Wallpaper - The Monarch

Our The Monarch wallpaper mural brings the expansive scale of a winter alpine landscape onto the wall. Captured by photographer Jim Wiebe, the design centres on jagged, snow-covered mountain peaks rising toward a clear blue sky, with drifting clouds partially veiling the ridgelines. Dark, rocky textures break through the blanket of white snow across the slopes, while scattered evergreen trees in the foreground provide depth and perspective. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the photographic landscape has a strong panoramic depth, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full mountain range can unfold naturally. In a living room or a vacation home sitting area, placing the wallpaper behind a sofa anchors the space without cutting off the dramatic upper peaks and sky. The open sky at the top helps keep the upper portion of the room feeling light, while the darker rocky ridges ground the lower half. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the centre of the wall so the foreground trees and terrain contours remain visible.

Styling it

With a high-detail photographic wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the scenery remains the clear focal point. Natural wood finishes like pine, ash, or light oak sit comfortably alongside the alpine motif, echoing the evergreen forest in the foreground. Soft upholstery in neutral tones balances the crispness of the snow without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design is built around cool snow whites, deep slate-grey rock tones, forest greens, and a clear atmospheric blue sky. To build a balanced scheme around the mural wallpaper, we would look to warm off-whites or soft pale greys on neighbouring walls to prevent the space from feeling too icy. Deep navy, charcoal, or dark spruce green work particularly well in smaller accents or surrounding upholstery to mirror the darker contours within the peaks.
