Wallpaper - Surfing Brontosaurus

Our Surfing Brontosaurus wallpaper, created by Carrie Cantwell, brings a playful character to the wall with an illustration of a long-necked blue dinosaur riding an orange surfboard. Set against a clean, light beige background, the scene captures the brontosaurus catching a frothy blue and white wave with a watercolor-inspired look. The graphic contrast between the denim blue tones, crisp white water, and bright orange board creates a clear, cheerful focal point without overwhelming the surrounding space. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each order is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We especially like this design for a children's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom where you want to introduce an imaginative theme. Because the illustration centers on a dynamic wave and a single large character, we suggest placing our wallpaper on an open accent wall, such as behind a low toddler bed or across an active play zone, so the full surfing motif remains visible. The neutral beige backdrop also allows the design to sit comfortably in a family bathroom, adding a lighthearted ocean feel across the main wall without clashing with existing tiles.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the illustration, we would surround this wall mural with simple, grounded furniture:

• Choose light, natural wood or white-painted furniture to complement the neutral beige background and keep the room bright.
• Introduce soft ocean-toned textiles, like denim blue cushions or pale blue bedding, to echo the palette of the cresting wave.
• Use small orange or warm terracotta decorative accents around the room to pick up the bright color of the surfboard.

Colour combinations

The motif combines denim blues and seafoam tones with frothy white, a clear orange surfboard, and a soft beige base. When decorating the rest of the room, we suggest pulling the sandy beige tone onto adjacent walls or painted trim for a cohesive, balanced look. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites or soft sky-blue painted surfaces will highlight the fresh, aquatic character of the artwork while keeping the overall palette light.
