Wallpaper - Picnic Time

Created by designer Becky Thorns, our Picnic Time wallpaper features a cheerful horizontal lineup of illustrated cats perched side by side across a crisp white backdrop. Each feline character carries its own distinct charm, dressed in playful accessories from striped sweaters and party hats to bowties, neck scarves, and a whimsical monocle. The composition uses flat illustrative shapes with soft crayon-like textures, combining warm burnt orange, deep charcoal, chocolate brown, and cool slate grey. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, this design brings an engaging, storybook presence to family spaces.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a children's bedroom, toddler room, nursery, or playroom. Because the cats are arranged along a horizontal line across the lower to middle portion of the mural with open white space above, it creates a grounded, friendly border effect. We like placing this design on a feature wall behind a low toddler bed, a toy storage bench, or an open play area where the details sit at eye level for little ones. The clean white background helps the room feel open and bright, while the line of expressive characters anchors the space.

Styling it

To complement the charming illustrative style of Picnic Time, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural blonde or light wood pieces, like birch or ash, pair effortlessly with the warm burnt orange and sandy brown tones in the artwork. We suggest choosing smooth painted finishes in muted neutrals or soft pastels to let the expressive cat illustrations remain the focal point of the room. A simple low-pile rug and uncluttered floor space allow the visual rhythm of the lineup to be enjoyed without distraction.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper brings together a balanced mix of burnt orange, warm gingerbread, rich chocolate brown, charcoal black, and soft grey, highlighted with subtle touches of mint green and coral pink on the accessories. For adjacent painted walls, a clean warm white creates a seamless extension of the background. If you want to introduce more color on surrounding surfaces or woodwork, a soft sage green, pale terracotta, or warm stone will echo the cozy accessories without overwhelming the motif.
