Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep IV

Capturing a serene moment on an open hillside, our Wanaka Sheep IV wallpaper by Laura Marshall brings the open countryside into the home through striking monochrome photography. Three sheep make their way along a grassy slope set against dramatic, cloud-filled skies and distant mountain ridges. The photographic detail and rich tonal range of black, charcoal, silver-grey, and soft off-white give this mural wallpaper a grounded yet spacious feel. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly and straightforwardly.

In the room

Because of its diagonal horizon line and open sky, this wall mural works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full landscape can unfold. In a living room behind a low sofa or along a main dining room wall, the composition draws the eye across the space, creating a natural sense of depth. We also see this working beautifully in a bedroom behind the headboard or along an entrance hallway, where the calm, observant gaze of the animals establishes a welcoming, grounded atmosphere. Giving the lower slope room to breathe without tall bookcases or high cabinetry ensures the visual narrative remains clear.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest leaning into natural materials and quiet textures that complement its rustic, photographic character:

• Pair with warm timber furniture, such as natural oak or weathered elm, to balance the cool monochrome tones of the photograph.
• Incorporate tactile, natural fabrics like chunky wool throws, textured bouclé, or unbleached linen upholstery to echo the soft fleeces of the sheep.
• Keep surrounding accessories understated, choosing matte black iron or brushed bronze lighting to subtly pick up the darker photographic contrasts.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design consists purely of tonal greys, ranging from deep charcoal in the shadowed grass to crisp white and soft misty greys across the sky. Around this wallpaper, we love pairing adjacent walls with soft chalky neutrals, gentle off-whites, or warm stone greys. For a moodier interior scheme, deep slate or charcoal trim can frame the mural beautifully, while earthy sage greens or muted heather tones in soft furnishings bring a subtle hint of outdoor landscape colour into the room without competing with the black-and-white print.
