Wallpaper - Funny Face I

Our Funny Face I wallpaper features a striking photographic portrait of a giraffe, framed closely to focus on its warm, curious expression. Created by Max Blakesberg Studios, the composition highlights rich caramel and brown patches against a soft, muted backdrop, capturing fine details from the textured snout to the long, dark eyelashes. The large scale of the subject gives the animal portrait an immediate sense of personality, while the earthy palette keeps the overall tone grounded and gentle. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang in your home.

In the room

Because the giraffe’s face fills the frame so boldly, we love using this design on an open accent wall where the full photographic detail can be seen from across the room. It works wonderfully as mural wallpapers in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, bringing a friendly character into the space without overwhelming it with overly bright shades. In a playroom, placing the wallpaper along a main play zone gives the room an engaging focal point, while in a nursery or bedroom, positioning it on a wall behind a cot or low bed lets the gentle expression set a calm, grounded mood.

Styling it

To balance the scale of the portrait, we recommend pairing this design with quiet, uncluttered surroundings. Natural timber furniture in warm oak, birch, or pine echoes the organic feel of the photograph, letting the warm tones in the animal's coat connect with the wider room. Soft textiles in washed cotton, wool, or unbleached canvas add subtle texture without competing for attention. Keeping nearby storage and shelving low helps ensure the giraffe's face remains clear and fully visible.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich earthy tones, distinct brown markings, and warm caramel highlights set against soft neutral shades. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from these warm undertones with creamy off-whites, soft biscuit, or muted stone. If you want to introduce subtle contrast through accents or painted joinery, gentle olive or warm sand tones sit alongside the brown patches naturally.
