Wallpaper - Sending Smiles

Our Sending Smiles wallpaper, designed by Lindley Wiesner, centres on a cheerful sun motif with a smiling face, rosy cheeks, and an energetic red-orange scalloped border. Radiant dotted rays in shades of blue, pink, green, and orange extend across a soft, blended sunshine yellow background, accompanied by the uplifting phrase "Sending Smiles". With its retro 1970s character and playful crayon-like drawing quality, this design brings bright graphic warmth to family spaces. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We love how this design naturally anchors a room, making it especially well suited to a nursery, toddler room, children's bedroom, or dedicated play room. Because the central sun and radiating dotted beams create a distinct focal point, we recommend placing this wallpaper on a primary feature wall, such as behind a cot, low bed frame, or an open play area. Giving the design a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full circular motif and outgoing rays to spread freely without getting cropped by tall storage units or bulky wardrobes. In spaces with plenty of daylight, the vibrant yellow base and colourful rays create a joyful, welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.

Styling it

The expressive retro charm and bold illustrative lines of our mural wallpapers pair naturally with clean, unfussy furnishings. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively light and grounded, using warm birch, light pine, or simple painted white pieces that let the graphic sunshine carry the main visual interest.

To complement the playful palette without overwhelming the space, incorporate soft cotton or wool accessories in solid tones drawn directly from the design, such as gentle sky blue, coral pink, or soft meadow green. Curved accents, round cushions, or circular rugs echo the scalloped circular form of the sun and tie the whole room together comfortably.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper features a sunshine yellow backdrop accented with red-orange, soft blue, bubblegum pink, fresh green, and bright orange. When painting adjacent walls, we suggest pairing this design with a soft warm white, gentle cream, or an understated pastel derived from the ray pattern, such as pale blush or subtle sage. For trims, skirting boards, and window sills, crisp white or a soft, warm neutral provides a clean frame that keeps the primary yellow tone looking fresh and balanced.
