Wallpaper - Surfing Brontosaurus

Our Surfing Brontosaurus wallpaper pairs playful character illustration with clean, graphic line work, designed by Carrie Cantwell. The motif features a blue brontosaurus riding an orange surfboard across a frothy wave rendered in layered shades of blue and white, all set against a calm, warm beige backdrop. The painted, watercolour-inspired look gives the energetic scene a gentle, hand-crafted feel without overwhelming the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a lighthearted focal point to children's spaces.

In the room

We love this design for a children's bedroom, nursery, playroom, or a family bathroom where an accent wall can set a fun, imaginative tone. Because the artwork centres on a single dynamic scene with plenty of open beige background, it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a bed, cot, or low toy storage. The open composition ensures the room retains a light and airy feel rather than feeling visually crowded, while the clear silhouette of the surfing dinosaur remains visible from across the space.

Styling it

To keep the balance in the room, we would style around the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture in light wood or warm white painted finishes.

• Pair the wall with natural wood tones, such as birch, ash, or light pine, to echo the warm beige background without competing with the illustration.
• Pick up the bright accent colour from the surfboard with small decorative details like an orange cushion, reading lamp, or patterned throw.
• Keep larger floor coverings and window dressings neutral and textured, using soft creams, oatmeals, or warm grey to let the blue and orange hues lead the visual palette.

Colour combinations

The illustration combines denim and coastal blues with crisp white crests, a bright pop of tangerine orange on the surfboard, and a neutral, sand-toned beige backdrop. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites and soft creams create an easy, cohesive flow. If you want a more defined look, pulling out a soft slate blue or a warm sand tone on surrounding trim or cabinetry complements the artwork beautifully.
