Wallpaper - Herring River

Our Herring River wallpaper brings a tranquil coastal marsh scene into the home, captured through the lens of photographer Jocelyn Elizabeth. The composition centres on a quiet river winding through vibrant green grasses, reflecting the soft blush pink and subtle orange hues of an early evening sky. A dense line of deep green woodland grounds the distant horizon, while a single bird glides across open, lightly clouded skies. The balance between earthy forest tones and warm pastel sky light gives this landscape mural an open, grounded feel. Produced to order as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, our wall murals are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly and straightforwardly.

In the room

Because this design features an expansive scenic horizon, we see it working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where the river and distant tree line have space to unfold naturally. In a living room or a dedicated reading space, positioning the wallpaper behind a sofa or low seating allows the open sky and gentle water reflections to remain in full view. The horizontal depth of the scenic photograph also makes it a natural fit for a vacation home or a quiet meditation space, introducing an airy outdoor perspective without overwhelming the room. If your room receives soft afternoon light, the blush pink sky tones pick up the warm daylight especially well.

Styling it

To complement the New England landscape character of our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture and architectural elements that feel classic and grounded.

• Choose warm mid-toned timber furniture or painted cabinetry in soft off-white to balance the deep greens of the marshland.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics relatively simple, opting for woven natural textures in cream, sand, or muted oatmeal so the scenic composition remains the central focus.
• Add simple ceramic or unlacquered metal accents, such as aged brass lighting or understated iron hardware, to echo the traditional coastal aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a gentle contrast between blush pink, pale coral sky tones, and rich earthy greens found in the riverbanks and horizon woodland. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, skirting, or doors, soft warm neutrals such as linen white, chalky greige, or pale stone echo the lighter parts of the sky without clashing. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling out the dark moss or forest green from the distant trees creates an enveloping, cohesive palette across woodwork or adjoining joinery.
