Wallpaper - Apres Ski

Our Apres Ski wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings a playful 1960s alpine narrative to life through bold flat illustrations and screenprint-inspired charm. At the centre, a stylish skier in a white suit, red lipstick, and blue goggles holds a warm mug topped with whipped cream. Around her, a red cable car glides across snowy peaks and pine trees, while skiers race down the slopes under a sky filled with stylised snowflakes and clouds. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle texture in the paper, this design brings vibrant energy to any feature wall.

In the room

We love seeing this design take centre stage in lively social areas and relaxed spaces. In a living room, it works wonderfully across a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa, allowing the full mountain panorama, cable car, and slope details to unfold across the entire surface. The bold graphic composition and crisp contrast also make it an exciting focal point for a playroom, teenage bedroom, or games room where its retro character can set a fun, spirited tone. Because the visual narrative has clear foreground figures and energetic background movement, we recommend placing it on a wall that is relatively clear of tall, obstructing bookcases so the storytelling remains easy to enjoy.

Styling it

The distinct sixties graphic style pairs naturally with mid-century modern shapes and clean lines. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively simple so the dynamic artwork can lead the space without visual competition.

Low-profile lounge seating in warm neutral upholstery or rich painted finishes allows the bold blues and reds in the mural to stand out. Simple lighting with clean geometric curves or vintage-inspired pendants complements the retro illustration style without cluttering the eye line.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built around a vibrant palette of sky blue, bright crimson red, pops of pink, and crisp snowy white. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, a clean, soft off-white or a very pale sky blue creates a seamless, airy backdrop that echoes the alpine sky.

If you want to lean into the design's energetic character, bringing small touches of rich red or warm timber tones into accent pieces, cushions, or painted trim picks up on the cabins and cable cars in the scene, tying the whole room together comfortably.
