Wallpaper - Quays of Stockholm

Our Quays of Stockholm wallpaper captures a sunlit panoramic view over Riddarholmen and the historic rooftops of Gamla Stan. The composition features warm terracotta, apricot, and ochre buildings curving along the deep blue waterfront, framed by distinct spires, copper-green domes, and the open sky. As with all our wall murals, we produce this design made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating a detailed and expansive architectural vista on your wall.

In the room

We see this architectural wallpaper working particularly well in a living room, where a wide uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the waterfront and skyline to unfold. The horizontal flow of the quay and waterways brings a sense of depth and openness, making it a compelling focal point behind a sofa or across a main entertaining space. In a vacation home or bright open-plan space, the warm building tones and crisp blue water create an inviting, serene atmosphere that establishes a natural connection to Nordic travel and coastal cityscapes.

Styling it

Because the skyline and waterfront provide rich visual detail, we suggest balancing the space with relatively clean-lined furniture that does not compete with the architectural forms. Natural lighter woods, such as ash or pale birch, complement the Scandinavian origin of the motif while keeping the room feeling airy. Upholstered pieces in neutral woven textiles help ground the seating area, allowing the vibrant buildings and water to carry the visual interest.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by warm ochre, soft apricot, and brick red facades contrasted against the cool turquoise and deep blue tones of the water and sky. Surrounding painted walls in warm off-white or soft cream highlight the warm tones of the masonry without overwhelming the room. If you want to draw out the cooler elements, subtle blue-grey accents in cushions or throws echo the open water and copper roof details.
