Wallpaper - In the Distance

Our In the Distance wallpaper by Maggie Sackmann presents an evocative abstract landscape defined by atmospheric brushwork and soft, grounded tones. The upper half of the composition opens into a hazy, cloud-grey sky with quiet hints of pale blue along the distant horizon, while the lower section transitions into deep mossy greens, muted earth tones, and warm terracotta washes. Visible painted texture and fluid horizontal sweeps give the artwork a sense of open space and quiet depth. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition divides naturally between an open sky and richer, weightier foreground tones, we find this mural wallpaper works exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or dedicated home study. The broad horizontal flow draws the eye across the room, which can help visually expand a space without overwhelming it with rigid pattern. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed allows the darker earthy base to anchor the sleeping area while the pale sky provides an airy, open feeling above head height. In a dining room or library, generous natural daylight brings out the subtle shifts between the deeper forest greens and softer ochre undertones.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer to let the soft painterly movement of the wallpaper remain the focal point of the interior. Low-profile furniture with clean, understated lines complements the expansive horizon line without cluttering the visual field.

To harmonise with the natural landscape motif, we suggest pairing the wall mural with warm wood tones such as oak or walnut, alongside soft upholstery in woven wool or unbleached linen. Keeping surrounding decorative accents simple and tactile allows the artwork's gentle brushstrokes and tonal balance to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper palette combines cloud grey, soft sky blue, and off-white in the upper portion, grounded by deep olive green, muted moss, warm sand, and terracotta in the foreground.

For adjoining painted walls and woodwork, we recommend echoing the paler tones from the sky, such as chalky off-whites or soft misty greys, to keep the overall atmosphere light and seamless. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the deeper olive or earthy terracotta tones for curtains, large rugs, or upholstery creates a wonderfully cohesive and grounded interior.
