Wallpaper - Sleeping Fox

In our Sleeping Fox wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, a red fox curls up peacefully in tall green grass, surrounded by soft pink and yellow meadow flowers and leafy stems against a warm beige background. What we especially like about this design is the hand-drawn, crayon-like illustration style, which gives the fox's textured coat and the surrounding wildflowers a gentle, nostalgic character with subtle 1970s notes. The earthy palette of rust orange, meadow green, muted yellow, and warm neutral ground creates a soothing woodland scene across the wall. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in a nursery, toddler room, children's bedroom, or a quiet reading corner in a family playroom. The composition places the main illustration nestled lower down in the grass, which makes it feel grounded and comforting behind a cot, a toddler bed, or a low floor cushion. Because the motif has a relaxed, storybook presence rather than an overly busy repeat, it works wonderfully as an accent wall in a compact nursery without feeling overwhelming. In a countryside cottage or a rustic cabin bedroom, our mural wallpapers also bring an inviting storybook charm that feels timeless rather than purely juvenile.

Styling it

To complement the gentle storybook illustration, we would lean into natural materials and warm, simple furniture.

• Unfinished pine, light birch, or warm-toned rattan furniture balance the soft illustrative character of the fox and grass without adding visual clutter.
• Low-profile nursery furniture, such as a natural wood crib or low bookcases, keeps the focus on the sleeping fox motif while keeping the room open.
• Soft cotton bedding, knitted wool throws, or simple linen canopies in neutral oatmeal or pale mustard pick up on the meadow flowers and warm ground.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on an earthy palette of rust orange, leaf green, pale pink, soft yellow, and a warm beige background. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest looking to the surrounding tones:

Pairing adjacent walls with a gentle warm cream, muted oatmeal, or soft parchment paint lets the mural take center stage while keeping the room light and cozy. For woodwork, skirting boards, or built-in shelving, a dusty sage green or warm moss tone creates a lovely connection to the tall grasses in the illustration. If you want a cheerful accent color for cushions, storage baskets, or small furniture, a warm ochre or muted mustard yellow draws directly from the meadow flowers.
