Wallpaper - Quays of Stockholm

Our Quays of Stockholm wallpaper captures a sweeping elevated panorama across the historic waterfront of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen. The design brings together the terracotta, apricot, and ochre facades of traditional buildings against the deep turquoise waterways, framed by distant spires and an open sky. We particularly like how the rich architectural detailing and soft water reflections create depth across a wide surface. Made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates a captivating focal point in modern living spaces.

In the room

For a spacious living room or open-plan family area, we see this design working at its best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. Because the panorama is rich in architectural detail and horizontal perspective, giving the wall mural room to expand allows the complete cityscape to unfold naturally. We suggest positioning it along a main seating wall or behind a low sofa so the intricate buildings and open waterways remain visible.

In a holiday home or vacation residence, this design brings a calm yet engaging presence to living areas. The combination of warm building tones and cool water makes it well balanced across varying room layouts, offering visual depth without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

When styling a room around our Quays of Stockholm mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean and understated so the architectural detail remains the hero.

• Pair the warm tones of the masonry with natural oak or mid-toned timber furniture, which echoes the warmth of the old town buildings.
• Choose low-profile seating in neutral fabrics, such as warm ivory, soft oatmeal, or slate grey, allowing the vibrant waterfront view to command attention.
• Incorporate subtle accents of muted green or coastal blues in small decorative ceramics or cushions to pick up the waterfront and surrounding parkland.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on warm apricot, terracotta, and soft ochre facades, balanced by rich waterfront blues, sage greens, and cool sky tones.

To complement these shades, we recommend styling surrounding walls in soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit neutrals. If you want to create a more grounded setting, deeper charcoal or slate tones on adjacent trims or architectural woodwork will echo the dark tiled roofs and spire silhouettes of the cityscape.
