Wallpaper - Bedtime Tales, Stone Gray

Our Bedtime Tales wallpaper in stone grey sets an imaginative storybook scene across the wall. Floating through a soft, starry sky filled with drifting clouds, a large teal whale carries a crew of forest friends, including a moose with a fishing line, a bear, a fox, and a rabbit. Nearby, two children rest quietly on a glowing crescent moon. The gentle watercolour-like illustration and muted stone grey backdrop give the playful motif a balanced, peaceful feel that suits children's bedrooms and nurseries. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper, it brings a sense of wonder while remaining subtle on the wall.

In the room

We love this design for a nursery, toddler room, or shared children's bedroom where you want to foster imagination without overwhelming the space. Because the illustration forms a sweeping narrative composition, we recommend placing it along a main, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a cot or low bed, so the full floating whale and crescent moon remain in clear view. The gentle stone grey backdrop also allows it to transition smoothly into playrooms, keeping the room visually light while providing a captivating focal point for bedtime stories.

Styling it

To complement the whimsical Scandinavian illustration style, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with light, natural furniture finishes.

• Choose light wood elements, such as birch or pale ash, for cots, shelving, and storage to echo the natural warmth of the forest animals.
• Keep surrounding bedding and curtains in soft, muted neutrals or washed cotton textures to maintain an airy, restful atmosphere.
• Pick up on the teal whale and pastel accents with small decorative touches, like painted wooden book ledges or a simple nightlight.

Colour combinations

The stone grey background provides a quiet, versatile foundation that balances the deeper teal of the whale and the softer pastel tones of the surrounding stars and animals. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites, warm greys, or muted slate blues that mirror the sky motif. Soft sage or understated pastel accents also harmonise well with the illustration without competing with the central artwork.
