Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep II

Our Wanaka Sheep II wallpaper, captured by Laura Marshall, brings the quiet drama of a high-country landscape onto the wall. This photographic mural wallpaper features sheep scattered across a grassy, sloping ridge in the foreground, set against a backdrop of distant snow-dusted mountains and an expansive sky filled with textured clouds. The monochromatic black-and-white treatment emphasizes the contrast between the dark hillside, the soft wool of the animals, and the bright peaks beyond. Made to measure for your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers introduce an open, scenic horizon to your room while maintaining a clear and grounded presence.

In the room

Because of the strong diagonal slope of the hillside and the vast sky above, we find this wall mural works exceptionally well on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room or primary bedroom, placing this design behind a low sofa or a headboard allows the sheep along the ridgeline and the distant mountain peaks to remain fully visible. The panoramic depth helps create a sense of open space, making it a thoughtful choice for rooms where you want to add visual depth without adding intense color. In a dining room or spacious entryway, the composition provides a striking scenic backdrop that naturally draws the eye across the room.

Styling it

The black-and-white photography pairs naturally with spaces that embrace clean lines and balanced, grounding materials. We suggest pairing this wallpaper with low-profile furniture in natural or blackened wood tones, which echo the deep shadows in the hillside. Adding soft, tactile elements such as wool throws, natural woven rugs, or simple linen upholstery helps connect with the rustic landscape subject while keeping the overall room calm and uncrowded. Keeping nearby wall decor minimal allows the expansive photographic perspective to serve as the clear focal point.

Color combinations

The design itself is built entirely on a tonal palette of deep charcoal, soft grays, bright whites, and muted sepia undertones in the photographic print. Around the wall mural, we suggest working with warm off-white or soft greige on adjoining walls and trim to maintain the airy feel of the cloud-filled sky. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal accents or dark graphite trim can pick up the rich tones of the shadowed ridge and frame the mural effectively.
