Wallpaper - Big Sky

Our Big Sky wallpaper mural, created in collaboration with artist Julia Purinton, captures the quiet beauty of an open horizon where soft sky meets calm water. Rendered in a painterly, impressionistic style with visible brushwork and gentle canvas texture in the artwork, the composition balances billowy clouds and subtle atmospheric layers in powdery blues, pale sky tones, soft greys, and off-white. What we particularly appreciate is how the gentle gradation draws the eye outward, creating a wonderful feeling of airiness and visual space. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the artwork features a low horizon line and expansive atmospheric clouds, we think it works remarkably well across a main feature wall in a bedroom or a living room. Placing the horizon behind a low headboard or a sleek sofa allows the vast sky to open up the room above, giving the space an airy, uncluttered feel.

In a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area, we would consider wrapping the design across adjacent walls to build a truly immersive, serene environment. The softer contrast and fluid shifts between cloud and water mean the mural never overwhelms smaller or medium-sized rooms, while larger rooms with good daylight allow the subtle tonal variations in the brushstrokes to come alive.

Styling it

To complement the painterly, organic modern feel of this mural wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture and accents that share a calm, grounded simplicity.

Low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones, such as pale ash, bleached oak, or natural birch, sits comfortably against the horizon line without interrupting the visual flow of the artwork. For larger upholstered pieces and window dressings, tactile woven fabrics like relaxed linen and soft wool bouclé in cream, ivory, or sand echo the gentle brushwork of the clouds. Keeping decorative accessories understated, perhaps with unglazed ceramics or smooth river stones, lets the quiet presence of the wall mural take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Big Sky mural centres on cool, soothing hues: soft sky blue, mist grey, pale slate, and chalky white, subtly warmed by undertones of sand and seafoam along the waterline.

When decorating surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend continuing this harmonious feel with complementary neutrals. Off-whites with neutral or slightly cool undertones provide a clean, fresh transition. If you prefer a richer, more cocooning palette, a muted coastal blue or soft dove grey on neighbouring walls or skirting boards grounds the light tones of the sky beautifully.
