Wallpaper - Surfing Baby Dino

Our Surfing Baby Dino wallpaper by Carrie Cantwell features a cheerful green dinosaur riding a brown surfboard across stylised blue waves. Designed with bold graphic shapes and a retro screenprint feel, the illustration combines playful character design with a tropical coastal backdrop of palm trees, blue mountains, and gliding white birds. Pink back spikes and a pale green belly bring friendly charm to the main figure, while the balanced mix of ocean blues, leafy greens, and soft brown tones creates an engaging scene. Like all our wallpapers, it is made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper.

In the room

Because the scene is anchored by a clear central character catching a wave, we think this design works best on a main accent wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom. Placing the wall mural behind a cot, low bed, or toy storage bench allows the lower wave graphic to frame the room nicely while keeping the dinosaur, palm trees, and sky clearly visible above. In a dedicated play area, having this friendly character on an open wall brings plenty of visual energy without making the entire space feel overly cluttered.

Styling it

To let the playful illustration stand out, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and functional. Natural light woods or painted white storage pieces fit the coastal, cheerful aesthetic without competing with the bold forms in the print. Soft woven textiles in neutral creams or subtle ocean tones help tie the room together comfortably.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together a fresh palette of fern and mint greens, ocean blues, soft browns, and pale pink accents against a light sky. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-whites or muted pale blues create an airy, open feel. If you prefer to echo the warmer tones of the motif, soft sand colours, blush pinks, or gentle leafy greens on accents and textiles pair naturally with the artwork.
