Wallpaper - Haunted House

Our Haunted House wallpaper mural by David Carter Brown brings a whimsical Americana story to the wall with plenty of nostalgic Halloween charm. A weathered gray manor glows softly under a large yellow full moon, surrounded by bare, expressive trees, friendly attic ghosts, a black cat, and glowing carved jack-o'-lanterns by the road. The dark smoky gray background and storybook folk-art illustration style give the motif a playful sense of mystery that feels festive yet classic. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper that adds depth to the illustrated scene.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a playroom or dedicated family creative space where the detailed characters and small narrative elements can be explored up close. Because the illustration carries a complete narrative scene with strong horizontal ground elements and vertical tree trunks, we recommend giving it an uninterrupted wall where the full composition has room to unfold without being divided by high furniture.

In spaces with softer ambient lighting, the luminous yellow moon and glowing windows contrast gently against the smoky background, creating a cozy evening atmosphere. For rooms with multiple doorways, using this as a feature wall keeps the artwork centered and avoids breaking up the intricate roadside details.

Styling it

The folk-art Americana character of the illustration pairs naturally with relaxed, rustic, and traditional furniture pieces. We suggest choosing warm, mid-tone or painted dark wood storage units that sit low to the floor, leaving the moon, ghosts, and tree branches fully visible across the upper half of the wall.

Surrounding fabrics and window dressings work best in simple, understated textures like heavy woven canvas or charcoal cotton, which ground the room without competing with the detailed scene. Incorporating amber-toned accent lighting or shaded side lamps will naturally echo the soft glow radiating from the illustrated windows and carved pumpkins.

Colour combinations

The scene is anchored by deep charcoal, smoky gray, and black tones, highlighted by vivid pumpkin orange and luminous moon yellow. Around this wallpaper, we suggest keeping adjacent walls in muted smoky grays or soft off-whites that allow the dark backdrop to establish depth in the room. Accent accessories in rich ochre, rust, or deep matte black help tie the space together by echoing the warm lanterns and dark silhouette branches found throughout the motif.
