Wallpaper - Highlands

Our Highlands wallpaper presents an expansive landscape composition inspired by nineteenth-century natural history illustration and classic scenic murals. A stately canopy tree anchors the centre of the scene, flanked by dramatic rocky escarpments, palm foliage, and roaming antelopes, birds, and smaller wildlife across a warm, misty clearing. The palette brings together muted fern greens, earthy ochres, soft sandy tones, and subtle rosy accents in the upper foliage against a warm off-white sky. Rendered with a soft, watercolour-like appearance, our design offers an atmospheric, heritage-led panoramic view. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made to your exact wall measurements on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of its sweeping panoramic scale and detailed visual narrative, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or a dedicated library. The composition has a clear horizontal flow, with rocky cliffs on the left balanced by palms and layered woodland on the right, meaning the design benefits from having enough breadth to unfold naturally. In a living room, placing this behind a low-backed sofa allows the central clearing and wildlife details to remain visible while the majestic tree crowns fill the upper wall. The tranquil, dreamy atmosphere also translates beautifully into a quiet study, where the soft depth of the misty background creates a calm sense of perspective behind a desk or reading chair.

Styling it

To complement the classic nineteenth-century character of the mural, we would lean towards heritage or colonial-inspired interior elements that share its timeless warmth. Furniture in darker or medium wood tones, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or warm oak, creates a natural grounding effect alongside the earthy foreground rocks and foliage.

We would keep surrounding upholstery and larger decorative objects relatively understated so the intricate wildlife and botanical details remain the focal point. Matte bronze or aged brass accents on lighting fixtures or cabinet hardware echo the subtle warm ochres in the print without competing with the scenic artwork.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon a balanced foundation of fern greens, earthy browns, sandy beige, and soft charcoal tones, lifted by subtle warm hues in the canopy and sky.

To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, we suggest drawing out the paler background tones with soft warm whites, stone, or light putty on adjacent painted walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper olive greens or muted moss shades pulled directly from the tree foliage work wonderfully on adjoining walls, architraves, or built-in bookshelves. For accent textiles and accessories, gentle terracotta, rust, or warm tan tones will pick up on the earthy highlights in the cliffs and animal coats.
