Wallpaper - Follow Rivers

Our Follow Rivers wallpaper captures an expansive river gorge framed by towering cliff faces, dense woodland, and open sky. Created in collaboration with James Schwabel, the design pairs the cool tones of calm water and clear sky with earthy rock strata in warm greys and muted orange. Along the banks and cliff edges, autumn foliage adds accents of golden yellow, deep green, and burnt amber, creating a balanced landscape with natural depth and open perspective. Produced custom to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture, making them straightforward to hang in any interior.

In the room

In a living room, this scenic landscape works particularly well across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the canyon and river curve can be appreciated without visual breaks. The strong horizontal line of the water and the vertical rise of the rock faces create a feeling of openness, making the mural wallpapers an effective choice behind a low-profile sofa or on a main accent wall. For a vacation home or sitting room with generous window light, the natural daylight brings out the subtle shifts between the warm rock striations and the cool sky. We recommend keeping taller furniture away from the main composition so the central river view remains clear.

Styling it

Because the landscape carries a rich mix of earthy stone tones and vibrant autumn foliage, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture in warm woods or muted neutral upholstery. A simple sofa in charcoal, oatmeal, or soft grey lets the colours in the landscape stand out naturally. To complement the organic scenery without overcrowding the room, consider minimalist metal accents in matte black or brushed bronze, alongside unpatterned woven textiles like wool or heavy linen that add physical warmth without competing with the detailed scenery.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a harmonious balance of earthy greys, terracotta oranges, forest greens, and bright sky blues. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, soft stone greys, muted warm taupes, or off-whites work seamlessly alongside the rock formations. If you want to draw out the richer seasonal tones, accents in ochre, rust, or deep moss green on cushions and throws will connect directly with the foliage along the cliffs.
