Wallpaper - When Dinosaurs Roamed

Our When Dinosaurs Roamed wallpaper, created by designer Carrie Cantwell, brings an imaginative prehistoric world to life around planet Earth floating in space. A playful gathering of colorful dinosaurs circles the globe, including a bright red dinosaur with vibrant orange back plates, an earthy brown dinosaur with a wide neck frill, and a gentle green sauropod stretching toward the blue and green continents. Set against a clean white backdrop, the painted illustrative style and lively mix of greens, blues, oranges, and warm browns create an engaging focal point for children's spaces. Like all our wall murals, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love this design for a playroom, nursery, or toddler's bedroom where creative storytelling naturally takes center stage. Because the composition gathers dinosaurs in a loose circular orbit around the central Earth, the mural works best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full prehistoric scene can unfold without being cut off by high wardrobes.

In a playroom, placing this wallpaper along an open play area gives little ones a fun, graphic landscape to look at from the floor. For a child's bedroom, installing it on the main feature wall behind a low bed or reading nook creates a cheerful backdrop while leaving room for low toy storage beneath the primary figures.

Styling it

Because the illustration features rich primary and secondary tones against a crisp white ground, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the characters stand out.

• Choose light, warm wood furniture, such as natural birch or pale ash storage units, to complement the earthy greens and browns in the illustration without competing with the vibrant figures.
• Use simple, solid-toned textiles on bedding or window treatments, picking up on the soft moss green or sky blue from the globe to tie the room together.
• Add low shelving and neutral floor baskets that keep clutter contained below the main illustration, leaving the artwork visible and engaging from across the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper brings together a lively palette of rich red, sunny orange, earthy brown, moss green, and planetary blue against a clean white background.

To create a balanced surrounding space, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with soft, warm white or pale sky-blue paint on the adjacent walls. Muted olive or sage green on trim or painted furniture brings out the gentle dinosaur tones, while small accents in warm mustard or terracotta echo the brighter plates and details without overwhelming the room.
