Wallpaper - Salt Lake I

Our Salt Lake I wallpaper, created by Chris Paschke, brings broad, horizontal watercolour washes together to form a soft, horizon-like landscape. Warm shades of brown, caramel, and muted blush pink blend into airy white areas, anchored by a deeper horizontal band through the middle that gives the composition its sense of distance and depth. The fluid, layered brushwork lends the wall a gentle rhythm without demanding sharp focal attention. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and creates an understated, grounded backdrop.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room or bedroom where the horizontal expanse of the watercolour bands has space to stretch across the room. Placed behind a low-profile sofa or headboard, the central darker horizon naturally frames the seating or sleeping area while keeping the upper portion of the wall light and open. In a home office, the muted gradient offers visual depth across the room without creating distracting geometric repetition behind a desk. Because the contrast is soft and the movement is horizontal, it grounds open-plan spaces effectively without making the wall feel heavy.

Styling it

The fluid lines and earthy tones make this design an easy match for organic modern and contemporary interiors that lean on warmth and balanced proportions.

• Choose low, horizontal furniture such as a long credenza, low-back sofa, or platform bed to echo the wallpaper's landscape orientation.
• Bring in warm wood tones, such as natural oak or caramel-toned timber, which pick up the deeper watercolour washes across the centre band.
• Complement the wall with softly textured, unpatterned fabrics like washed cotton or bouclé in neutral shades to keep the focus on the tonal shifts in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on earthy caramel and rich brown, transitioning into soft blush pink and gentle off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, warm off-white and pale stone shades help extend the airy upper sections of the mural. If you prefer a more cohesive, tonal feel, pulling a warm caramel or muted terracotta into accent upholstery or painted architraves ties directly back to the deeper brushstrokes in the design.
