Wallpaper - Water Tower Profile

Our photographic wallpaper captures an octagonal historic water tower standing above a grassy dune against the warm glow of an evening sunset. Photographed by Jan Becke, the composition balances the strong vertical architecture of the white and brick tower with a wide sky glowing in saffron and soft orange light, grounded by textured coastal grasses along the foreground. Like all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure that brings out the fine photographic details.

In the room

Because the water tower stands offset to the right while the glowing sun sits to the left, we would give this design an uninterrupted focal wall where both the architecture and the open horizon can be appreciated together. It works especially well across a main living room wall or behind a low-backed sofa, where the expansive sky creates a sense of openness and visual depth. In a vacation home or sitting area with generous daylight, the soft gradations of the sunset bring a welcoming, tranquil warmth to the space without dominating it with heavy dark tones.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this design with simple, unadorned furniture that lets the photographic depth take centre stage. Clean-lined pieces in natural, warm woods echo the earthy tones of the dune grasses, while light, neutral upholstery keeps the room feeling airy. To complement the coastal horizon, you could bring in woven textures like jute or wool rugs alongside ceramic or matte metal lighting that subtly picks up on the architectural details.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by glowing saffron, warm orange, and soft amber across the sky, contrasted by earthy dune greens, sand tones, and the crisp white and brick accents of the tower. For surrounding painted walls, we recommend soft off-whites, warm creams, or gentle sandy beige tones that extend the natural warmth of the sky. Muted olive or lichen green accents in textiles also work wonderfully to echo the grassy foreground.
