Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep I

Our Wanaka Sheep I wallpaper mural by Laura Marshall captures a photographic scene of sheep resting on a grassy alpine ridge against a dramatic backdrop of snow-dusted mountain peaks and an open sky. We particularly like the balance between the detailed foreground textures of the animals and rocky hillside and the sweeping, layered depth of the distant mountain ranges. Rendered in a striking monochrome black and white palette, the composition brings a tranquil yet expansive outdoor presence into the home. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the sweeping panoramic scale and clear horizon line, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Positioning the mural behind a low sofa or a bed frame allows the foreground sheep and grassy slope to ground the space naturally, while the dramatic snow-capped peaks and bright sky remain open and visible above eye level.

In rooms with plenty of daylight, the fine photographic details across the mountain ridges and soft fleece stand out with crisp clarity. For narrower spaces like a hallway or study, using this design across the main focal wall can introduce a strong sense of visual depth, opening up the room towards the alpine horizon.

Styling it

The black and white photographic nature of our mural makes it adaptable to both contemporary and rustic interior styles. We suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and warm, tactile materials to soften the monochrome contrast.

Natural timber furniture in warm oak or muted ash works beautifully against the cool mountain tones, bringing organic warmth to the space. For textiles, we recommend keeping upholstery and drapery relatively simple in solid textures, such as woven wools or relaxed linens, so the detailed landscape remains the central focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is composed of deep charcoal blacks, soft mid-tone greys, and crisp alpine whites.

To create a balanced and welcoming interior around it, we like combining this mural with surrounding walls painted in soft off-whites, chalky stone tones, or warm greys. If you prefer to add colour accents through furniture or decor, muted earth tones such as forest green, ochre, or terracotta complement the natural alpine imagery without competing with the black and white landscape.
