Wallpaper - By the Mountain

Our By the Mountain wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Silvia Vassileva, captures the quiet atmosphere of an abstract mountain landscape through soft, impressionistic brushstrokes. The upper composition opens with broad washes of pale cloud gray, creamy off-white, and muted sky tones, giving the design a light, expansive feel. Below, the landscape gathers weight with layered passages of earthy greens, soft browns, and subtle touches of warm ochre and muted orange. We produce our mural wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving the painted visual texture room to settle naturally across your wall.

In the room

Because the composition transitions from a grounded, darker base to an open and airy sky, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main wall in a living room, bedroom, or dining room. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa allows the lower earthy tones to anchor the seating area while the lighter upper half keeps the space feeling open. In a bedroom, it functions beautifully behind a bed as an artistic focal point where the horizontal movement of the brushwork creates a restful visual backdrop. For a home office, study, or den, the abstract nature of the landscape brings depth without introducing busy, high-contrast detail that competes for attention.

Styling it

We would pair this design with an organic modern or contemporary interior that echoes its earthy, natural feel. Low, clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones complements the grounded base of the painting without cutting across the horizontal flow of the landscape.

When choosing surrounding materials, we recommend keeping upholstery and larger textiles in simple, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, oat, or muted olive. Matte ceramics and understated lighting in brushed bronze or blackened metal will add subtle contrast while letting the painterly character of the wallpaper remain the central focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The design features a balanced palette of cloud gray, soft cream, mossy earth greens, warm brown, and gentle touches of ochre.

To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, we suggest drawing on the lighter tones for adjacent walls and trim, using soft off-white or light gray with warm undertones. For accents in upholstery, cushions, or painted woodwork, deep olive greens, rich walnut tones, or muted terracotta provide a natural continuation of the landscape's lower layers.
