Wallpaper - Once Upon a Critter IV

In our Once Upon a Critter IV wallpaper, designed by Courtney Prahl, a stylized fox takes centre stage with playful charm and graphic clarity. The fox silhouette is filled with rich pink tones and overlaid with delicate white leafy branch patterns, balanced by large cream-coloured eyes and a curled bushy tail. Behind the animal motif, a subtle grey chevron pattern creates a rhythmic backdrop that gives the composition structure without overwhelming the foreground. It is a warm, characterful piece made to measure on our PVC-free paper, bringing distinctive personality and a gentle decorative rhythm to the wall.

In the room

We especially like this design on a main feature wall in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom. Because the fox is a bold, central character motif, placing it on a relatively open wall lets the complete illustration remain visible and anchor the space. In a child's bedroom, positioning the wallpaper behind a cot or low bed frame creates an inviting focal point while leaving room for low storage units that do not block the central artwork. For playrooms, we think the combination of soft pinks and neutral grey chevrons works well across a dedicated play or reading nook, providing visual warmth without making the room feel overly busy.

Styling it

To complement the graphic and contemporary illustration style, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, functional furnishings that let the wall mural carry the visual energy.

• Choose natural light wood furniture, such as birch or light ash, to keep the room feeling airy and grounded.
• Balance the pink tones with warm neutral soft furnishings in cream, oatmeal, or light grey rather than competing multi-coloured patterns.
• Keep wall shelving and decorative storage low to the ground so the central fox motif remains completely unobstructed.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around warm pink, crisp white, soft cream, and muted grey. On adjacent walls, we suggest continuing the gentle mood with warm off-white, chalky pale grey, or an understated blush that mirrors the tones in the fox's body. If you want to introduce a touch of grounding contrast through painted furniture or window frames, deep charcoal or muted slate grey picks up on the chevron line work and sharpens the overall look.
