Wallpaper - Picking Good Times

Designed by Veronique Charron, our Picking Good Times wallpaper brings together graphic coastal typography and vintage Americana illustration. At the heart of the design, a shorebird profile rests within a rope-bordered oval, framed by the hand-lettered phrase "Feel the Breeze and Be at Ease" alongside subtle nautical compass detailing. Weathered textures, screenprint-inspired block shading, and an earthy coastal palette of faded sky blue, teal, coral red, and sandy beige give the artwork its relaxed, mid-century graphic charm. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif is structured around a strong central illustration with prominent lettering, we see this wall mural working best as a dedicated focal point. In an entryway, hallway, or staircase, the vertical poster composition immediately creates character on an otherwise transitional wall. It also suits a bathroom or a seaside holiday home, where the relaxed coastal theme naturally belongs. We would place this design on a wall that allows the central bird medallion and surrounding lettering to remain largely unobstructed by tall furniture, letting the graphic artwork be enjoyed in full.

Styling it

To balance the screenprint-inspired look and bold typography, we recommend keeping surrounding decor grounded and tactile. Weathered or painted white timber pairs effortlessly with the coastal feel, while natural woven textures like jute rugs or rattan baskets echo the rope border detailing. Muted, casual textiles in natural linen or washed cotton complement the print without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a harmonious mix of sun-bleached sky blue, soft teal, muted coral red, and warm earthy browns set against an off-white, textured background. When decorating around this mural wallpaper, soft off-white or cream tones on neighbouring walls will allow the print to stand out cleanly. For accent pieces or painted joinery, pulling out the dusty sky blue or the warm, faded coral red creates an intentional, cohesive palette throughout the space.
