Wallpaper - Funny Face I

Our Funny Face I wallpaper by Max Blakesberg Studios brings a close-up photographic portrait of a giraffe straight into the room. The composition focuses entirely on the animal's gentle expression, highlighting its large, dark eyes, long lashes, and the detailed pattern of caramel and brown patches across its lighter coat. A soft, blurred outdoor background keeps the visual emphasis on the face, creating an endearing and playful presence on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings personality and warmth into your home in an easy-to-hang format.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where a friendly animal motif adds an inviting sense of fun. Because the photograph is framed closely around the giraffe's face, the visual scale is bold and expressive. We recommend placing it on a main feature wall, such as behind a cot, low bed, or central play area, giving the portrait enough open space to be appreciated without being crowded by tall wardrobes or shelving. In a shared family room or bedroom, it creates an instant focal point that brings a touch of wildlife into everyday living.

Styling it

To complement the photographic subject, we would keep surrounding furnishings simple and grounded. Natural wood furniture in warm, mid-toned finishes pairs effortlessly with the earthy palette of the giraffe's coat. Keeping large storage pieces and low tables in clean silhouettes ensures the focus remains on the portrait itself. For soft furnishings, we like incorporating woven textiles, soft oatmeal throws, or unbleached canvas cushions to balance the warm tones without competing with the detailed photographic print.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich caramel and deeper brown tones set against creamy, lighter fur, with soft, muted earthy greens in the blurred background. Around this motif, we suggest working with warm neutral wall paints on adjacent surfaces, such as soft biscuit, warm stone, or muted linen. For accent pieces and smaller decor, earthy terracotta or muted olive tones echo the outdoor palette of the print, tying the entire space together naturally.
