Wallpaper - Cats In Hot Air Ballons

Our Cats In Hot Air Balloons wallpaper brings a playful, graphic charm to the wall with illustrated hot air balloons floating among soft white clouds and small blue birds. Designed by Carrie Cantwell, the pattern features stylised cats peeking out from colourful balloon baskets decorated in orange hearts, blue polka dots, and vibrant multicoloured stripes against a gentle light green backdrop. The bold shapes and cheerful illustrative style give the motif an energetic yet balanced feel across the room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a children's room, toddler room, nursery, or dedicated playroom where a sense of fun and colour is welcome. Because the repeat includes clear individual motifs drifting across an open background, the pattern holds its character well whether placed across a wide feature wall behind a cot or toddler bed, or wrapped around multiple walls in a lively play space. In rooms with lower furniture, such as toy storage boxes or low shelving, the upper floating balloons and flying birds remain prominently visible, keeping the visual movement active higher up on the wall.

Styling it

To keep the room balanced alongside such a colourful motif, we would pair our mural wallpapers with simple painted wooden furniture in off-white, light birch, or soft pine. Choosing storage pieces with clean silhouettes allows the illustrative details in the wallpaper to take centre stage without creating visual clutter.

For surrounding textiles, we suggest pulling directly from the balloon accents by introducing solid-toned cushions, bedspreads, or floor rugs in warm ochre, muted orange, or sky blue rather than competing patterned fabrics.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a palette built on a fresh light green background, complemented by sunny oranges, sky blues, multicoloured details, and crisp white clouds.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting, or woodwork, a soft warm white or pale pistachio creates a quiet, cohesive boundary that supports the green ground. If you prefer a richer contrast on built-in wardrobes or trim, a dusty cobalt blue or warm terracotta pulled from the balloon patterns adds a grounded, cheerful contrast.
