Wallpaper - Woodland Whimsy I Black

Designed by Laura Marshall, our Woodland Whimsy I Black wallpaper brings a warm storybook charm to the wall with its dark chalkboard-style backdrop and hand-painted illustration style. At the heart of the design, the hand-lettered phrase "And So The Adventure Begins" is framed by a rich border of forest greenery, autumnal foliage, mushrooms, and woodland creatures, including a bear, hedgehog, and bluebird alongside a cozy campfire scene. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an inviting visual anchor for your space.

In the room

Because of its central quote and border composition, we see this wall mural working best on a focal wall where the entire scene can be admired without heavy visual interruptions. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa or along a main open wall allows the lettering and intricate perimeter details to frame the seating area naturally. The dark charcoal background adds depth to the room while making the warm golden-yellow, soft green, and berry-red details stand out clearly.

Styling it

To complement the earthy illustrative style of this wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents in warm, natural finishes.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as honey-toned oak or rustic pine, to echo the forest motifs and golden foliage in the illustration.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and textiles in soft, neutral tones like warm cream, oatmeal, or muted olive green to let the dark mural wallpaper remain the primary statement piece.
• Incorporate simple lighting with warm-toned bulbs to highlight the chalk-textured depth and luminous paint details of the artwork during the evening.

Colour combinations

The motif is anchored by a textured black-to-charcoal background, layered with warm tones of ochre yellow, soft olive and moss greens, rich brown, muted red berries, and creamy white chalk accents. When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim, warm off-whites, soft greys, or muted forest greens harmonize naturally with the border illustration without competing with the central quote.
