Wallpaper - Ancient Doorways

Our Ancient Doorways wallpaper features carved triangular rock formations set against an open blue sky, with weathered openings cut directly into the light beige and bone-white stone. Captured by photographer Barry Van Wagner, the composition balances architectural history with open terrain, where a twisted, leafless tree in the foreground contrasts with patches of green across the hillside. We make our mural wallpapers to measure for your specific wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this photographic landscape working especially well on an uninterrupted living room wall, where the full perspective of the hillside and open sky can stretch out across the room. Because the composition contains a distinct foreground with the tree and rising rock formations behind it, placing it behind a lower sofa or credenza lets the depth of the scene remain visible. In a vacation home or a quiet sitting area, the combination of earthy stone tones and clear sky creates an open, grounded architectural backdrop without overwhelming everyday furniture.

Styling it

To complement the natural textures of the landscape, we would pair this design with simple, unadorned furniture that lets the photography hold visual focus. Low-profile seating in textured linen or unbleached cotton echoes the dry stone surfaces, while untreated wood or rustic ceramic accents connect with the earthy character of the terrain. Keeping decorative objects restrained and avoiding busy competing patterns around the wall helps the landscape retain its natural sense of scale.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centers around light bone white, warm beige, and dry stone tones, contrasted by clear sky blue and small accents of olive and grass green. In the surrounding space, we suggest pulling from the paler stone shades for painted adjacent walls or woodwork, using soft off-white, chalk, or warm linen tones. For furniture and larger upholstery, deeper earth tones like sandy taupe or muted charcoal complement the darker details in the tree branches and rock crevices.
