Wallpaper - Zakim

Our Zakim wallpaper captures a striking night view of a modern cable-stayed bridge, photographed by Tono Balaguer. Vivid blue and bright white architectural lights illuminate the towers and taut cables, while the calm water below creates a clear reflection that adds symmetry and depth across the wall. Warm city lights from surrounding buildings soften the urban horizon, complemented by subtle green foliage framing the foreground. As with all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the bridge towers and reflecting water create a strong vertical and horizontal anchor, we see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full reflection has space to breathe. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa keeps the illuminated bridge span and horizon line in clear view. For a study or home office, the deep evening blues provide an atmospheric, focused backdrop behind a desk. It also functions well in a hallway, where the perspective over the water draws the eye forward and adds a distinct sense of architectural depth to a transition area.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this architectural photography with clean-lined, contemporary furnishings that echo its structured feel without competing with the night view.

• Choose low-profile furniture with clean silhouettes to keep the reflection and lower waterline unobstructed.
• Introduce dark or neutral upholstery, such as charcoal or deep navy fabric, to ground the space and tie into the dark evening sky.
• Use matte black metal or brushed steel details in light fixtures or table legs to mirror the geometric precision of the bridge cables.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by deep navy, vibrant royal blue, crisp white illumination, and warm yellow ambient light from the city in the background. Around the wall, we suggest pairing it with deep slate or muted navy paint on adjacent walls for an immersive, tailored look. If you prefer higher contrast, cool off-white or soft pale grey trim lets the vivid blues stand out as the primary focal point. Warm brass accents or muted amber lighting can also subtly pick up the warm glow from the distant skyline.
