Wallpaper - Big Splash

Photographer Ric Jacyno captures the raw scale of an ancient glacier in our Big Splash wallpaper mural. The composition centers on a massive wall of compressed ice streaked with dark fractures and vivid aquamarine blue fissures. Chunks of ice sheer away from the main face, sending plumes of white mist and dramatic spray across the calm, grey-green water below. Printed as a made-to-measure wall mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an expansive, documentary-style landscape into your interior.

In the room

Because of the sweeping horizontal perspective and dramatic focal point, we see this photographic wallpaper working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or a dedicated home library, giving the panoramic ice face plenty of open wall space allows the full scale of the landscape photography to unfold without being clipped by tall furniture.

In a quiet study or home office, placing the mural behind a desk creates a grounding, thoughtful backdrop. The cool tonal depth and stillness of the surrounding water balance the kinetic energy of the splashing ice, making it an engaging focal point for rooms where you want visual depth without clutter.

Styling it

When styling a room around such a powerful natural landscape, we prefer to let the mural wallpaper carry the visual drama. Pair it with furniture that has clean, architectural lines and grounded silhouettes rather than intricate ornamentation.

To balance the cool, icy palette of the photograph, bring in warm natural wood finishes such as smoked oak, walnut, or teak in your shelving and tables. Matte black metal accents on lighting or chair frames echo the deep shadow lines in the glacier crevices, while neutral upholstery in off-white, slate grey, or charcoal keeps the surrounding room cohesive and calm.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around a distinct palette of crisp whites, cold slate tones, deep crevices, and striking aquamarine blue running through the glacier, set against the muted grey-green tones of the water.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling from the quieter tones in the scene:

• Soft chalky whites or pale mist greys keep the space open and airy while highlighting the blue fissures in the ice.
• Deep charcoal or flint grey on trim, baseboards, or doors grounds the space and frames the wall mural cleanly.
• Muted seafoam or mossy grey-green on cabinetry or painted furniture subtly draws out the reflection in the water.
