Wallpaper - Calm and Still at Sunrise

Our Calm and Still at Sunrise wallpaper, created in collaboration with Carson Overstreet, brings an impressionist lakeside landscape into the home with gentle brushstrokes and a soft morning palette. The artwork balances an open sky of delicate pastel orange, pink, and pale blue above a grounded horizon of deep green trees, mirrored softly in the still water below. The painterly visual texture and horizontal composition give the design a quiet, atmospheric presence that sits effortlessly across a wide wall. Produced to order as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each panel is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We find this landscape wall mural particularly effective in a bedroom or guest room behind the bed, where the horizontal horizon line naturally grounds the space and the pastel sky opens up the upper wall. The expansive scale of the lake and sky also suits a larger living room or dining room on a generous, uninterrupted feature wall, allowing the full breadth of the painterly scene to unfold without visual disruption. In a quiet study or home library, the painterly composition creates a calm focal point behind a desk or low shelving, bringing a gentle sense of depth to the room without overwhelming it.

Styling it

Because the artwork has an expressive, impressionist quality with rich painterly brushwork, we like pairing this wallpaper with relatively quiet furniture that has clean, classic silhouettes.

Natural timber finishes such as warm oak, antique pine, or painted French country furniture in muted off-whites sit beautifully alongside the earthy sage and forest green tones in the tree line. To maintain a restful balance in the room, we would lean towards unpatterned, tactile upholstery and soft linen drapery in pale ecru or soft sky blue, letting the wall mural carry the visual detail.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a serene palette of soft blush pink, pale apricot orange, and hazy morning blue in the sky, anchored by deep sage and earthy forest greens along the waterline. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, and skirting, soft chalky whites, pale dove greys, or muted sage greens pick up the landscape's undertones naturally. For deeper contrast in upholstery or cabinetry, a muted olive green or warm slate blue creates a refined, grounded connection to the painting.
