Wallpaper - Elephants

Created by Chris Paschke, our Elephants wallpaper mural captures a gentle elephant family through expressive, fluid watercolour washes. Soft slate blues, earthy greys, and muted greens define the animals, while warm ochre, coral, and glowing sunset tones illuminate the sky above. The soft bleeding of pigment and fine brush details give this design a dreamy, painterly character that instantly softens a room. As with all our wall murals, the artwork is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang in any living space.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or nursery where its tranquil composition can take centre stage. Because the three elephants create a strong focal point in the lower and central areas of the scene, we would place this mural on a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or a bed frame so the figures remain clearly visible. In a study or home library, the warm sunset tones and rich washes bring an artistic warmth to the background without overpowering smaller furniture pieces.

Styling it

To let the watercolour technique and expressive animals stand out, we suggest keeping large surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural timber furniture in warm oak or ash complements the earthy foreground tones, while upholstered seating in soft oatmeal, stone, or muted denim blue harmonises with the elephants' shaded profiles. A simple low-pile wool rug in a warm neutral helps frame the seating zone without competing with the painterly details on the wall.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around a palette of slate blue, charcoal grey, mossy green, soft coral, and glowing golden ochre. For adjacent walls and painted woodwork, we suggest warm off-white, light biscuit, or muted sandy beige to reflect the warmth of the painted sky. If you prefer a bolder, cosier atmosphere in a bedroom or study, a rich slate blue or deep olive green drawn from the shadows of the illustration creates a seamless, enveloping backdrop around the mural wallpaper.
