Wallpaper - Heritage Street

Our Heritage Street wallpaper brings the rich character of historic architecture directly into the room. Captured by photographer Jan Becke, the photographic motif features a detailed row of traditional brick townhouses with distinctive steep gabled roofs, warm red and brown brickwork, crisp white window trims, and an aged green copper roof. Small balconies with flowers add delicate touches of colour, set beneath a clear blue sky that brings an open, airy perspective to the scene. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the architectural perspective and vertical lines of the gabled facades, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, dining room, or dedicated home study. The realistic depth created by the street scene adds visual dimension to compact spaces like a study or reading library, while in a larger living area or open dining space, giving the design full horizontal width allows the complete row of historic facades to unfold naturally. We also like this design along a hallway or staircase wall, where the rhythm of the buildings accompanies the natural movement through the home.

Styling it

The detailed brickwork and structured architectural elements give the wall plenty of presence, so we prefer to balance it with considered, grounding interior choices.

• Pair with warm, natural wood furniture such as walnut, warm oak, or stained timber, which echoes the rich earthy tones in the brick facades without competing with the finer details.
• Introduce upholstered seating or curtains in simple, solid weaves rather than competing patterns, letting the detailed street scene remain the clear visual anchor of the room.
• Incorporate subtle aged brass or blackened metal accents in lighting or hardware to complement the historic period feel of the building details.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centres on deep terracotta and brick reds, warm earthy browns, and the weathered patina of copper green, all balanced by the bright blue sky and clean white window mouldings. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, creamy stone neutrals, or soft biscuit tones keep the surrounding room bright while harmonising with the building masonry. For a moodier, more tailored atmosphere in a study or library, drawing out the muted copper green or a deep brick tone for adjacent shelving, trim, or cabinetry creates an immersive, cohesive scheme.
