Wallpaper - Western Sketchbook

Western Sketchbook by Kristy Rice captures a mountain landscape with the spontaneous, fluid energy of an artist's field study. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between loose, expressive pencil outlines and washes of saffron orange, earthy terracotta, soft sage green, and vivid indigo. Floating on a clean, light ground, the mountain ridge feels airy and expansive without overwhelming the room. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the mountain motif sits against a generous amount of open space, we see this working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or study. The artwork has a distinct horizontal rhythm, making it a natural fit behind a low sofa, a credenza, or a desk where the peaks remain in full view. In a meditation room or quiet reading corner, the tranquil watercolor style creates an artistic focal point while keeping the room feeling open and light.

Styling it

To let the watercolor character take center stage, we would keep the surrounding decor relatively understated. Clean-lined contemporary or Scandinavian furniture in light wood pairs naturally with the airy white background, while upholstery in muted linen or wool echoes the soft, earthy textures in the painting. You can pick up on the warm saffron and terracotta accents through small ceramic pieces or cushions, balancing them with a few touches of deep blue or muted green to ground the space.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centers on warm saffron, rust, ochre, and soft greens, contrasted by a dramatic sweep of indigo blue against a neutral white backdrop. For adjacent walls and trim, warm off-whites, soft bone, or pale sand will preserve the spaciousness of the motif. If you want a more grounded look across cabinetry or woodwork, deeper tones drawn directly from the illustration, such as slate blue, deep terracotta, or muted olive, work remarkably well.
