Wallpaper - Playful Bugs V

Designed by Cheryl Warrick, our Playful Bugs V wallpaper brings a charming, storybook feel to the wall with its stylized insect illustration and organic foliage. Soft teal tones and pastel blue accents set a calm, creative background, while painterly textures and bold graphic lines give the motif its distinct character. We make our mural wallpapers to measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room that calls for a touch of artistic curiosity.

In the room

We love this design for children's spaces where you want something expressive yet visually gentle. In a nursery or toddler room, the soft palette creates a soothing backdrop around a cot or changing area without overwhelming the space. In a dedicated playroom or kids' bedroom, we would place this mural on an open feature wall behind low storage or a reading corner, giving the bug and leaf forms plenty of space to be seen and enjoyed at eye level.

Styling it

Because the artwork features mid-century inspired shapes and a painterly look, we would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to let the illustrated details take centre stage.

• Pair with warm natural woods like birch or light ash furniture to complement the teal and pastel tones without competing for visual attention.
• Incorporate plain, unpatterned fabrics such as soft cotton bedding or plain neutral curtains to balance the bold graphic elements of the print.
• Choose painted furniture in muted off-whites or soft creams to keep the overall look light and cohesive.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a calming palette of teal and pastel blue with subtle tonal variations in the leaf shapes. To create a harmonious space, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with adjacent walls painted in chalky whites, pale sky blue, or soft muted greys. If you prefer a subtle accent colour elsewhere in the room, soft butter yellow or muted sage can draw out the botanical elements while keeping the interior relaxed.
