The Peekaboo Pencil Fence Metal Wall Art

The Peekaboo Pencil Fence Metal Wall Art

Five tall pencils line up like a garden fence, and two smiling children and a curious cat peek over the top. It turns drawing tools into a playful game of hide and seek.

The Peekaboo Pencil Fence is an original design from The India Decor, cut from a single sheet of steel so the whole artwork hangs as one connected piece. It is made for play schools, nurseries and kids' spaces, and it is just as much at home in a living room, study or office.

The design story

The artwork shows five tall pencils standing as a garden fence with two smiling children and a cat peeking over the top. Every line was drawn to read clearly as a silhouette, so the scene stays recognisable from across the room and casts a soft shadow onto the wall behind it, adding depth through the day as the light changes.

• Peekaboo faces: two children and a cat peeking between the pencil tips
• Pencil fence: bold sharpened pencils joined on a wavy base
• Bold, readable shapes: no fragile hair-thin parts, so the piece keeps its form at every size

Where it suits

Made for art corners, drawing tables, play school entrances and kids' rooms. Hang it above a craft table or a low cubby shelf.

Little learners notice shapes before words, so a bold silhouette is easy for them to read and talk about. The piece brings warmth to a reception area, a circle-time corner or a nursery wall without the clutter of printed posters, and it gives parents a lasting impression of a thoughtful, well-cared-for space. Mount it above head height so small hands admire it rather than handle it.

Popular spots include entrance and reception walls; circle-time and story corners; activity rooms; and nursery and kids' bedroom walls.

Material and finish

The piece is precision laser-cut from steel and finished in a matte black powder coat. The matte black tone gives a crisp contrast on white, cream, pastel, grey and wooden walls, and the powder coat resists fading and everyday scuffs far better than painted wood or printed canvas. It sits slightly off the wall for a light floating look.

Choosing a size

The Peekaboo Pencil Fence comes in four square sizes: 18 x 18, 24 x 24, 32 x 32, 48 x 48 inch.

• 18 x 18 inch: a compact accent for a desk-side wall, a narrow pillar or a cosy corner
• 24 x 24 inch: fits above a side table, console or small counter
• 32 x 32 inch: a confident centrepiece above a sofa, bench or reception desk
• 48 x 48 inch: a true statement for large feature walls, lobbies and double-height spaces

As a rule of thumb, choose a width of about two-thirds of the furniture below it, and hang the centre of the artwork near eye level, around 57 to 60 inches from the floor.

Care

Dust it with a soft dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid abrasive pads, polish and harsh chemicals so the powder coat keeps its even finish.
