Wallpaper - In the Gentle Hours

In the Gentle Hours by Maggie Sackmann translates the stillness of an abstract landscape into an atmospheric wall design. Broad, sweeping brushstrokes in earthy army greens, muted greys and soft beige tones suggest misty waters winding between low hills under an overcast sky. What we particularly like about this mural wallpaper is its gentle, impressionistic character, offering visual depth and a calm horizon without overwhelming the surrounding space. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, our wallpaper creates a grounded, artistic backdrop that is easy to hang in any interior.

In the room

Because of its broad panoramic composition and gentle, blended brushwork, this design works exceptionally well on wide, uninterrupted walls where the horizontal movement can unfold naturally. In a living room behind a low-profile sofa or in a bedroom across the wall behind the headboard, the soft landscape forms establish an immediate sense of quiet. In a dining room or home office, the muted palette provides visual texture without competing with working surfaces or display shelving. The design also sits comfortably in entryways or along staircases, where the fluid gradient between light and dark tones brings depth to transitional areas.

Styling it

We would pair this wall mural with understated interior pieces that complement its organic, painterly feel. Natural wood finishes, such as warm oak or walnut, pick up on the earthy undertones in the landscape, while upholstery in textured neutral fabrics keeps the overall look refined and grounded.

To maintain the restful mood of the mural, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively simple in silhouette. Low-backed seating, ceramic table lamps and matte black or antique bronze accents will introduce subtle contrast without distracting from the sweeping landscape artwork on the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep army green, cool slate greys and warm, sandy beige, balanced by soft, hazy off-white tones across the upper sky.

When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls, woodwork or larger furniture, consider these directions:

• Soft off-white or light stone on neighbouring walls to reflect the luminous tones in the sky area.
• Deep olive, moss green or muted charcoal for cabinetry, skirting boards or accent chairs to echo the richer landscape brushwork.
• Warm beige, sand or taupe in larger textiles and floor coverings to bridge the lighter and darker passages of the mural.
