Wallpaper - Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas

Our Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas wallpaper brings the open expanse of a countryside landscape indoors, created in collaboration with artist Sue Schlabach. The design centres on a peaceful rural vista with an expressive sky of soft, layered clouds, sweeping green pasture, and a winding reflective stream that catches the light. Rendered with an oil-painted visual character and canvas-like painted texture, gentle muted hills sit along the horizon to give the scenery a balanced sense of depth. Produced made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this landscape mural creates an expansive, tranquil focal point across any wall.

In the room

Because the composition opens upwards into generous sky, we especially like this design on larger, uninterrupted wall areas in a living room. Placing the horizon at eye level behind a low sofa or credenza allows the broad fields and curving water to ground the space while the upper clouds lend an airy, open feeling to the room. In a quiet reading corner, meditation space, or bedroom, the natural vista works beautifully as a standalone feature wall, drawing the gaze outward across peaceful greenery without overwhelming the surrounding interior.

Styling it

The heritage, oil-painted character of this artwork pairs naturally with classic and country-inspired interiors as well as softer modern homes. To balance the painterly detail of the landscape, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded. Warm, unpainted wood pieces with gentle graining complement the natural theme, while simple upholstery in muted neutral tones lets the rich greens and sky blues carry the visual interest. Low-profile furniture works particularly well here, ensuring the lower water and meadow elements remain visible across the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper brings together clear sky blues and soft white cloud tones with rich, earthy greens and muted hill shades along the horizon. To build a harmonious room scheme, we recommend pairing the design with surrounding walls painted in chalky off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit hues that reflect the light upper half of the scenery. For woodwork, skirting, or larger accent pieces, deeper forest greens or muted olive tones draw out the lush tones in the marshland.
