Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep III

Our Wanaka Sheep III wallpaper mural, captured by Laura Marshall, brings the striking depth of an alpine landscape directly into your home. The black and white photographic composition features a small flock of sheep perched along a grassy hillside, set against dramatic snow-capped mountain peaks and an expansive sky. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the balance between the curiosity of the animals in the foreground and the sweeping scale of the mountain range behind them. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions and produced on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong diagonal ridge running through the landscape, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an open, uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining room, or behind a low bed frame in a bedroom. Giving the photographic landscape room to breathe allows the expansive mountain backdrop to establish genuine visual depth. The strong tonal contrast between the bright sky, snowy peaks, and darker grassy slopes brings an open, atmospheric feel to both compact study spaces and larger reception rooms.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into natural materials and quiet textures that let the mountain photography take centre stage.

• Pair with warm, natural wood tones such as ash, lighter oak, or walnut to balance the monochromatic palette.
• Introduce tactile wool upholstery, relaxed linen drapery, or bouclé cushions that echo the rustic, alpine feel of the motif.
• Keep surrounding furniture profiles low and streamlined so the sheep and the mountain ridgeline remain unobstructed.
• Incorporate matte black metal accents or stone finishes to tie into the deep charcoal tones and rugged rock textures in the scene.

Colour combinations

The design itself is composed of crisp whites, soft greys, and deep charcoal and black tones. When choosing paint colours and finishes for adjacent walls, trim, or larger furniture, we suggest working with warm off-whites, soft chalky greys, or muted stone shades to maintain a cohesive, calm atmosphere. If you prefer more contrast, deep slate or charcoal grey on woodwork can frame the wall mural beautifully. Natural earthy accents like forest green, muted terracotta, or warm ochre in surrounding decor also pair effortlessly with the black and white landscape.
