Wallpaper - Picnic Life

Our Picnic Life wallpaper brings together a delightful lineup of illustrated dogs, designed by Becky Thorns. Ranging from curly-haired poodles to floppy-eared hounds, each character is rendered with playful painted-style details, including charming little accessories like bows, party hats, neckerchiefs, and berets. Set against a clean white background, the earthy brown, grey, and tan tones of the pups create a warm and friendly visual rhythm across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an instant sense of warmth and storybook cheer to any room.

In the room

We particularly love this design in children's rooms, nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms. Because the illustrated characters line up in a horizontal arrangement with plenty of open space above, the wallpaper works exceptionally well along a wider feature wall where the full cast of dogs can be seen together. Placing this mural along a low wall area behind a toddler bed, a low toy storage bench, or a reading corner keeps the characters at an engaging height for little ones while leaving the upper portion of the wall feeling airy and uncluttered.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the charming illustrated characters, we suggest pairing this design with simple furniture shapes and natural textures.

• Choose lighter wood finishes or soft white-painted furniture to complement the crisp background without overpowering the illustrated details.
• Bring in simple cotton or wool textiles that pick up on the warm earthy tones of the dogs, such as muted browns, warm biscuits, or subtle grey notes.
• If you want a fun pop of contrast, introduce small decor accents inspired by the dogs' accessories, such as a muted teal cushion or a subtle terracotta throw.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around a versatile palette of earthy browns, rich chocolates, sandy tans, and soft greys, set against a solid white backdrop. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites and creamy neutrals create a gentle, seamless transition. If you prefer to introduce more colour into the space, soft sage greens, warm clay tones, or gentle sky blues make lovely complementary shades for woodwork, skirting boards, or adjoining walls.
