Wallpaper - Salt Lake II

Our Salt Lake II wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings a calm, earthy composition to the wall through broad horizontal washes of watercolour. Tonal layers of warm brown, caramel, beige, and off-white blend across the surface, grounded by a deeper gradient near the top and balanced by a crisp band of white running through the middle. The soft, fluid brushwork in the lower half adds an organic, painted character that works beautifully across an accent wall or continuous interior space. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and easy to live with.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want a grounded, quiet atmosphere, such as a bedroom or a primary living room. Because the composition is arranged in wide horizontal bands, it naturally accentuates the width of a room, making it a thoughtful choice behind a low sofa or as a backdrop to a bed. On a wide, uninterrupted wall, the gentle graduation from dark to light brown has the space to unfold without visual interruption, creating depth without demanding too much visual noise. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet seating corner, the soft watercolour transitions provide a gentle, meditative focal point.

Styling it

The fluid lines and warm, earthy palette pair naturally with organic modern and contemporary interiors. We like keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded to reflect the quiet rhythm of the design.

Low-profile furniture in natural finishes works particularly well here, allowing the horizontal flow of the wallpaper to remain unobstructed. Upholstered pieces in textured, tactile weaves such as bouclé, unbleached linen, or soft wool in oatmeal and cream complement the painted watercolor textures. For hard furnishings, consider warm wood tones or matte ceramic accents that mirror the caramel and brown tones in the motif without introducing competing surface patterns.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a warm palette of caramel, soft brown, earthy beige, and clean off-white.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from these earthy undertones. Warm stone, soft putty, and muted off-whites create a seamless, harmonious transition around the room. If you prefer a richer contrast, pairing this design with deeper umber or espresso accents in your larger furniture pieces highlights the darker watercolor strokes at the top of the mural.
