Wallpaper - In the Distance

Our In the Distance wallpaper by Haley Knighten brings layered, painterly abstraction to the wall with broad brushstrokes and overlapping shapes. Deep forest greens and navy blues balance softer mint, sky blue, and crisp white passages, creating a composition with both visual weight and fluid movement. The oil paint aesthetic gives the motif a rich, textured appearance while remaining clean and contemporary in its overall geometry. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is custom made to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room behind a sofa or in a bedroom behind the headboard, where the large-scale painterly blocks have enough continuous space to unfold. Because the composition balances darker greens with airy light blues and whites, it anchors a seating area without making the room feel enclosed. In a home office or study, placing the mural on the main focal wall introduces artistic depth that enlivens the workspace during the day. For entryways and hallways, the horizontal and diagonal rhythm of the brushstrokes naturally guides the eye through the space.

Styling it

The modernist, Scandinavian-leaning character of the artwork pairs naturally with simple furniture lines and quiet materials. We suggest combining this wallpaper with light or medium wood tones, such as ash or natural oak, which echo the earthy green undertones without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding upholstery in understated neutrals, like off-white or soft grey, allows the expressive painterly forms to remain the primary visual focus of the room.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on deep forest green, navy, mint, sky blue, and white. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider bringing in adjacent wall colors or trims in soft off-white or pale chalky mint to pull out the lighter brushstrokes. For accents or surrounding decor, warm earthy tones or deep midnight blue will tie back into the darker layers of the motif.
