Wallpaper - Shimmering Valley

Our Shimmering Valley wallpaper, created in collaboration with Wild Apple Portfolio, brings an artistic interpretation of a birch woodland into the home. What we particularly like about this design is the contrast between the slender, white and eggshell birch trunks in the foreground and the abstract, painterly bands of teal, ochre, brown, and soft gold in the background. The vertical rhythm of the trees adds a subtle sense of height, while the textured brushstrokes give the landscape depth and an organic, modern feel. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinctive way to bring nature indoors.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal layers in the background and the tall vertical birch trees, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, library, or dedicated meditation space. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the tree trunks to rise uninterrupted towards the ceiling, creating an open, scenic backdrop. In a home library or reading room, the earthy tones pair naturally with quieter seating corners. The composition benefits from a wider wall area where the full panorama of the forest and its painted layers can be appreciated without being heavily broken up by tall cabinets.

Styling it

The balance of natural birch elements and abstract painted fields makes this design easy to style across contemporary and organic modern interiors.

• Pair with warm wood tones or painted furniture in muted earthy shades to echo the woodland palette without overpowering the artwork.
• Choose understated upholstery in natural textures, such as woven wool or unbleached cotton, to complement the painted character of the wall.
• Incorporate subtle accents in dark iron or brushed bronze to ground the lighter birch trunks and reflect the deeper lines within the tree bark.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on eggshell white, soft grey, and warm ochre, grounded by deep bark brown and contrasted with muted teal and turquoise. When selecting paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in shelving, we suggest looking to warm neutrals like soft sand or pale stone to keep the space bright and airy. Alternatively, introducing a deep forest brown or an earthy teal on adjacent walls can create a richer, more enveloping feel that highlights the painterly background of our wall murals.
