Wallpaper Wednesday: Cockatoos by Quentin Blake


I’m feeling very enthusiastic about this Cockatoo wallpaper. It’s by the amazing Quentin Blake who I am sure you all know from his work with Roald Dahl. He’s teamed up with designers Osborne and Little to create this as part of the utterly charming Zagazoo range.

This is fun wallpaper. It’s child-like but not childish, and looking at it I can’t help but feel nostalgic for those years *ahem* gone by when all I did was read Matilda and The Witches.

Fabrics and Papers are stocking this and the rest of the Zagazoo range for and eye-watering £31.73 per metre. But it’s almost justifiable, (almost!) when you think of the fact that it’s serious feature wall material and conversation piece all rolled into one.

    Thank so much for this post.

    I love Quentin Blake and have just bought Quentin's Menagerie from this range for our 2 year old son's room. Can't wait to see it up!

    Big YAY for the Sluts for tracking this down x

    i think this has to be one of my favourite wallpapers. I agree with your comment that it is childlike but not childish. Would love this in a study, or in a hallway - a great converstation starter
