Wallpaper - Haunted House

Our Haunted House wallpaper by David Carter Brown captures a classic, playful Halloween night with storybook charm. At the centre of the scene, a weathered grey mansion glows against a night sky lit by a large yellow full moon. Playful ghosts drift around the porch and attic windows, while expressive bare trees, carved pumpkins, a pumpkin cart, and a black cat perched on the fence add rich narrative detail. The palette brings together smoky greys and deep dark tones with warm glowing yellows and bright pumpkin orange. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper structure, our design brings an engaging illustrative quality to any feature wall.

In the room

In a playroom, children's bedroom, or family creative space, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an expansive storybook accent wall. Because the design is built around a complete scenic composition with architectural detail, trees, and small narrative vignettes, it benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal storytelling can unfold without being cut short. Placing low storage units, reading benches, or a bed beneath the mural keeps the central house, glowing moon, and whimsical tree branches clearly visible.

Styling it

To balance the detailed illustrative style and dark, atmospheric backdrop, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded.

Unfussy painted furniture in charcoal, warm off-white, or muted graphite allows the mural's vivid narrative to take centre stage. Natural wood elements, such as mid-toned oak or pine, introduce warmth that echoes the rustic Americana feel of the farmhouse architecture and wooden fence. For textiles, we suggest layering cosy, textured wool throws or simple solid-toned cushions in warm ochre, burnt amber, or heather grey rather than introducing competing graphic patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a palette of smoky greys, deep charcoal, luminous moonlight yellow, and bright pumpkin orange.

To create a cohesive scheme around the mural, we would pair it with soft, warm grey or chalky off-white paint on adjacent walls to keep the room feeling balanced and open. For accents on shelving, soft furnishings, or trim, picking up the rich amber and pumpkin tones from the jack-o'-lanterns creates a warm, inviting rhythm throughout the space. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, a deep charcoal on woodwork or adjoining walls makes the yellow windows and glowing moon stand out with striking contrast.
