Wallpaper - Salt Lake II

Our Salt Lake II wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings together soft horizontal washes of watercolour in warm brown, caramel, beige, and off-white. The composition builds a quiet abstract horizon, transitioning from deeper, grounded earthy tones at the top into a luminous off-white band through the middle, followed by fluid, organic brush marks across the lower portion. Because the visual movement is soft and horizontal, the design introduces artistic warmth without demanding too much visual energy from the room. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adapts effortlessly to your exact wall proportions.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in spaces dedicated to rest or relaxed conversation, such as a living room or bedroom. The horizontal sweep of the watercolour strokes naturally guides the eye across the room, making it an excellent backdrop behind a low-profile sofa, a dining table, or a headboard. Because the contrast remains gentle throughout the composition, it sits comfortably on a primary feature wall without overpowering adjacent plain walls. On larger, uninterrupted walls, the subtle transitions between caramel and off-white have room to breathe, while in more compact rooms the horizontal flow helps establish a grounded, uncluttered atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern feel of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with low-profile furniture and natural, tactile materials.

• Choose furniture in pale or warm wood tones, such as natural ash or light oak, to echo the warm caramel and beige pigments in the motif.
• Introduce textured upholstery like linen, bouclé, or unbleached cotton in soft ecru to reflect the fluid, handmade look of the painted washes.
• Keep wall decor and accessories minimal, allowing the wide horizontal composition of the mural to act as the primary visual anchor in the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on an earthy palette of caramel, soft brown, warm beige, and off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we suggest leaning into soft neutrals like chalky off-white, light ecru, or subtle oatmeal. For a moodier, more grounded interior, deep muted browns or warm taupe drawn directly from the upper section of the artwork create a sophisticated, tonal continuity across skirting boards and neighbouring surfaces.
