Wallpaper - Say Cheese!

Our Say Cheese! wallpaper brings together an endearing group portrait of gentle animal friends, illustrated by Waihoong in a delicate watercolour-inspired style. Centred around a smiling baby elephant crowned with soft blossom flowers, the composition gathers a playful assembly of woodland and safari favourites, including a panda, bear cub, lion, koala, and little hippo against a soft sky-blue backdrop with a faint pastel rainbow. The soft outlines and gentle blush tones give the mural a soothing, storybook quality. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design creates a warm focal point for shared family spaces.

In the room

In a nursery or toddler room, we would position this design on an open, main wall where the entire cast of illustrated animals can be seen at child height. The horizontal group composition naturally anchors the space, making it particularly effective behind a low cot, a toddler bed, or above low toy storage where the artwork remains largely unobstructed.

Because the illustration has a light, airy sky background with gentle pastels, it brings warmth and visual interest to a nursery without feeling overly busy. We see this working beautifully as an accent wall paired with soft neutral walls on the remaining sides, allowing the charming character details to draw the eye.

Styling it

To complement the gentle storybook illustration, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture simple and light. Furniture in painted off-white, light birch, or pale ash creates a harmonious foundation that echoes the airy tones of the artwork.

Soft furnishings in woven cotton or unbleached muslin add cosy visual warmth to the room without competing with the detailed animal figures. Choosing solid-colour textiles or subtle self-textured fabrics helps balance the busy, cheerful gathering of characters on the wall.

Colour combinations

The illustration features a delicate palette of soft porcelain white, warm biscuit, powder blue, blush pink, and gentle pastel yellows and greys.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale cream, or a very light chalky grey provide a calm backdrop that allows the colours in the wallpaper to stand out. If you would like to introduce more colour into the room, soft muted sage, dusty rose, or gentle sky blue on painted shelves, cushions, or low cabinetry pick up the floral and background accents in the mural naturally.
