Wallpaper - Forest Life Lilac

Our Forest Life Lilac wallpaper brings together an expressive woodland scene set against a soft lavender backdrop. Designed by Wandle, the pattern features detailed illustrations of wildlife, including a raccoon lounging across a branch, a graceful stag, an owl in flight, badgers, hedgehogs, foxes, and a resting bat. Each creature is rendered in delicate line work that evokes classic printmaking traditions, offering a charming balance between storybook character and heritage appeal. Like all our wall murals and wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the wallpaper paper that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We love how this wallpaper adds narrative character to a space without overwhelming the overall room scheme. The monochrome illustrations and soft purple ground give the pattern an approachable, gentle presence that works wonderfully across all four walls of a nursery, toddler room, or children's bedroom. Because the animal vignettes are distributed evenly across the repeat, the design remains visually engaging whether viewed up close or from across the room.

In a larger living room or a dedicated playroom, we would consider giving this mural wallpaper a feature wall behind lower furniture such as a reading bench or a low sofa. Keeping the wall relatively unobstructed allows the varied scale of the animals, from the small hedgehogs to the upright deer, to create an appealing rhythm across the wall surface.

Styling it

To complement the classic illustrative character of the design, we suggest pairing it with simple, grounded interior elements that let the artwork take centre stage.

• Choose painted furniture in muted off-whites or pale grey-greens, or incorporate light natural timbers like ash or birch to enhance the organic woodland theme.
• Introduce plain woven textiles and linen cushions in neutral tones to balance the detailed linework of the pattern.
• Keep wall decor minimal so the animal vignettes remain the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Forest Life Lilac wallpaper centres on a muted pastel lavender base paired with charcoal and off-white line work. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in storage, soft chalky whites and warm off-whites create a clean, cohesive border that frames the pattern nicely. For a slightly more adventurous interior, muted sage greens, dusty blush pinks, or deep plum accents can pick up on the gentle undertones of the lilac backdrop and add subtle depth to the room.
