Wallpaper - Junk

Photographed by Jan Becke, our Junk wallpaper captures a traditional red-sailed junk boat gliding across Victoria Harbour against the iconic Hong Kong skyline at golden hour. What we especially appreciate in this design is the balance between the open expanse of gentle blue-green water in the foreground and the architectural depth of modern skyscrapers rising into a warm sunset sky. Made to measure for your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wall murals feature a subtle physical structure in the paper and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition has an open lower half of water and a detailed upper horizon, this wallpaper works exceptionally well on an uninterrupted main wall in a living room or a dedicated home office study. In a living room, placing a low-profile sofa along the base lets the textured water anchor the seating area while leaving the junk boat and the dramatic skyline entirely visible above. For a study or vacation home, the wide perspective creates an open, tranquil backdrop that brings a sense of travel and atmosphere into the space without feeling crowded.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the architectural detail and water reflections remain the visual focus of the interior. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, paired with warm walnut or dark wood furniture, connects naturally to the timber tones of the traditional boat and the amber glow of the setting sun. Sleek black metal accents on lighting or shelving echo the sharp silhouettes of the cityscape, while simple textiles without competing patterns help maintain a calm, collected environment.

Color combinations

The design is defined by soft slate blues, cool teals, and dusky city grays, contrasted with the vivid terracotta red of the sails and the warm golden-amber light breaking across the skyline. To complement these shades, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft neutral off-whites, warm stone, or muted gray. For accent pieces, introducing warm terracotta, rich rust, or deep navy creates a natural dialogue with the boat and the harbor.
