Wallpaper - First View of the Water

Our First View of the Water wallpaper mural, created by artist Julia Purinton, captures an atmospheric landscape with an impressionistic, painterly character. The composition balances a grounded foreground of grassy green tones with dark, softly blurred clusters of trees and a subtle band of soft lavender along the horizon. Above, an expansive, open sky in gentle cream and pale ivory tones brings quiet airiness to the upper wall. The visible brushwork and soft transitions give our mural wallpapers an artistic presence that anchors an interior without overwhelming it. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the horizon line sits in the lower third of the composition, this wallpaper brings an open, airy feeling to a room while keeping the grounded weight close to the floor. In a living room, we especially like seeing this design on a main feature wall behind a low-profile sofa, where the darker tree line and green field frame the seating area while the pale sky flows upward toward the ceiling. It also works naturally in a quiet meditation room or reading space, where the broad horizontal composition and soft visual boundaries create an understated backdrop. Giving the mural an uninterrupted wall allows the subtle gradient between field, distant landscape, and sky to unfold smoothly across the space.

Styling it

To complement the painterly aesthetic of this design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes simple and unfussy. Low-slung seating and minimalist shelving allow the horizontal landscape to remain the primary visual focus.

Natural, unrefined materials pair exceptionally well with the earthy palette. We would pair this wallpaper with warm, mid-tone woods or weathered timber finishes that echo the natural landscape elements. Layering in textured textiles, such as unbleached linen upholstery or a neutral flat-weave rug, adds warmth to the room while honoring the understated, heritage feel of the artwork.

Color combinations

The design features a nuanced palette of grassy olive greens, deep charcoal greens in the tree silhouettes, warm cream, and a delicate touch of lavender mist along the horizon line.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, creamy off-whites and pale ivory draw out the luminous sky tones and keep the room bright and cohesive. For a slightly moodier or more enveloping palette, pulling out the muted olive green or soft stone gray from the lower field creates a sophisticated, tonal transition between the wallpaper and the surrounding room.
