Wallpaper - Ruby Creek I

Our Ruby Creek I wallpaper, created by Haley Knighten, translates an expressive landscape painting into a calm, grounded wall mural. Broad, painterly sweeps of umber, terracotta, deep ruby red, and olive green form a layered horizon line across the center. Above, soft washes of overcast gray and cream suggest an open sky, while the foreground opens up with sweeping strokes of beige and warm white. The painted canvas texture remains visible throughout the motif, giving the artwork depth and character. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

Because the main color weight sits along the horizontal bands of the hills, we especially like this wallpaper on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can stretch out naturally. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa lets the earthy ridge lines remain in clear view while the lighter foreground anchors the seating area. It works equally well as a serene focal point in a bedroom behind a headboard or along the main wall of a quiet home office. The open composition balances richer, darker pigments with airy, light tones, meaning it brings warmth to a space without overwhelming the overall room.

Styling it

The organic brushwork and natural palette make this design a natural match for contemporary and organic modern interiors. To complement the painterly aesthetic without competing with the horizon, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively low and simple.

• Choose furniture in warm, natural wood tones such as walnut or white oak to echo the umber and beige tones in the lower half of the painting.
• Bring in textured textiles in unbleached cotton or linen to harmonise with the woven visual texture of the artwork.
• Keep decorative accents minimalist, using matte ceramic vessels or understated stoneware that won't distract from the painted brushwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is grounded in rich earth tones, featuring deep ruby red, warm umber brown, muted olive green, and soft terracotta, balanced by gentle layers of beige, cream, and misty gray. When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white or soft stone shades create a seamless transition that highlights the airy sky in the upper composition. For a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out the warm umber or a muted moss green on surrounding woodwork or cabinetry adds depth while maintaining an earthy, cohesive look.
