Wallpaper - Obsidian Tide

Our Obsidian Tide wallpaper mural, created by Maggie Sackmann, captures the atmospheric calm of a misty coastline where dense pine woods meet the sea. On the left, tall dark trees rise through a soft, hazy sky, grounding the composition before sweeping down into rugged shorelines and calm, open water touched by gentle white surf. Rendered with the visual depth of an oil painting, the design layers charcoal greys, soft blues, and muted dark tones to create a balanced, contemplative landscape across the wall. Made to measure for your dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the composition naturally transitions from the dense forest on the left to open water and sky on the right, we find this mural wallpaper works particularly well on wider, uninterrupted walls. In a living room or bedroom, placing the heavier woodland section toward a room corner allows the lighter coastal horizon to open up the rest of the space. It also brings a grounded, quiet presence to a dedicated study or dining room, especially where low-profile furniture leaves the sweep of the coastline and misty treeline fully visible.

Styling it

The painterly, impressionistic feel of the landscape pairs naturally with organic modern and Scandinavian interiors that prioritise clean silhouettes and tactile simplicity.

• Pair with lighter or warm wood furniture to balance the deep charcoal and slate tones without competing with the scenery.
• Choose low-backed sofas, unadorned headboards, or minimal consoles to keep the horizon line and water reflections unobstructed.
• Incorporate neutral woven textiles and matte ceramic finishes to echo the rugged, natural feel of the shoreline.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on charcoal grey, soft mist grey, deep ocean blue, and subtle touches of off-white in the breaking waves. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing the mural with surrounding walls in pale chalky greys, muted slate, or warm off-whites. If you want a moodier, enveloping scheme in a bedroom or study, deep charcoal or midnight blue on adjacent walls and woodwork will seamlessly frame the misty coastline.
