Wallpaper - Oak Hill Slumber, Sky Blue

Our Oak Hill Slumber wallpaper in Sky Blue brings a gentle storybook scene to life across the wall. Designed by Irina Chikati, the motif centres on a grand oak tree where a sleeping fox rests peacefully in the hollow at its base. Higher up in the branches, owls doze, a raccoon peers out, and squirrels and birds settle among the leafy limbs. Dainty blue bunting garlands stretch between the boughs alongside a swaying beehive, while kites drift softly through the pale sky above a wildflower meadow. Rendered in delicate shades of sky blue, soft grey, and warm beige, this design pairs detailed storytelling with a quiet, balanced palette. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and make a charming focal point in children's spaces.

In the room

We love this design for a nursery, toddler room, child's bedroom, or playroom. Because the scene builds upwards from the wildflower meadow at the base to the branches and drifting kites above, we suggest placing it on a relatively open wall where the full height of the tree can be appreciated. Placing the design behind a cot, low toddler bed, or reading nook keeps the sleeping animals at eye level for little ones while allowing the lighter sky and leafy canopy to create a sense of height in the room.

In larger rooms, our mural wallpapers work wonderfully as a main feature wall, bringing character and narrative depth without overwhelming the rest of the space. In smaller rooms or cosy playrooms, the soft pastel sky and muted tones prevent the detailed illustration from feeling crowded, maintaining an airy and gentle atmosphere.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with light, natural finishes that complement its soft woodland mood. Painted furniture in soft off-white, warm cream, or pale grey harmonises effortlessly with the background tones. If you prefer natural materials, light wood furniture, such as pale ash or light birch, echoes the organic feel of the oak tree without adding visual heaviness.

Keep surrounding textiles simple and tactile. Unfussy cotton or linen bedding in neutral oatmeal or soft chalky blue lets the detailed illustrations take centre stage. To maintain a calm and cohesive space, choose low-profile storage and open shelving that leave the lower half of the mural visible, allowing the sleeping woodland creatures to stay part of the daily story.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around soft sky blue, steel blue, misty grey, and warm sandy beige, grounded by gentle accents of woodland brown and leafy green.

For adjacent walls and skirting, we recommend soft off-whites, warm chalk, or pale grey to keep the room light and cohesive. If you want to introduce a subtle accent colour through painted woodwork, curtains, or cushions, a muted dusty blue or a warm, soft taupe drawn directly from the branches creates a balanced and harmonious scheme.
