Wallpaper - Big Sky

Created by artist Julia Purinton, our Big Sky wallpaper captures an expansive coastal horizon with soft, impressionistic brushwork. Vast, billowy clouds drift across a quiet expanse of sky blue, pale mist, and gentle grey-blue tones, meeting a serene line of water below. The broad scale and low-contrast brushstrokes bring an open, airy atmosphere to interior walls without overwhelming the room with dense graphic detail. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition draws the eye toward a low, subtle horizon line, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or bedroom. In a bedroom, placing it behind a low headboard allows the upper cloud formations to dominate the upper half of the room, creating an expansive vertical presence.

In a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area, the painterly landscape introduces soft visual rhythm that does not compete with understated furnishings. The gentle horizontal layering can also help visually ground open-plan living spaces when used across an expansive feature wall. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the delicate shifts between sky blue, grey, and soft white become especially luminous, while softer evening lighting brings out the deeper blue-grey brushwork along the lower horizon.

Styling it

To complement the painterly, organic quality of Julia Purinton's artwork, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded in form. Low-profile pieces with clean, contemporary silhouettes allow the expansive sky motif to remain the primary focal point of the space.

Warm wood finishes such as white oak or ash provide an organic counterbalance to the cool, breezy palette of the sky. When introducing textiles, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, oat, or washed chambray harmonise naturally with the open landscape, avoiding visual competition with the delicate oil paint brushwork. Matte ceramic decorative pieces and subtle brushed metal accents in soft nickel or aged bronze work well to complete the setting without adding high-gloss distraction.

Colour combinations

Our Big Sky design is built on a foundation of soft sky blue, cool grey-blue, and light, misty whites, with faint warm undertones woven through the cloud reflections.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, ceiling surfaces, or architectural trim, consider the following directions:

• Off-whites and chalky whites: Soft, neutral whites with a balanced undertone mirror the brightest cloud areas and maintain a clean, airy room feel.
• Slate blue and greyed teal: Pulling out the deeper blue tones from the horizon line onto woodwork, cabinetry, or an accent chair creates depth and anchors the lighter areas of the mural.
• Warm oatmeal and soft stone: Neutral sandy hues provide a gentle warmth on adjacent painted surfaces, echoing coastal elements while softening the overall blue palette.
