Wallpaper - Forest Life Lilac

Our Forest Life Lilac wallpaper presents a charming gathering of woodland wildlife set against a soft lavender background. Designed by Wandle, this pattern brings together detailed monochrome sketches of animals in an open, organic repeat. You will find a raccoon perched on a branch, a graceful stag, an owl mid-flight, curled foxes, hedgehogs, badgers, and even a small hanging bat scattered throughout the composition. The fine line work and crosshatching give the illustrations an artistic, vintage-inspired look without feeling overly busy. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free material, this design has a subtle structure in the paper that complements the hand-drawn feel of the artwork.

In the room

We love this wallpaper for children's bedrooms, nurseries, and playrooms where a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere is desired. Because the motif is spread out across a calm lilac field rather than packed edge-to-edge, it works wonderfully across all four walls without overwhelming the space. In a larger living room or a bedroom in a cabin or vacation home, it serves as an engaging feature wall behind a bed or low seating. The lighter background keeps the room feeling airy, while the intricate animal illustrations reward closer looking, making it especially delightful in spaces where you spend quiet, seated time.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm so the illustrated animals remain the visual focus. Simple furniture in painted off-white or natural light wood tones pairs naturally with the vintage storybook character of the drawing. Soft, unpatterned fabrics on bedding or upholstery help balance the fine detail of the repeat, letting the wallpaper stand out as the primary decorative feature in the room.

Color combinations

The palette is built around a gentle pastel lavender backdrop paired with cream and charcoal sketched line work. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, trim, or cabinetry, we suggest pairing it with soft warm white, pale grey, or muted cream to echo the lighter tones in the illustration. For a slightly bolder contrast, deeper plum tones, dusty rose, or muted charcoal can be pulled from the linework to frame the room through painted woodwork or larger furniture pieces.
