Wallpaper - Mountains Awake

Our Mountains Awake wallpaper, captured by photographer Lucas Tiefenthaler, captures a dramatic alpine peak breaking through dense, atmospheric cloud cover. What stands out to us is the striking colour contrast: the rugged, snow-dusted rock rises against a moody blue and grey sky, while the lower clouds glow with warm golden and dark orange tones. The photography lends a bold, expansive scale to the scene, creating a strong sense of depth and natural movement across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a grounded yet powerful landscape for the home.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on a main feature wall in a living room, where the panoramic scale of the mountain scenery has sufficient space to unfold. Because the composition carries a strong focal point with the snow-covered summit and illuminated cloud layers, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the full atmospheric depth to come through. In a meditation room or quiet lounge area, the earthy warmth of the glowing clouds creates an anchoring, grounded backdrop when placed behind low seating.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic presence of this photographic landscape, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and sculptural. Organic modern shapes in warm woods work particularly well alongside the earthy palette, mirroring the natural forms in the photograph without competing with them. Matte finishes, whether in dark painted cabinets or understated ceramics, ground the deeper grey and blue tones of the sky, letting the warm orange glow remain the central highlight of the space.

Colour combinations

The motif centres on dark orange and golden cloud tones balanced by cool blues, slate greys, and snowy off-white. When choosing paint for neighbouring walls, soft charcoal or muted slate blue can echo the upper sky and envelop the space. If you prefer a lighter look, a warm off-white or soft biscuit tone picks up on the illuminated mist and keeps the room bright while maintaining harmony with the wallpaper.
