gives the room a light and uncluttered feel, allowing the individual dog illustrations to stand out without overwhelming smaller spaces. We would keep lower furniture like toy chests, low shelving units, or a toddler bed positioned so the playful figures remain clearly visible. In a shared play space, giving the design an uninterrupted wall allows the full narrative progression of the running, leaping, and resting dogs to unfold naturally at eye level.

Styling it

To complement the charming illustrative style, we recommend pairing the wall murals with simple, contemporary furniture that has rounded corners and gentle silhouettes. Lighter wood tones or soft white painted furniture keep the overall scheme relaxed and welcoming, allowing the artwork to take centre stage. Because the drawing style is so characterful, we suggest keeping surrounding textiles mostly plain or subtly textured, such as woven cotton rugs, neutral linen storage baskets, or simple ribbed throws. A few quiet decorative touches, like framed line drawings or soft ceramic lamps, will effortlessly tie the space together.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines a warm palette of mocha brown, sandy beige, crisp white, and deep charcoal black, punctuated by tiny touches of teal green and warm red on the collars. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-white or soft biscuit tones provide a seamless, cohesive backdrop that echoes the wallpaper's neutral ground. If you want to introduce more depth, pulling out the earthy mocha shades for painted skirting boards or a feature wardrobe creates a grounded, cosy balance. Alternatively, subtle hints of muted olive or soft terracotta in small room accessories will gently mirror the playful collar details.
