Wallpaper - Once Upon a Critter I

Our Once Upon a Critter I wallpaper, created by Courtney Prahl, features a stylised woodland fox with a sienna brown body, pointed ears and a soft cream-coloured face. Decorative white swirl patterns detail the fox's form, while gentle grey swirls drift across the clean white background to give the entire composition a light, storybook feel. We've balanced the bold graphic shapes with fine decorative line work, creating a warm and friendly character that stands out clearly in a room. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a nursery, children's bedroom, toddler room or dedicated playroom. Because the fox is a distinct, character-led focal point, we recommend placing this wallpaper on a relatively open wall where the illustration isn't broken up by tall furniture. In a nursery, it sits naturally behind a cot or alongside a small reading nook, while in a children's room, it creates an engaging accent wall behind a low bed. The open white background and delicate background swirls keep the space feeling uncluttered and spacious, making it comfortable even in more compact bedrooms.

Styling it

To complement the gentle storybook illustration, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded:

• Pair the warm sienna tones of the fox with light natural woods such as pale pine or ash to enhance the woodland theme without visual clutter.
• Choose low-profile, simple painted furniture in muted off-white or soft grey that echoes the airy background of the mural.
• Use soft cotton textiles in earthy neutrals or warm terracotta accents on bedlinen and cushions to tie the room's palette together.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on rich sienna brown, soft cream and crisp white, supported by subtle grey detailing in the background. On surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend pairing this design with warm chalky whites, gentle greys or soft stone neutrals. If you want to introduce deeper accent colours through painted trims, shelving or soft furnishings, warm ochre, muted rust and quiet moss green sit naturally alongside the earthy brown tones of the fox.
