Wallpaper - Worn by the Wind

Our Worn by the Wind wallpaper, created in collaboration with Maggie Sackmann, presents an expressive, abstract landscape defined by sweeping brushwork and a muted, earthy palette. Atmospheric mountain ridges and soft valleys drift into an overcast, cloudy sky, anchored below by deep, blurred strokes suggesting pine forests and tranquil water. Rendered with an oil-painted visual quality, this design balances dramatic depth with quiet, airy space across large and small rooms. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this landscape working especially well across a primary living room wall or behind a bed, where the broad sweep of the mountains has sufficient width to unfold naturally. Because the darker, denser brushwork is gathered along the lower edge and right side, lower-profile furniture such as a low sofa or credenza sits comfortably against it without obstructing the open sky above. In a dining room or a dedicated study, the expansive composition adds visual depth without cluttering the background, especially when placed on an uninterrupted accent wall where the full horizon line remains visible.

Styling it

When styling around this mural, we prefer letting the painterly movement of the artwork serve as the main graphic focus of the space.

• Choose low-profile furniture with clean, understated silhouettes to keep the mountain peaks and open sky unobstructed.
• Incorporate warm, matte woods such as oak or walnut to echo the natural, earthy tones visible in the terrain.
• Use textured, unpatterned fabrics on upholstery and cushions to balance the rich, sweeping brushstrokes of the wall.

Colour combinations

The motif itself is built on a foundation of cloud gray, soft beige, warm ochre, and deep charcoal black. To create a seamless transition throughout the room, we suggest drawing out the paler tones with off-white, warm greige, or soft stone on adjacent walls and painted trim. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, deeper accents drawn from the dark pine shapes, such as soft charcoal or dark espresso, work beautifully across architectural details, picture frames, or accent furniture.
