Wallpaper - Quays of Stockholm

Our Quays of Stockholm wallpaper captures an elevated panoramic perspective over Riddarholmen and Gamla Stan, framing historic waterfront architecture against clear Nordic waterways. Rendered with photographic clarity, the composition balances rich terracotta, warm ochre, and soft apricot building facades with deep water tones, copper spires, and open sky. What we particularly appreciate is how the detailed waterfront buildings in the foreground draw the eye before giving way to distant spires and waterways. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure and is straightforward to hang.

In the room

In a living room or vacation home, we see this scenic mural working best across a broad, uninterrupted wall where the full panorama has space to unfold. Because the architectural detail is rich and expansive, giving the wallpaper a dedicated feature wall, such as behind a low-profile sofa or along an open dining area, lets the eye wander through the cityscape without tall furniture cutting through key buildings or spires. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the tonal contrasts between the sunny facades and deep waterfront blue become especially crisp and inviting.

Styling it

When styling around our Quays of Stockholm mural wallpapers, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded to let the detailed panoramic vista anchor the space.

• Choose low-slung seating and credenzas in light or mid-tone wood, which echo the warmth of the Nordic architecture without competing for visual height.
• Introduce understated upholstery in neutral tones like oat or soft grey to keep the wider living space airy and balanced alongside the intricate cityscape.
• Use clean, simple decorative accents in matte black metal or warm brass to complement the sharp architectural lines and historic spire details.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper brings together warm apricot, muted terracotta, and soft golden ochre in the historic facades, balanced by deep blue water, oxidised copper greens, and pale sky tones. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large textiles, we like using quiet warm off-whites or soft sand tones to pick up on the pale masonry. For adjacent surfaces or statement upholstery, a muted slate blue or deep marine shade creates a cohesive dialogue with the waterways depicted across the design.
