Wallpaper - Town by the River

Created by artist Silvia Vassileva, our Town by the River wallpaper interprets an urban waterfront through vibrant, expressive brushwork and layered rectangular colour blocks. Warm terracotta, rust, and crimson tones anchor the skyline against luminous lime greens, sunny yellows, and tranquil river blues. The composition balances architectural silhouettes with loose, gestural strokes, creating an energetic yet harmonious visual rhythm across the wall. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well in a living room or a dedicated home studio where its painterly character can take centre stage. Because the artwork relies on broad horizontal sweeps of colour and rhythmic block forms, it thrives on a wider, uninterrupted wall. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or along a main feature wall gives the complete cityscape room to breathe and allows the eye to travel across the varied brush textures. In rooms with ample daylight, the interplay between the bright chartreuse notes and the deep ochres becomes especially vivid, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth of the red and earth tones.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly composition stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded in form. Mid-century modern or contemporary silhouettes with clean horizontal lines complement the structural feel of the abstract buildings without competing with the brushwork.

Warm wood tones like teak or warm oak echo the ochre and terracotta sections of the mural wallpapers, creating a cohesive visual link between the wall and the floor. When introducing decorative accents or soft textiles, selecting solid colours drawn directly from the motif, such as deep teal, muted olive, or rich terracotta, helps tie the entire room together effortlessly.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper brings together a lively palette of olive and lime green, sunlit yellow, terracotta, crimson, warm ochre, soft teal, and sky-washed grey. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or ceiling mouldings, a muted plaster beige, soft linen white, or pale sage provides a calm, complementary backdrop that allows the wall murals to remain the primary focal point. For a bolder interior scheme, pulling the deeper terracotta or slate blue onto adjacent cabinetry, doors, or trim creates an enveloping, gallery-inspired atmosphere.
