Wallpaper - Sweet Animals II

Our Sweet Animals II wallpaper, created with artist Beth Grove, brings an expressive wildlife portrait to the wall in gentle watercolour style. The composition centres on a seated chimpanzee in side profile, rendered in soft umber and earthy brown tones with delicate line work detailing its face, limbs, and subtle pink-tinted ears. Two large sketched banana leaves frame the scene, giving the motif a playful, botanical backdrop while keeping the overall layout open and light. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper featuring a subtle surface structure, making it simple to hang across your chosen wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms where you want an animal motif that feels characterful without overwhelming the space. Because the illustration focuses on a single seated figure framed by broad foliage, we like giving it a clear, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full artwork can breathe, such as behind a cot, next to a low reading nook, or along an open play area. In a toddler room, placing the mural on a main accent wall lets the muted earthy palette anchor the room quietly, leaving adjacent walls free for simpler painted surfaces.

Styling it

The gentle watercolour texture and natural browns pair easily with simple, Scandinavian-inspired decor and lighter painted furniture. We suggest keeping larger storage units and shelving relatively understated so the playful character of the illustration remains the focal point. To complement the organic feel of the leaves and line work, you might introduce a simple wool rug or unbleached cotton curtains, adding subtle physical softness around the room without competing with the detailed brushwork of the mural.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws on a muted palette of umber, warm brown, and soft earthy neutrals, accented by pale blush tones in the ears. To build a cohesive look, we recommend pairing it with soft warm white, chalky oat, or gentle beige on neighbouring walls and woodwork. If you would like to introduce subtle contrast, muted mossy greens picked up from the botanical foliage or a soft dusky terracotta can bring a pleasant warmth to cushions, throws, or a painted chest of drawers.
