Wallpaper - Telling Skies

Created by Julia Purinton, our Telling Skies wallpaper captures an expansive coastal horizon bathed in soft, luminous light. The design features layered, painterly clouds rolling over a tranquil sea, rendered with the gentle brushwork and subtle visual texture of an oil painting. Tones of warm white, delicate peach, hazy cream, and gentle grey-buff blend softly into one another, creating an open and serene atmosphere on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural, this design brings a quiet sense of depth to interior spaces while remaining effortless to live with.

In the room

We love how this landscape composition anchors a room without ever overwhelming it. Because the horizon line sits lower in the frame with expansive cloud formations drifting above, the wallpaper naturally draws the eye upward, making it an exceptional choice for a bedroom wall behind a headboard or a dedicated meditation space. In a larger room, giving the mural an uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the atmospheric sky and distant shoreline to unfold. In more compact settings, the gentle contrast and pale palette help keep the space feeling airy and expansive rather than enclosed. Natural daylight brings out the delicate warmth in the peach and cream tones, while warm artificial lighting in the evening emphasizes the soft, blended depth of the clouds.

Styling it

Because Telling Skies has such a soft, painterly presence, we suggest pairing it with furniture that shares its organic modern character. Simple, low-profile pieces let the horizon line remain prominent, while unadorned silhouettes keep the room feeling uncluttered and peaceful.

Surrounding the wallpaper with tactile, understated materials works beautifully. We would look toward pale, unfinished woods like white oak or bleached ash to echo the natural warmth of the palette, paired with soft, textured textiles in unbleached cotton or washed linen. Keeping decorative accessories minimal and focusing on clean, sculptural shapes allows the scenic depth of the wall mural to serve as the true focal point.

Color combinations

The wallpaper itself is defined by a gentle palette of warm white, hazy peach, soft cream, and subtle muted grey undertones. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, consider warm alabaster, chalky off-white, or a delicate pale sand that seamlessly extends the background tones of the sky. If you prefer a bit more contrast in your trim or accent pieces, soft pebble grey, muted taupe, or weathered clay tones will pick up on the deeper, shadowy areas of the cloud cover and ground the space.
