Wallpaper - Ducks in the Snow I

Our Ducks in the Snow I wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a cheerful winter narrative to the wall with four white ducks bundled in cozy scarves, boots, and a green hat. Set against a soft powder blue ground with falling white snowflakes, the motif is grounded by small sprigs, winter foliage, and red and brown berries along the lower edge. The painted collage character gives the figures clear silhouettes and a lighthearted personality, while the bright orange-red beaks and legs add small, vibrant focal points. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings storybook warmth to residential spaces.

In the room

We love this design for spaces dedicated to children, including nurseries, toddler rooms, kids' bedrooms, and playrooms. The composition places the main character detail along the lower half of the wall, which makes it particularly engaging at child height. In a nursery or toddler room, we suggest placing this wallpaper on a feature wall behind a crib or low bed, allowing the ducks to create an imaginative backdrop without overwhelming the entire space.

Because the powder blue background is open and calm, the motif also works nicely in a family bathroom or a playful hallway nook. The gentle repeat of falling snowflakes keeps the upper portion of the wall feeling airy, so the design never feels crowded, even in rooms with lower ceilings or smaller footprints.

Styling it

To balance the playful nature of the illustration, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with simple furniture lines and quiet, natural finishes. Painted furniture in warm white, soft cream, or muted grey lets the illustrated characters remain the center of attention.

Lighter wood tones, such as birch or pale pine, complement the soft blue backdrop without adding visual heaviness. For textiles like bedding, rugs, and curtains, solid weaves in off-white, light oatmeal, or muted chambray echo the winter theme while keeping the room feeling calm and cohesive.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its soft powder blue base, clean white figures, and accents of forest green, berry red, and warm brown.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend looking to the design's own palette:

• Soft off-whites and pale creams keep surrounding surfaces bright and match the clean tone of the ducks and snowflakes.
• Muted powder blues create a continuous, soothing look across adjoining walls.
• Deep forest greens or rich berry reds work well as small accent colors on picture frames, shelving, or small storage units to mirror the cozy winter accessories in the motif.
