Wallpaper - Western Sketchbook

Created by Kristy Rice, our Western Sketchbook wallpaper mural captures an expressive mountain landscape with the delicate, spontaneous feel of a plein-air watercolour study. Loose pencil sketches outline dramatic peaks and sweeping valleys, filled with translucent washes of saffron orange, earthy terracotta, soft sage green, and a striking plume of cobalt blue in the sky. Set against a clean, off-white background with generous negative space, the composition brings a tranquil, artistic presence to an interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love how this landscape artwork balances open space with vivid detail, making it an inspiring choice for a living room, study, or dedicated quiet room. Because the motif is anchored horizontally across the wall with plenty of quiet space above, we recommend giving it a wider, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. It works beautifully behind a low sofa or a desk, where the mountain silhouette remains fully visible and creates a serene visual focal point without overwhelming the entire space.

Styling it

To complement the light, hand-painted aesthetic of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing Western Sketchbook with simple, contemporary furniture and airy decor.

• Choose low-profile furniture in light wood tones such as ash or bleached oak to preserve an open, uncluttered horizon across the room.
• Introduce neutral upholstery and woven textiles in unbleached cotton or linen to echo the organic feel of the watercolour paper.
• Add small ceramic accents or matte tableware in warm terracotta to draw out the earthy tones in the mountain valleys.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced palette of saffron orange, sunlit yellow, terracotta, muted sage, and rich cobalt blue, all resting on an off-white background. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend soft, warm neutrals like biscuit, oatmeal, or creamy off-white to maintain an open and seamless transition. If you want to introduce a subtle contrast on adjacent walls or joinery, a muted sage green or dusty terracotta will beautifully pick up the mineral shades in the artwork.
