Wallpaper - Up High North

Our Up High North wallpaper, created by artist James Wiens, brings an expansive mountain landscape into the home through expressive, painterly brushwork. What we particularly like about this design is the quiet balance between the sweeping mountain peaks and the broad reflection across the water below. Deep hunter green slopes and earthy terracotta tones along the riverbanks ground the scenery, while the pale sky and mirrored water introduce an open, airy feeling across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and designed to give your space a calm, scenic backdrop.

In the room

Because this is a panoramic landscape with wide, horizontal brushstrokes and sweeping horizon lines, we think our design works best on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a sofa or along the main wall allows the entire valley view and mountain range to stretch across the room without feeling crowded. The tranquil scenery also makes it a wonderful fit for a dedicated meditation room, where the calm composition helps establish a serene atmosphere. We would give this design plenty of wall space so the scale of the landscape and the interplay between light and shadow can really be appreciated from across the room.

Styling it

When styling around this landscape, we like to let the artwork serve as the main focal point while surrounding it with grounded, understated furniture. Low-profile seating works especially well because it keeps the water reflection and middle ground of the painting in view.

Warm timber pieces, such as muted oak or walnut side tables, sit very naturally alongside the earthy tones in the riverbanks. We would keep large upholstered pieces in simple, textured fabrics rather than bold patterns, allowing the painterly strokes of the landscape to carry the room's visual texture.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by rich hunter green, soft ochre, warm terracotta banks, and the cool, pale blues and creams reflected in the water and sky. To create a cohesive interior, we suggest pulling directly from these earthy tones for your surrounding walls and woodwork.

A muted off-white or soft linen shade on adjacent walls keeps the room light and echoes the sky in the painting. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping feel, pairing this design with deep hunter green or warm stone trim enhances the natural depth of the mountains.
