Wallpaper - Ducks in the Snow VIII

Our Ducks in the Snow VIII wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings an illustrated winter scene to the wall, featuring two white ducks gliding across a cool steel blue background dotted with soft snowflakes. One duck wears patterned trousers with a striped scarf while carrying a small branch with red berries, and the other glides in a snowflake-print dress. Warm orange beaks and feet offer a cheerful contrast against the cool blue and crisp white tones. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love how this playful narrative works in child-friendly spaces. It feels right at home in a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom, where the storybook illustration provides an engaging visual focal point. We also see this working especially well across an accent wall in a playroom, giving the room a lively character without overwhelming the entire space.

Because the ducks create a distinct scenic composition, we recommend placing this wallpaper mural on a relatively uninterrupted wall, such as behind a cot, low bed, or toy storage bench. Keeping taller bookcases or wardrobes along adjacent walls ensures that the skating figures and snowflake details remain fully visible.

Styling it

To complement the charming illustrative style, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture fairly simple and clean-lined. Painted white furniture or light natural birch pieces pair naturally with the cool background and let the characters stand out.

Soft textiles in muted blues, heathered greys, or gentle cream tones balance the cool background nicely, while small accents in rust, red, or warm terracotta can subtly echo the berries and orange details in the illustration.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around cool steel blue, crisp white, and deep slate outlines, accented by warm orange beaks and small pops of red.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, pale sky blue, or muted cool greys create a harmonious setting that supports the winter motif. If you prefer a warmer contrast, a gentle oat or soft biscuit tone on surrounding trim can bring out the playful warmth of the orange details.
