Wallpaper - The Mountains Are Calling

Created by Omar Escalante, our The Mountains Are Calling wallpaper brings a retro travel poster aesthetic to life through bold graphic illustration and a warm, earthy palette. The scenic composition depicts a classic yellow camper van parked by a lake, with two figures sitting on the roof gazing out towards towering, snow-capped mountain peaks beneath an amber sky and a crescent moon. Rich tones of warm orange, ochre, slate blue, deep forest green, and cool neutrals create striking visual contrast and depth. Produced to your exact wall dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle paper texture that is simple to hang.

In the room

Because this design functions as a full landscape illustration with distinct horizontal layers and central focal points, we find it works best on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room or study, placing our mural wallpapers behind a low sofa, credenza, or desk ensures the camper van and distant mountain ridge remain prominently visible. The horizontal sweep of the shoreline and distant horizon creates an expansive feel, making it an engaging focal point in a creative home studio or vacation home.

Styling it

The distinct vintage travel illustration style pairs naturally with mid-century modern furniture and eclectic, retro-inspired decor. We suggest choosing low-profile furniture in warm woods like teak, oak, or walnut to complement the earthy grounding tones of the landscape without blocking the lower scenery.

For surrounding textures, matte finishes and natural woven textiles in olive, rust, or deep navy balance the clean vector lines of the illustration. Keeping adjacent accessories relatively minimal lets the graphic storytelling of our wall murals take center stage.

Colour combinations

Our design features a rich mix of warm and cool tones, anchored by golden orange, mustard, deep navy blue, forest green, muted sage, and creamy off-whites along the snowy peaks.

To create a balanced interior, we recommend drawing from the wallpaper's subtle backdrop tones for surrounding walls and woodwork. Muted warm off-whites or soft stone shades echo the sky and snow, keeping the room bright and grounded. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, pairing the mural with adjacent walls in deep slate blue or pine green will draw out the rich shadows in the foreground.
