Wallpaper - Highlands

Our Highlands wallpaper presents an expansive landscape reminiscent of nineteenth-century botanical and zoological illustrations. Designed by Haitham, the scenic composition centers around a tall, branching tree crowned with soft earthen foliage, flanked by rocky outcrops, palms, and distant forested ridges. A pair of antelopes, an armadillo near a quiet pool, and colorful birds and butterflies bring narrative detail into the scenic mural. Earthy greens, warm sandstone, ochre, and soft cream tones build an atmospheric depth across the wall. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper is easy to hang and creates an immersive decorative centerpiece.

In the room

Because Highlands is composed as a wide scenic landscape rather than a repeating geometric motif, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full panorama can unfold. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low sofa keeps the central tree, rocky formations, and wildlife in clear view while the soft sky provides breathing room toward the ceiling.

In a home library or study, the classic nineteenth-century illustration style feels particularly fitting. Surrounding the mural with lower built-in bookcases or an open desk arrangement lets the detailed foreground figures remain visible. The muted, earthy color palette also handles fluctuating daylight gracefully, revealing finer watercolor-like tonal shifts in bright natural light while maintaining a calm, enveloping presence in softer evening lamp light.

Styling it

To complement the rich illustration without overwhelming the space, we suggest pairing Highlands with classic materials and grounded silhouettes:

• Lean into warm wood tones such as aged oak, walnut, or antique mahogany to echo the traditional heritage aesthetic of the landscape.
• Choose upholstered seating in subdued linen, velvet, or wool in neutral shades like warm oatmeal, deep olive, or saddle leather to ground the foreground.
• Incorporate vintage-inspired accents such as aged brass lighting, antique botanical books, or simple stoneware ceramics that reflect the naturalist themes.

Color combinations

The artwork is built upon an earthy foundation of fern green, forest tones, warm stone, ochre, and soft parchment creams, punctuated by smaller accents of slate blue, rust, and black.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, baseboards, and ceiling trims, we recommend soft warm whites or muted bone tones to blend seamlessly with the sky area of the mural. For a more dramatic, enclosed study or library feel, pulling the deep olive or fern green from the foliage onto surrounding painted walls and millwork creates a cohesive and immersive environment.
