Wallpaper - Up High North

Our Up High North wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist James Wiens, brings an expansive Nordic mountain vista into the home through rich oil paint brushwork. The composition captures sunlight breaking across rugged mountain peaks, illuminating a sweeping valley floor and still water below. Deep hunter green slopes and slate blues anchor the foreground and sky, while warm terracotta, ochre, and soft cream highlights lend a tranquil, painterly glow to the landscape. We produce this design as a made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving the impressionist landscape depth and presence on the wall.

In the room

Because of the sweeping horizon and layered mountain peaks, we find this mural wallpaper works best on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full scenic depth can unfold naturally. In a living room, placing the design along the main wall behind a low sofa gives the impression of looking out into a quiet northern landscape. The panoramic scale creates an expansive feel without overwhelming the space, thanks to the balanced, earthy color palette.

In a dedicated meditation room or quiet reading space, the serene water reflections and soft mountain silhouettes set a grounding backdrop. Natural daylight brings out the subtle brushstroke transitions between deep valley greens and golden hillside highlights, making the room feel open and connected to nature throughout the day.

Styling it

The expressive, impressionist brushstrokes of this wall mural provide plenty of visual character, so we recommend keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded. Low-profile seating and unadorned architectural lines prevent the space from feeling cluttered and keep the horizon visible across the room.

To echo the natural tones of the landscape, we like pairing this wallpaper with warm, unvarnished wood furniture and simple matte accents. Surrounding fabrics in textured wool or plain woven cotton in muted sand, charcoal, or forest green will complement the scene while letting the painted peaks remain the focal point of your interior.

Color combinations

The wallpaper draws on an earthy palette of deep hunter green, slate blue, warm terracotta, sunlit ochre, and soft cream.

To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pulling the warm, muted terracotta or soft stone white onto adjoining walls, window trim, or ceiling moldings. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping room, dark moss green or slate gray on adjacent surfaces complements the deeper tones in the mountain shadows and water reflections.
