Wallpaper - Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas

Our Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas wallpaper brings the open, painterly beauty of a rural landscape into your home. Designed by Sue Schlabach, this scenic motif captures an expansive green field split by a winding, reflective stream that leads the eye toward soft hills along the distant horizon. Overhead, an airy sky filled with soft clouds creates a peaceful sense of depth, brought to life through visible, oil-paint-style brushwork and rich canvas-like visual texture. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a gentle, nature-inspired focal point for any room.

In the room

Because this design functions as an expansive landscape painting, we particularly like using it across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon line and sweeping meadow can unfold naturally. In a living room, it works wonderfully as a main feature behind a sofa or along a wall opposite large windows, where the open scenery helps soften the boundaries of the room. The quiet, grounded presence of the marsh and waterway also suits dedicated spaces meant for unwinding, such as a quiet reading corner or a home meditation room, where the balance of sky blue and earthy green tones sets an inherently tranquil visual backdrop.

Styling it

The rich, painted quality of this design pairs naturally with understated, heritage-inspired decor and classic interiors that celebrate craftsmanship.

We would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively quiet to let the painted scenery carry the visual weight of the space. Natural materials such as warm-toned woods, including oak or walnut, complement the earthy greens and marshland tones without competing for attention. For seating and larger textiles, simple woven fabrics in oatmeal, soft cream, or muted moss allow the colors in the landscape to stand out while maintaining a calm, cohesive room.

Color combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centers on clear sky blue, soft cloud tones, and a spectrum of earthy meadow greens, grounded by the muted, dusky shades of the distant hills. When selecting colors for surrounding walls, trim, or painted furniture, soft off-whites and pale stone shades create a seamless, bright transition. For a cozier feel, deep olive or forest green drawn from the foreground foliage works beautifully on adjacent architectural details, while understated dusky blues echo the atmospheric depth of the water and sky.
