Wallpaper - River Trout Study II

Our River Trout Study II wallpaper, created by Haley Knighten, brings together layered vertical strips in an abstract collage composition. The design balances olive green, earthy brown, warm orange, gray, blue, and beige, with overlapping elements varying in width and height to create visual depth and subtle translucency across the surface. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is the rhythm of the vertical bands, which gives the artwork an expressive, grounded character. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions, PVC-free, and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room or home office, the vertical orientation of the artwork naturally draws the eye upward, making it an effective choice for a feature wall behind a sofa or an executive desk. Because the collage is built from distinct geometric layers and contrasting tones, we suggest placing it on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the composition can be appreciated. In spaces with standard ceiling heights, the elongated vertical strips help reinforce a sense of height. For a dedicated study or open-plan living area, this wall mural works well as a visual anchor that defines the seating or work zone without needing competing wall decor.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, contemporary lines to complement the structured collage format. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery lets the bold artwork remain the primary focus, while warm wood accents such as walnut or natural oak connect naturally with the earthy brown and beige tones in the print.

To maintain visual balance, keep surrounding accessories relatively simple. Matte ceramic vessels or dark metal hardware in blackened iron or bronze echo the graphic definition within the vertical bands without cluttering the space.

Color combinations

The palette within the wallpaper combines olive green, muted gray, cool blue, earthy brown, beige, and warm orange accents. For adjacent painted surfaces, soft off-whites, warm stone, or light greige provide a calm, cohesive backdrop that lets the deeper tones stand out. If you prefer a richer atmosphere, bringing the olive green or deep slate gray onto adjacent walls, built-in shelving, or window trim creates an enveloping, cohesive interior.
