Wallpaper - River Trout Study II

Our River Trout Study II wallpaper brings together an abstract composition of vertical strips in layered tones of olive green, earthy brown, soft grey, blue, warm orange, and beige. Created by Haley Knighten, the design works like a painted collage where overlapping rectangular shapes vary in width and length. Some bands reveal subtle transparency while others display painterly, textured brush strokes. The balance between cool slate hues and warm ochre accents gives this wall mural a rich graphic rhythm that draws the eye upward. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room or a dedicated home office where an artistic focal point can set the tone for the entire space. Because the vertical arrangement naturally guides the gaze, we like using it on a wider feature wall behind a desk, low shelving, or a sofa. Giving the pattern room across an uninterrupted surface allows the overlapping bands and varying widths to be seen in full context. In a study, the earthy olive and grounding brown tones create an engaging, contemplative backdrop for everyday working hours without visual clutter.

Styling it

To let the collage-inspired artwork lead the interior, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-profile pieces with clean, contemporary lines ensure the vertical movement of the motif remains clear from floor to ceiling.

We particularly like pairing this wallpaper with warm, natural timber finishes such as medium oak or walnut, which pick up on the earthy brown layers in the print. For seating and upholstery, muted neutral fabrics in cream, stone, or charcoal provide a quiet base, allowing the vibrant rust and blue accents in the design to stand out naturally.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a versatile palette anchored by olive green, earthy brown, warm orange, grey, blue, and pale beige. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent surfaces, we suggest drawing directly from these core shades:

• Warm off-white or light stone on neighbouring walls to maintain an airy feel while framing the artwork.
• Deep olive green or muted charcoal for joinery, skirting, or shelving to echo the darker bands in the composition.
• Rust, terracotta, or burnt orange accents through cushions or ceramics to tie into the warmer vertical strokes.
