Wallpaper - Picnic Life

Illustrated by Becky Thorns, our Picnic Life wallpaper brings together a charming lineup of dog characters standing side by side against a clean white backdrop. Each pup brings its own playful personality, from a poodle with an orange bow and a terrier in a party hat to a dachshund in a striped shirt and a hound wearing a beret. The palette relies on warm earthy tones, including chocolate browns, sandy tans, and soft grays, punctuated by lively accents of teal, coral, and navy. Produced as custom made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an engaging, storybook charm to any space.

In the room

We love this design as a cheerful feature wall in a kids' room, nursery, toddler room, or playroom. Because the dogs form a continuous horizontal lineup with plenty of white space above, it works wonderfully along an open wall where the entire cast can be appreciated from end to end. Placing the mural wallpaper behind a low toddler bed, a toy chest, or a reading bench allows the characters to sit right at child height without getting lost behind tall furniture. In a shared play area, the expansive negative space keeps the room feeling bright and open while giving the playful illustrations room to breathe.

Styling it

To complement the warm, whimsical character of the wall mural, we suggest pairing it with simple, natural elements that let the illustrated personalities stand out.

• Choose natural light wood furniture, such as birch or light ash, to echo the warm beige and tan tones of the pups while keeping the overall nursery or playroom setup light and airy.
• Bring in plain woven textiles in muted tones like soft terracotta, warm taupe, or cream to ground the seating or bedding without competing with the illustrated figures.
• Pick up on the playful accessories in the artwork by introducing a few accent pieces in teal or coral, such as a painted nightstand or decorative storage bins.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built on an earthy foundation of rich brown, warm tan, charcoal, and gentle light gray, lifted by crisp white and cheerful accents of teal green, coral orange, and deep navy blue.

When painting adjacent walls or selecting room trim, a warm off-white or soft alabaster keeps the space bright and lets the white background blend naturally into the surroundings. If you prefer more color, a muted sage green, dusty teal, or soft clay pulled from the dogs' accessories creates a cozy, balanced environment that feels cohesive and thoughtfully designed.
