Wallpaper - Big Splash

Our Big Splash wallpaper brings the raw, dramatic scale of Arctic glacial landscapes into the room. Captured by photographer Ric Jacyno, the composition centres on a towering glacier wall marked by deep fissures, jagged ice formations, and intense aquamarine blue tones. The scene captures the exact moment massive ice chunks calve into the calm, grey-green water below, throwing up a spray of white mist while smaller ice floes drift across the surface. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper, this photographic mural wallpaper offers an expansive scenic vista that creates an immediate focal point.

In the room

In a living room, study, or home library, this design works best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the full horizontal expanse of the glacial face can unfold without being clipped by heavy storage units. The powerful horizontal division between the compressed ice wall and the dark water gives the room a grounded, expansive depth. In rooms with cooler northern daylight, the crisp aquamarines and whites feel vivid and fresh, while warm ambient lamps in the evening soften the stark contrast and bring out the subtle grey-green undertones in the water.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic visual impact and cold palette of the photograph, we suggest introducing materials with physical warmth and clean silhouettes. Smooth oak or lighter birch furniture creates a calm, grounding counterpoint against the icy tones, preventing the space from feeling clinical. We would keep large upholstered furniture in low-contrast neutral fabrics, such as unbleached linen or soft grey wool, allowing the crisp architectural detail of the ice peaks to draw the eye without visual competition from competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by striking aquamarine blues, cold glacier teals, crisp white crests, and muted grey-green water tones, punctuated by deep slate shadows. To complement these hues on surrounding surfaces, soft off-white or subtle stone grey on neighbouring walls keeps the room open and airy. For trim, joinery, or accent pieces, deeper navy, charcoal slate, or muted sage green pick up the dark cracks and water tones in the print, tying the entire interior together naturally.
