Wallpaper - Powder Ahead

Our Powder Ahead wallpaper brings a vast, sunlit mountain vista into the interior. Captured by photographer Lucas Tiefenthaler, the design features sweeping snow-covered hills and gentle snowdrifts dotted with evergreen pine trees, set against a brilliant blue sky. A bright sunburst creates long rays of light across the landscape, while distant, jagged mountain peaks anchor the horizon to give the composition remarkable depth and visual openness. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a crisp, expansive landscape that completely shifts the atmosphere of a room.

In the room

For a design with this scale and horizontal perspective, we recommend giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full panorama can unfold without heavy visual obstruction. In a spacious living room, placing it along the main seating wall allows the curving slopes and distant mountain ridge to visually open up the space. The panoramic depth also works exceptionally well in a vacation home or chalet setting, bringing the alpine surroundings indoors.

Because the photograph carries high contrast between the brilliant white snowdrifts and the deep sky, soft, diffused daylight helps balance the scene. In spaces with large windows, the crisp white foreground interacts naturally with daytime light, while warm artificial lighting in the evening softens the cool tones of the snow.

Styling it

When decorating around such a vivid photographic landscape, we prefer keeping large furniture pieces grounded, understated, and simple in form. Low-profile sofas or credenzas in neutral tones prevent the wall from feeling crowded and keep the horizon line prominently visible.

To complement the alpine scenery, we like introducing natural wood finishes such as light pine, warm ash, or darker oak, which echo the organic presence of the evergreen trees. Layering in tactile wool throws, bouclé cushions, or a plush woven rug introduces comforting warmth that balances the crisp, cold visual feel of the snowscape.

Colour combinations

The palette of the mural is built on pristine snow whites, icy highlights, and deep alpine sky blues, balanced by the dark evergreen shades of the scattered pine trees.

When choosing surrounding paint colors for adjacent walls, ceiling, or trim, soft off-whites and pale stone shades create a seamless transition that complements the bright snow. For a bolder, more enveloping interior, deep slate blue or rich forest green drawn directly from the trees and sky can be used on neighboring walls or cabinetry to anchor the room.
