Penguin Wallpaper

What Penguin Wallpaper Is and Why It Works

Penguin wallpaper is a wall covering built around penguin characters and icy scenes. It is playful, but the palette stays calm. That is why it works in nurseries, kids rooms and playrooms. Black, white and soft blue are easy colors to live with.

Giffywalls prints every mural to the exact size of your wall. We print these designs for nurseries all year, and they go into playrooms and bathrooms too. The thing parents ask us most is how long a child will like it. A simple penguin on a soft ground lasts far longer than a busy cartoon scene.

Why This Bird Suits a Kids Room

Most animal murals bring a lot of color with them. This one does not.

A penguin is black and white. The scene around it is usually pale blue, gray or cream. So the room stays calm while the wall is still fun. That makes it easy to decorate around. It also suits a shared room, since it does not lean boy or girl.

Where These Murals Work Best

Nurseries

Keep it soft. A few birds on a pale ground above the cot is plenty. Add cream bedding and pale wood. The room reads gentle, not busy.

Kids Rooms

Older children like a story. An ice scene with a huddle of birds gives them something to look at. Put it behind the bed and keep the other walls plain.

Playrooms

This is the place for the bold version. Bright ice blue and cartoon shapes suit a room made for noise.

Bathrooms and Cloakrooms

A small space can take a whole scene. Keep the paper off the wet zone around the bath and it will be fine.

Pattern Scale Matters

Scale counts as much as subject. A wide ice scene needs a clear wall to be read. Above a cot or behind a bed is ideal. Got a wall cut up by doors and shelves? Take a small repeat of birds instead. It still works when only parts of it show.

Styles You Will Find Here

You will find soft watercolor birds, bold cartoon shapes, fine ink drawings and full ice scenes with snow and sea. Some are quiet enough for a nursery. Others are loud and fun. For more creatures in the same palette, our animal wallpaper range is worth a look, and the snow wallpaper designs pair with these beautifully.

Colors to Build Around

The palette does half the work for you. Cream and warm white keep a small room light. Soft gray and pale blue echo the ice. Mustard or coral adds a warm pop if the room feels too cool. Oak, cane and wool all sit well beside it. One thing to watch is too much bright blue. It can make a north-facing room feel chilly, so warm it up with wood and soft textiles.

Sizing, Finish and Fitting

Send us the width and height of your wall. We scale the art to match, so no bird lands half cut in a corner. That matters here, because a chopped face is the first thing a child notices. Choose peel and stick for a removable wallpaper finish that lifts off when the room changes. Choose paste the wall if the room is staying as it is. Panels arrive numbered. Shipping is free on every order.

Order a Sample First

Pale blues and grays are hard to judge on a screen. One can look warm on a phone and cold on the wall. Order a sample and tape it up. Check it by day and again with the night light on. In a nursery that second look matters most.

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.
