Wallpaper - Elephants by the Water Hole - Watercolor Landscapes Series

Our Elephants by the Water Hole wallpaper brings a serene savanna landscape into the room with the delicate touch of watercolor painting. Soft, painterly brushstrokes capture a gentle elephant family gathered by a calm water hole, with a larger elephant and two young calves drinking beneath an open sky. Warm tones of sand, orange, and earthy yellow fill the open plains, while green acacia trees rest along the distant horizon. The quiet reflection of the gray elephants in the clear water gives the scene an inviting, artistic balance. Like all our wallpapers, this mural design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of its scenic horizontal composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the landscape has space to unfold. In a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom, the gentle animal motif creates a comforting and imaginative backdrop that feels soft rather than overwhelming. The design also translates beautifully into a living room, guest room, or bedroom, where the painterly watercolor style and earthy tones establish a grounded, nature-inspired focal point behind a bed or low sofa.

Styling it

To complement the watercolor aesthetic, we suggest pairing this design with simple furniture shapes and natural textures that do not compete with the scenic landscape.

• Keep large furniture pieces in warm or light wood tones to echo the golden savanna grasses without darkening the room.
• Choose soft, tactile textiles like washed cotton or unbleached canvas in neutral, sandy shades for bedding, cushions, or curtains.
• Position lower-profile furniture along the wallpapered wall so the elephants and water reflection remain visible as the main visual highlight.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper balances warm earthy yellows, sands, and soft terracotta tones with cool sky blues and muted foliage greens. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest picking up the sandy and warm beige tones for adjacent painted walls or baseboards to create a smooth transition. Muted greens and soft slate grays from the acacia trees and elephant figures also work well on accent pieces, rugs, or upholstery, grounding the warmer field tones across the rest of the room.
