Wallpaper - Town by the River

Our Town by the River wallpaper brings painterly energy to your space with an abstract cityscape created by artist Silvia Vassileva. Broad, expressive brushstrokes in warm terracotta, vivid yellow, soft sage green, and cool teal build an architectural silhouette reflected across shimmering water. The composition balances geometric forms along the horizon with open, light-filled brushwork across the sky and foreground, giving the design a lively, artistic presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle structure in the paper that complements its painted look.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in an open living room or a dedicated creative home studio. Because the cityscape clusters across the lower-to-middle portion of the composition, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or floating sideboard leaves the skyline and expressive brushwork fully visible. The broad horizontal strokes expand the perceived width of a room, making it an excellent choice for a wider uninterrupted wall where the full painted scene can stretch out. In a room with ample natural daylight, the warm ochres and cool water tones capture different nuances throughout the day, shifting smoothly under softer evening lamp light.

Styling it

To let the expressive colorwork of the mural take center stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded with clean, contemporary silhouettes. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery helps anchor the space without competing with the dynamic brushstrokes above.

When bringing in accent pieces, echo the architectural geometry through simple, unadorned surfaces. Natural mid-tone woods or smooth painted finishes provide a quiet counterweight to the textured, colorful horizon.

Color combinations

Our design features a lively palette of rich terracotta, cadmium yellow, soft sage, muted teal, warm ochre, and deep crimson, all set against an airy ground of mint, sky blue, and pale stone. To create a cohesive look around the wallpaper, consider pulling out the soft sage or warm off-white for adjacent painted walls. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep teal or warm rust accents in cushions, ceramics, or drapery will tie directly into the painterly reflections across the waterfront.
