Wallpaper - Canal Reflections

Our Canal Reflections wallpaper brings together historic waterfront architecture and modern glass design in a balanced, photographic scene. Captured by Jan Becke, the composition centres on red brick warehouses with tall arched windows mirrored in the calm water of a canal. In the background, a curved glass building creates a clean architectural contrast, while a small green boat, a metal bridge, and leafy trees introduce natural detail beneath a bright blue sky. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals, our wallpapers feature a subtle physical structure in the paper and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the photographic perspective creates a clear sense of depth, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or home office. Giving the mural wallpapers an uninterrupted wall allows the full architectural reflection and the horizontal span of the water to open up the room. In a bedroom or study, placing the mural behind a bed or low desk keeps the focal point high enough that the interplay between the historic brickwork and modern glass remains fully visible.

Styling it

To let the detailed architecture remain the focal point, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Contemporary and transitional interiors work naturally with the balance of historic red brick and modern curved glass in the image. Choosing furniture in muted, neutral finishes or warm wood allows the strong red and blue tones of the mural to stand out without competing against complex patterns in the rest of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by warm brick red, earthy terracotta, and deep browns, contrasted with crisp glass blues, sky tones, and touches of foliage green. Around the wall mural, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites, gentle stone greys, or muted slate blues drawn directly from the water and sky. These surrounding shades frame the vibrant red brickwork naturally without overwhelming the space.
