Wallpaper - Wind on the Water

Created in collaboration with artist Laura Horn, our Wind on the Water wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly composition into your home. The abstract design layers broad, blended brushstrokes with delicate intersecting lines, balancing cool teal, blue, and green hues against soft purple tones, gentle peach notes, and white accents. Its layered opacity and painterly visual texture give the motif a tranquil, dreamy depth that feels open rather than overwhelming. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic atmosphere to any wall.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full movement of Laura Horn's brushwork has space to unfold. In a living room, placing the wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the fluid teal and blue passages establish a serene backdrop without competing for vertical space. The layered, rhythmic lines also make it a natural choice for a quiet reading corner or a dedicated home meditation space, where the tranquil colour transitions create a grounded, contemplative setting. Because the pattern relies on gentle gradients rather than sharp geometric contrast, it sits comfortably across larger surfaces without dominating the entire room.

Styling it

The organic modern character of this design pairs naturally with an interior that favours soft silhouettes and understated finishes. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively simple so the visual movement of the wall murals remains the focal point.

Low-profile seating in neutral woven fabrics works particularly well, anchoring the space while allowing the artwork to breathe. For hard surfaces, warm timber pieces or matte stone accents provide a balanced contrast to the cool teal and earthy undertones in the print. Keeping decorative objects restrained and choosing uncluttered shapes ensures the room feels cohesive and calm.

Colour combinations

Our mural wallpapers feature a rich spectrum of oceanic teal, soft blue, and muted green, gently balanced by touches of purple, subtle peach, and crisp white.

When choosing shades for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we like pairing this design with muted off-whites, pale stone, or soft greige to keep the surrounding space light and airy. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper teal or slate blue for nearby doors, skirting, or upholstery creates a sophisticated, tonal dialogue throughout the interior.
