Wallpaper - Starry Mount Athabasca

Our Starry Mount Athabasca wallpaper mural brings together photographic detail, rugged alpine terrain, and the vast expanse of a clear night sky. Captured by Jim Wiebe, the design highlights the snow-dusted ridges and dark rocky face of Mount Athabasca beneath a deep navy sky filled with stars and the soft, glowing arc of the Milky Way. The high contrast between the bright snow and deep nighttime tones gives the scenery a quiet, immersive presence on the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room, we see this scenic wall mural working best across a main wall behind a low sofa, where the mountain peaks remain unobstructed and the starry sky can stretch upward toward the ceiling. The composition has a distinct horizontal balance, with the mountain range grounding the lower half while the open night sky occupies the upper portion. Because the visual detail is concentrated in the mountain ridges and the starlit atmosphere, giving the design a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full scope of the landscape to unfold naturally.

In a bedroom, our wallpaper creates a grounded backdrop behind a headboard. The deep navy sky brings a calm, tranquil mood to the space, especially under lower evening lighting when the brighter white snow and subtle starlight stand out with gentle contrast. For a home office, study, or library, positioning the mural along a wall facing your desk adds depth and a sense of open perspective to the room without overwhelming everyday work.

Styling it

To balance the deep palette and expansive nature of this photographic landscape, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated:

• Choose low-profile furniture in natural finishes such as warm walnut, muted ash, or matte black to let the mountain horizon sit comfortably above seating lines.
• Incorporate tactile textiles like washed wool or neutral woven throws to soften the space while complementing the cool, alpine character of the image.
• Use warm accent lighting, such as directional floor lamps or shaded sconces, to gently illuminate the lower room without washing out the deep dark tones of the sky.

Color combinations

The dominant colors within our wallpaper are deep navy, midnight blue, slate gray, and crisp snow white, with subtle variations of charcoal across the rocky mountainside.

When choosing paint colors and finishes for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we like pairing this design with off-white, soft stone gray, or a deep slate that echoes the mountain rock. If you prefer a more enveloping look in a bedroom or study, painting the surrounding walls and baseboards in a complementary deep navy helps blend the edges of the mural wallpaper seamlessly into the architecture of the room.
