Wallpaper - Old Houses in Umbria

Created by Silvia Vassileva, our Old Houses in Umbria wallpaper captures the rustic charm of an Italian village through an expressive, painterly composition. The design brings together sun-warmed stone facades, arched doorways, and terracotta rooftops rendered in rich ochre, warm terracotta, soft beige, and accents of muted blue. With its soft oil paint aesthetic and painterly brushstrokes, it introduces an artistic, welcoming atmosphere to any interior. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and are completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper that complements the artwork.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a focal point across an uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. Because the composition has vertical depth with its layered townhouses and arched alleyways, placing it behind a dining table, a low sofa, or a bed frame allows the architectural details and upper buildings to remain prominent. In a study, home office, or hallway, the warm earthy tones create an inviting and settled backdrop without overwhelming the space.

Styling it

To complement the traditional architectural theme and painterly character of this wallpaper, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture grounded and natural:

• Pair with warm wood tones, such as natural oak, walnut, or rustic timber pieces that echo the organic, traditional feel of the Italian townscape.
• Choose neutral upholstery and simple textured linens in cream, oatmeal, or soft grey to let the vibrant facade colours stand out as the primary visual focus.
• Incorporate subtle matte bronze, aged brass, or iron accents in lighting fixtures and hardware to mirror the historic, Mediterranean spirit of the scene.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a palette of warm ochre, burnt terracotta, sandy beige, and rustic browns, contrasted gently by slate grey skies and hints of muted denim blue in the windows and doors. When decorating around this wallpaper, warm off-whites, gentle stone tones, and sandy beiges on adjacent walls and woodwork will create a seamless, harmonious transition. For accent pieces, introducing deeper terracotta tones or soft muted blues from the mural adds depth while tying the whole room together.
