MINT ELEPHANT - fairy-tale forest full of animals for kids

Mint-colored light seeps between the slender trunks, and the whole forest gathering has paused for a moment, as if someone had just pushed a branch aside and stepped into the clearing. In the middle stands a huge elephant with skin the color of pale mint, covered in a delicate botanical pattern, and just above him a bird with half-closed eyes has perched. MINT ELEPHANT is a dense children's illustration painted in soft, matte patches of color — greens, turquoise, warm beiges and reddish rust — conceived for one large wall that is meant to be the main picture in the room.

What do you see in the design?

The composition is horizontal and multi-layered. In the foreground grow ferns, grasses, white water lilies and fly agarics with red caps, and among them hide a hedgehog, a squirrel, an iguana and an eagle owl with russet-and-cream plumage. The middle plane is occupied by the mint elephant, next to him a light-colored bear with half-closed eyes, a badger cuddling a small raccoon, a hare with long ears and a fox in russet fur holding a mug. On the right stands a stag with spreading antlers, on the left — a doe with a spotted neck. In the treetops sit owls, a woodpecker and small birds, while orange butterflies and a turquoise dragonfly flit among the leaves. The background is built from vertical trunks in turquoise, sage and beige, lit from above.

What kind of interior does it suit?

It works best in a child's room, on the wall behind the bed. Leave the other walls in warm white or pale sage, choose light birch or oak wood and cream-colored linen; a single russet accent — a basket, a cushion, a lamp — will pick up the fox's fur. You will find more similar scenes among the forest designs for kids from this collection.

In a playroom or a reading nook the design works as a full-wall backdrop above a low bookshelf. The bottom band with ferns and mushrooms then falls at the child's eye level, so there is plenty to look at while playing on the rug.

In a preschool, a children's clinic waiting room or a family café this scene sets a calm, friendly mood and holds its own next to simple, light furniture. If you are looking for a calmer background, compare it with lighter, less dense forest scenes.

What scale and how to crop it?

On a typical wall, the elephant's head is roughly the size of a young child, and the stag's antlers reach the top edge of the picture. The center of gravity lies in the middle, on the elephant and the fox, so that is the part worth leaving uncovered. The bottom twenty-odd centimeters are dense undergrowth — you can cover them with a bed, a chest of drawers or a toy chest without losing anything. On a narrower wall, crop symmetrically from the sides, giving up first the owl on the right and the falcon on the left; on a lower wall, cut from the bottom. You set the cropping for your own wall size in the “Calculate price and order” configurator on this product page.

Which material to choose?

I recommend Mura Vinyl Canvas, with its natural canvas texture — the soft, painterly patches of color and the matte background gain the look of a real painting on it, and washable, durable vinyl matters on a wall where a child plays. It is also the most frequently chosen material for bedrooms and kids' rooms. If you prefer a surface without a vinyl layer, choose Mura Natur — a natural, eco-friendly non-woven material, perfectly matte, odorless and hypoallergenic; it scatters focused light, so the turquoise trunks will not glare under a lamp. You will see the full list of materials with the price per square meter in the “Calculate price and order” configurator on this product page.
