Wallpaper - Sticking My Neck Out

Our Sticking My Neck Out wallpaper brings together smiling cartoon giraffes with brown spots, leafy palm trees, and soft pastel rainbows in gentle pink, beige, and green tones against a crisp white background. The giraffes appear in varying poses across an open, rhythmic repeat, accented by small pink dots that scatter playfully between the motifs. The flat illustrative style and block-print-inspired character give the design a lighthearted, youthful charm that feels lively without overwhelming the eye. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom. Because the white background keeps the overall visual weight light, the pattern can easily wrap around all four walls of a smaller room without feeling crowded. The repeated animal motifs and soft rainbow arches also make it a natural choice for an accent wall behind a crib or a toddler bed, creating an engaging focal point where children can spot the different giraffe poses. In a shared playroom or creative corner, the open spacing allows low bookcases, toy storage, and wall shelves to sit comfortably against the pattern without cutting off large, intricate figures.

Styling it

The warm brown tones of the giraffes and palm trunks pair naturally with light wood furniture such as birch, ash, or natural pine. We would keep the surrounding pieces simple in form to balance the playful character of the motif.

For bedding and soft furnishings, we like introducing solid textiles that pull from the pastel rainbow palette, such as muted blush, soft moss green, or natural unbleached cotton. Choosing smooth, unpatterned fabrics helps the illustrated wallpaper remain the main graphic element in the room while maintaining a calm, cohesive environment.

Color combinations

The pattern centers around a clean white base, light brown giraffe spots and tree trunks, palm green leaves, and soft rainbow bands in beige, blush pink, and muted green.

To build an easy palette around our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with warm off-white, soft sand, or pale beige on adjacent walls and baseboards. If you prefer a gentle pop of color, a dusty pastel pink or light sage green on a painted dresser, closet door, or window trim echoes the rainbow accents beautifully without competing for attention.
