Wallpaper - Up High North

Created by James Wiens, our Up High North wallpaper captures an expansive mountain landscape rendered with the painterly strokes and rich texture of an impressionistic oil study. Sweeping slopes in deep hunter green and soft ochre rise above a quiet body of water, where reflective light and painterly brushwork lend a tranquil sense of horizon and depth. The earthy palette brings a grounded, serene atmosphere to a room, balanced by luminous pale tones across the sky and water. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition has an expansive horizon and broad, sweeping brushstrokes, we think our wallpaper works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall where the full mountain scenery can unfold. In a living room, it creates a striking scenic focal point positioned behind a low-backed sofa, allowing the water's reflection in the lower half of the mural and the sunlit peaks above to remain fully visible. The peaceful, painterly character also suits a quiet meditation space or reading corner, where the calm horizontal bands of green meadow and mirrored water naturally slow the visual tempo of the room.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and natural scenery take centre stage, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes and unadorned surfaces. Low-profile seating in textured upholstery or dark painted furniture anchors the room without competing with the landscape's painted details. Selecting accessories with simple, rounded profiles echo the gentle curvature of the mountains and the winding shoreline, maintaining a balanced, cohesive feel throughout the space.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres around deep hunter greens, warm terracotta-ochre tones, and dark slate blues, balanced by muted ivory in the sky and water reflections. To build a harmonious palette around the mural wallpapers, we recommend picking up on the soft ivory and pale sky tones for adjacent painted walls or architectural trim, which helps keep the surrounding room bright and open. For upholstery, cabinetry, or accent pieces, deeper earthy tones drawn from the mountain shadows, such as forest green or muted charcoal, provide a rich, grounded contrast.
