Penguin wallpaper is a wall covering built around penguin characters and cool, icy scenes. It is fun without being loud. It works in nurseries, kids rooms, playrooms and bathrooms. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size.
Why Penguin Wallpaper Suits Australian Homes
Little penguins live along the southern coast here, so the bird is a local one. The palette is useful too. In a hot climate, pale blue, white and grey make a room feel cooler than a warm colour would. In a bright north-facing room the tones stay clean rather than glaring. Our inks hold their colour in strong light.
- Nurseries: a few soft birds above the cot.
- Kids rooms: an ice scene behind the bed.
- Playrooms: bold shapes and bright colour.
- Bathrooms: a full scene in a small space.
Rooms That Suit a Penguin Mural
Start with one wall, not four. Above the cot works in a nursery. Behind the bed works in a kids room. In an open plan home, one playful wall can mark out a kids corner. Keep the other walls plain and the space stays calm.
Pairing It With Your Furniture
These murals sit well beside pale timber, rattan and linen. Cream and warm white keep a small room light. Soft grey echoes the ice. Mustard or coral adds a warm pop. Keep bedding plain, as the wall is already the feature.
Styles in This Collection
You will find soft watercolour birds, bold cartoon shapes, fine ink drawings and full ice scenes. Some are quiet enough for a nursery and some are made for a playroom. For snow, ice and cool blues across a whole wall, browse our snow wallpaper designs. For a room that will last, pick a simple bird from the kids room range and skip the busy scenes.
Peel and Stick or Paste the Wall
Most designs come both ways. Peel and stick is self-adhesive and easy to remove. That makes it a good pick for renters in Sydney or Melbourne. It also suits a kids room that will change in a few years. Paste the wall suits a wall you plan to keep.
A Note on Bathrooms
Keep the paper clear of the shower and the bath. Steam gets behind the edges in time. On a dry wall it will stay put for years, even in a busy family bathroom.
Samples and Australia-Wide Delivery
Pale blues and greys are hard to judge on a screen. Order a sample first and tape it up. Check it by day and again with the night light on. We have shipped these designs from Perth to the Gold Coast. Buyers often pick the calmer version once they see both. When you are ready, your custom size mural ships free Australia wide.

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.
