Wallpaper - Road to Babylon

Our Road to Babylon wallpaper brings together a scenic nineteenth-century landscape with a delicate, watercolour-inspired character. Created by Haitham, the composition features two grazing antelope resting alongside a quiet sandy path, framed naturally by slender trees and lush foliage. Rugged mountains rise softly in the background under an open sky, while soaring birds and exotic plants add depth and movement to the scene. The palette balances muted fern greens, earthy tones, and soft blues to create an inviting, scenic vista. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, it provides an expressive visual feature that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, study, or home library, we see this scenic landscape working particularly well across a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. Because the artwork functions as a continuous scenic mural rather than a tight geometric repeat, giving it generous horizontal space allows the full journey from the foreground foliage to the distant mountain peaks to unfold naturally.

We would position the design behind lower seating, such as a low-backed sofa or low shelving, so that the gentle wildlife motif in the lower third remains visible. The quiet tonal transitions and soft watercolour style keep the panoramic scale feeling balanced rather than overwhelming, even in a more enclosed study.

Styling it

To complement the historic, heritage character of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing the design with classic, understated furnishings:

• Select warm, medium-to-dark wood furniture, such as antique walnut, dark oak, or mahogany, which naturally reflects the traditional nineteenth-century painting aesthetic.
• Introduce upholstery in textured, muted fabrics such as olive wool or washed linen to mirror the earthy ground and foliage tones without competing with the detailed scenery.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent surfaces minimal, allowing the panoramic wall mural to act as the primary visual focus in the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws primarily from a palette of fern greens, earthy browns, warm sandy neutrals, and pale mountain blues. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing out the sandy beige and pale sky tones for adjacent walls or painted woodwork, which keeps the room feeling cohesive and open.

For surrounding trim, cabinetry, or upholstered furniture, deeper botanical greens and warm earth tones create a grounding contrast that echoes the foreground plants. If you want a richer accent, subtle antique brass or muted ochre accents will sit comfortably alongside the warm landscape tones.
