Wallpaper - Lincoln's Gettysburg

Our Lincoln's Gettysburg wallpaper mural captures the seated statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial, framed alongside the carved inscription of the Gettysburg Address. Warm, honeyed amber light bathes the central monument, creating an intense visual contrast against the cool cyan glow that illuminates the architectural column and inscribed text on the left. Captured by photographer Richard Sisk, the composition balances grand neoclassical architecture with dramatic theatrical lighting. We produce this design as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural printed on wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to install while delivering a striking statement piece.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper carries such a strong focal point and architectural presence, we find it works best on a generous, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the monument and text can be appreciated. In a dedicated home office, study, or private library, the design sets an authoritative, historic tone. The split lighting in the image creates natural zoning across the wall: the left third provides a cool, graphic backdrop of typography and classical fluted columns, while the right side brings rich, warm depth behind seating or a desk. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the centre so the seated statue remains clearly visible.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic scale and high visual weight of the design, we suggest pairing it with clean, substantial furnishings. A solid dark wood desk, such as walnut or stained oak, complements the deep shadows and rich honey tones of the stonework. For seating, warm tan leather or structured dark upholstery mirrors the dignified, classical atmosphere of the memorial without competing for attention. We would keep decorative accessories minimal and grounded, allowing the interplay of cool stone and warm illumination to serve as the primary visual feature in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on glowing honey amber, warm terracotta-tinted stone, and deep charcoal shadows, set against an icy cyan blue and cool grey marble on the left. For adjacent walls, deep slate grey, warm charcoal, or muted navy will draw out the rich, atmospheric shadows and give the room an enveloping feel. If you prefer a lighter environment, look to warm architectural neutrals or stony off-whites that mirror the lit marble without clashing with the contrasting blue tones.
