Wallpaper - Ducks in the Snow VIII

In our Ducks in the Snow VIII wallpaper, artist Yvette St. Amant brings a playful winter scene to life with two skating white ducks set against a cool, snowy steel blue backdrop. One duck glides across the ice in a snowflake-print dress, while the other wears patterned pants and a striped scarf, carrying a small branch with red berries. Soft white snowflake dots drift throughout the composition, balanced by bright orange beaks and skates that add warm accent notes to the cool palette. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a charming storybook aesthetic for children's spaces.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an accent wall in a nursery, toddler bedroom, or playroom. Because the motif centers around the two skating characters, we recommend placing it on a relatively open wall where low furniture, such as a crib, toddler bed, or toy storage bench, leaves the illustrated ducks clearly in view. In a larger playroom, using wall murals like this behind a dedicated reading nook or activity corner helps anchor that specific zone without overwhelming the rest of the room. The cool steel blue backdrop maintains a calm, airy atmosphere while the charming figures provide gentle visual interest for everyday play.

Styling it

To complement the storybook character of the design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings clean and light. Simple white painted furniture or pale, unfinished wood pieces like birch or ash help echo the snowy tones and let the wallpaper remain the focal point. Soft textiles in cream, heather gray, or navy work well for rugs and bedding, while smaller accents in burnt orange, berry red, or mustard yellow can pick up the warm details found in the ducks' outfits and skates.

Color combinations

The primary palette of our wallpaper features steel blue, soft icy blues, crisp white, and subtle touches of red and orange. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend pairing this pattern with soft off-whites, pale gray-blue, or muted slate. Trim painted in a clean, soft white keeps the overall look fresh and bright. If you want to introduce contrasting elements through furniture or decor, warm earthy shades like rust, ochre, or terracotta provide a lovely balance to the cool winter backdrop.
