Wallpaper - Herring River

Our Herring River wallpaper brings the quiet beauty of a coastal riverbank into the home, captured through the lens of photographer Jocelyn Elizabeth. In this landscape design, a gentle river curves through tall marsh grasses and lush greenery, leading toward a dense line of trees on the horizon. Above, a soft sunset sky painted with blush pink and delicate orange clouds reflects across the still water, while a solitary bird glides overhead. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it offers a natural, panoramic scene that grounds the room in earthy tones and gentle evening light.

In the room

Because Herring River is a photographic landscape mural with a deep sense of horizon and distance, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated meditation space, giving the design enough continuous wall width allows the river's curve and open sky to establish depth without feeling cropped. The horizontal composition also makes it a wonderful fit behind a low-backed sofa or along the main wall of a holiday home, where the tranquil waterway creates an immediate focal point. For rooms with generous natural light, the soft pinks in the sky and the rich green forest tones retain their distinct, natural contrast throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the photographic details of the landscape stand out, we would pair our Herring River wall murals with simple, grounded interior elements rather than competing patterns.

• Ground the space with warm, natural wood furniture such as oak or ash, which complements the earthy grasses and marsh foliage along the riverbank.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in solid, unpatterned fabrics like linen or brushed cotton to balance the visual detail of the landscape.
• Choose decorative accents in matte ceramics or subtle brushed bronze to echo the warmth of the sunset tones without introducing reflective glare.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is anchored by a balanced palette of deep forest green, warm earthy greens in the grasses, and a glowing sunset sky layered with blush pink, soft peach, and pale blue. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we recommend pulling directly from these softer sky tones. A muted blush or soft off-white on adjacent walls keeps the space light and airy while allowing the wallpaper's darker greenery to pop. Alternatively, picking up the rich forest green on skirting boards, doors, or low cabinetry creates an enveloping, cohesive look that frames the mural wallpapers naturally.
