Wallpaper - Western Sketchbook

Created by artist Kristy Rice, our Western Sketchbook wallpaper captures the open, spontaneous feel of an outdoor landscape study. Fluid watercolour washes in warm saffron, terracotta, soft earth tones, and a striking plume of deep indigo are anchored by loose graphite sketch lines defining a rugged mountain ridge. With its generous white background and expressive composition, this mural wallpaper brings an airy, modern character to an accent wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, each piece is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a bright living room or a dedicated study, where the expansive white negative space can breathe. Because the mountain formation rises toward the centre of the composition, placing it along a main feature wall, such as behind a low sofa or a streamlined desk, keeps the artistic focal point completely visible. In rooms with plenty of daylight, the soft transitions between the earthy terracotta washes, bright saffron accents, and contrasting indigo sky stand out with clarity.

Styling it

To complement the light, sketchbook aesthetic of our wall murals, we recommend pairing this design with contemporary or Scandinavian-inspired furniture featuring clean, low profiles.

• Choose lighter wood furniture, such as pale ash or natural oak, to mirror the organic warmth of the landscape tones.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger textiles in simple, unpatterned natural fabrics to ensure the wall remains the primary visual statement.
• Use subtle black metal accents on table frames or lighting fixtures to echo the delicate pencil line work in the motif.

Colour combinations

The motif combines warm saffron and earthy terracotta with quiet sage greens, pale stone washes, and a bold touch of rich indigo against a clean, off-white backdrop. On surrounding walls, we suggest matching the light ground with a warm off-white or soft linen shade to maintain an open and seamless feeling throughout the room. If you prefer more definition, pulling a muted terracotta or deep indigo onto woodwork, shelving, or accent cushions creates a considered, grounded contrast.
