Wallpaper - Salt Lake I

In our Salt Lake I wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, soft horizontal watercolour washes blend seamlessly into a serene, horizon-like landscape. Sweeping brushstrokes in caramel brown, muted pink, and off-white flow across the wall, anchored by a deeper central band that brings depth to the composition while the lighter washes above and below keep the overall artwork open and airy. This abstract design introduces gentle movement and warmth to a room without overwhelming the surrounding interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the design is built around broad, horizontal watercolour strokes, we find it works particularly well on wider walls where the sweeping bands have space to stretch out. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa lets the darker horizon line sit comfortably at eye level, grounding the seating zone. In a bedroom, it serves naturally behind the bedhead, where the gradient of pink and warm brown tones creates a calm, enveloping backdrop. We also see this working effectively in a quiet home office, where the painterly abstract composition adds visual interest without introducing busy, distracting detail.

Styling it

The organic, earthy quality of this design pairs naturally with contemporary and organic modern interiors. We would balance the soft watercolour washes with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes and tactile natural materials.

• Choose warm wooden furniture, such as honey-toned oak or rich walnut, to pick up the deeper caramel brushstrokes in the centre of the composition.
• Introduce textured upholstery and cushions in off-white boucle, undyed wool, or washed linen to complement the painterly, relaxed rhythm of the wall.
• Keep surrounding decorative accents quiet, using matte ceramic pieces or brushed stone rather than highly reflective surfaces, allowing the mural to remain the focal point.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich caramel brown, gentle blush pink, and soft off-white washes. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest taking cues from these tonal layers. Warm plaster neutrals or light sandy beige on adjacent walls create a continuous, comfortable envelope. For skirting boards and woodwork, a soft ivory or warm white keeps the boundary crisp without the harshness of a pure brilliant white. If you want to introduce stronger contrast through furniture or larger textiles, deep chocolate brown, terracotta, or muted clay tones tie directly back to the earthy pigment in the central bands.
