Penguin Wallpaper

Penguin wallpaper is a wall covering built around penguin characters and icy scenes. It is playful, but the colours stay calm. It suits nurseries, children's rooms, playrooms and cloakrooms. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall.

Why Penguin Wallpaper Works in British Homes

Bedrooms here are often small, and this palette helps. Black, white and pale blue keep a tight room feeling open. The designs also suit a shared room, as they do not lean boy or girl. In a north-facing room, warm the scheme up with oak and cream so the ice tones do not feel chilly.

Want more creatures in the same soft palette? Our animal wallpaper collection runs from woodland to jungle. The penguin is one of the calmest of them all.

Nurseries, Children's Rooms and Rentals

Nurseries and Small Bedrooms

Keep it soft in a nursery. A few birds on a pale ground above the cot is plenty. In a Victorian terrace the chimney breast is the natural spot. In a loft room, choose a design that still reads under a sloped ceiling.

Rented Flats and New Builds

A flat new build wall suits a wide ice scene, as there is no detail to compete with. Renting in London or Manchester? Take the peel and stick option. It lifts off at the end of a tenancy without pulling the paint. The rest of our removable wallpaper range behaves the same way.

What to Pair With It

Cream and warm white keep a small room light. Soft grey and pale blue echo the ice. Mustard or coral adds a warm pop. Oak and cane keep things natural. Keep bedding plain so the birds lead the room.

Scale is worth a thought. A wide scene needs a clear wall to be seen. A room broken up by wardrobes suits a small repeat instead. Then the pattern still reads in glimpses.

  • Nurseries: a few soft birds above the cot.
  • Children's rooms: an ice scene behind the bed.
  • Playrooms: bold shapes and bright ice blue.
  • Cloakrooms: a full scene in a small space.

FAQs

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

Measure the wall's width and height, adding 2–4 inches for trimming. Check for obstacles like windows or doors and note their dimensions. Double-check measurements before ordering!

How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!

Is penguin wallpaper suitable for a nursery?

Very much so. Soft watercolor penguin families on pale blue or cream grounds are gender-neutral and calming, and the simple high-contrast shapes genuinely hold a baby's attention. Place the design behind the crib or on the wall you face from the feeding chair.

Will my child outgrow a penguin mural quickly?

Less quickly than most themes. Penguins read as funny rather than babyish, so they carry from newborn to primary school age. Choosing a realistic Antarctic landscape rather than a cartoon design extends the life of the room even further.

What colors work with a penguin mural?

Icy blue, glacier white and soft gray are the natural partners. Warm the scheme with oak furniture, cream bedding and one accent color such as mustard or terracotta, which stops an all-blue room from feeling cold.

Can I get the mural printed to my exact wall size?

Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print one continuous design scaled to fit, so no birds are cropped at the edges and no panel joins run through the middle of a face. Measure to the widest and tallest points.

Is it easy to remove when tastes change?

Peel and stick is the sensible choice in a child's room. It is self-adhesive and removable, lifting off cleanly without damaging paint, so you can redecorate when penguins are replaced by whatever comes next. Paste-the-wall suits longer-term rooms.
