Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep I

Our Wanaka Sheep I wallpaper, created with Laura Marshall, captures a striking black and white photographic scene of sheep grazing along a rugged hillside against a sweeping backdrop of snow-dusted mountains. What we particularly like about this design is the quiet balance between the close-up texture of the animals on the slope and the expansive, dramatic depth of the alpine peaks in the distance. The monochrome tonal range moves smoothly from deep charcoal shadows to soft, bright sky tones. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expansive landscape composition and clear horizon, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full mountain panorama has space to unfold. In a living room behind a low sofa or across an open dining room wall, the scenery creates a natural sense of depth without overwhelming the space.

In a bedroom, positioning the design behind the headboard allows the dramatic peaks and soft sky to frame the room calmly. Because the focal elements sit naturally in the lower left and middle ground, lower furniture profiles leave the mountain peaks fully visible across the room.

Styling it

The black and white photographic style of our mural wallpapers makes them adaptable across modern rustic, contemporary, and minimalist interiors. To complement the earthy, rugged scenery, we would pair the wall mural with natural wood furniture, such as warm oak or deeper walnut, which brings warmth alongside the cool monochrome palette.

For surrounding textures, matte wool throws, structured linen upholstery, or dark matte metal accents echo the natural atmosphere of the image without competing with its tonal contrast. Keeping large furniture pieces relatively simple in silhouette allows the photography to remain the central feature of the space.

Color combinations

The design itself is built on a monochrome palette of crisp off-whites, varied mid-tone grays, and deep charcoal blacks.

When choosing colors for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we like pairing this wallpaper with soft off-white or light stone grays to keep the overall atmosphere airy and cohesive. For a more grounded, intimate setting, surrounding walls in deep slate, charcoal, or dark olive create a rich contrast that draws attention straight into the alpine vista.
