Wallpaper - Catching Air

Captured mid-jump by Max Blakesberg Studios, our Catching Air photographic wallpaper brings the crisp dynamism of winter sports into the home. The composition centers on a snowboarder suspended against an open, overcast sky, wearing a blue, white, and black jacket paired with warm tan pants above snow-dusted mountain ridges below. The generous negative space creates an airy visual scale, keeping the action sharp while allowing the surrounding wall to feel light and expansive. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this photographic design working especially well in a teenage room, a casual living room, or a dedicated hobby room where an adventurous focal point feels right at home. Because the upper two-thirds of the image consist of a light, open winter sky, the motif does not overwhelm smaller spaces or narrow wall spans. On a wider feature wall behind a low sofa or a bed, the figure remains unobstructed and clear, while the lower treeline and subtle mountain contours provide visual grounding along the bottom of the room.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy of the jump, we suggest pairing this design with clean-lined furniture and simple contemporary shapes. Keeping the surrounding elements relatively low in profile helps preserve the clear sightlines of the mountain landscape.

A few practical styling directions:

• Choose furniture in matte black metal or graphite to echo the snowboard, helmet, and jacket accents.
• Introduce textiles in warm camel, tan, or muted terracotta to draw out the warm tone of the snowboarder's pants.
• Maintain simple window treatments and uncluttered shelving so the wide expanse of sky on the wall feels open and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is defined by cool snow whites, soft atmospheric blues, and deep blacks, punctuated by the warm tan tone of the winter trousers and muted earthy hues in the tree line below.

When planning adjacent surfaces, cool slate greys and crisp off-whites offer a seamless background transition that keeps the room bright. For trim or accent walls, deep navy or charcoal creates a striking frame around the scene, while warm amber, tan, or cognac leather accents in furniture provide a pleasing contrast against the cool winter tones.
