Wallpaper - Picking Good Times

Designed by Veronique Charron, our Picking Good Times wallpaper brings together classic coastal charm and graphic poster styling. The composition centers on an illustrated shorebird framed by a rope oval, accompanied by a subtle compass rose and weathered typography that reads "Feel the breeze and be at ease." Distressed screenprint-inspired lettering in sky blue and faded coral red frames the illustration against a warm cream backdrop, balanced by teal and earthy brown accents. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an inviting, nostalgic focal point with distinct character.

In the room

With its strong central illustration and prominent typography, we love this design as a dedicated accent wall where the full graphic composition can be seen without heavy obstruction. It works exceptionally well in an entryway, staircase, or hallway, welcoming guests with a relaxed, breezy tone. The motif also feels right at home in a vacation home bedroom or a powder room, where the vintage coastal character instantly anchors the space. Because the artwork functions like an oversized vintage print, we recommend placing it on a wall that allows the central bird and lettering to remain unobstructed by tall storage units or large headboards.

Styling it

The graphic, mid-century Americana feel of this mural wallpaper pairs naturally with relaxed, casual furnishings and coastal elements.

• Pair with warm wood tones or painted furniture, such as classic white shiplap walls or soft sage millwork, to echo the easygoing coastal heritage.
• Keep surrounding patterns minimal so the bold typographic elements and bird illustration remain the clear visual center of the room.
• Introduce woven textures, such as rope mirrors, wicker accents, or woven basket storage, to complement the illustrated rope border.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper combines sky blue, teal, faded coral, soft earth brown, and a weathered cream background. For adjacent painted walls, a soft antique white or warm cream creates a cohesive, light background that lets the central panel stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, pick up the sky blue or slate blue from the lettering on surrounding trim, wainscoting, or interior doors. Muted terracotta or soft tan accents in nearby ceramics and textiles also tie in smoothly with the earthy tones of the bird and warm text.
