Wallpaper - Reflections on the River

Our Reflections on the River wallpaper brings the quiet atmosphere of an open landscape into the home. Created by Carson Overstreet, this design features an impressionistic scenic view where a calm body of water reflects a soft blue sky and scattered cloud formations. Visible brushstroke textures and oil-paint-inspired marks give the motif an expressive, artistic character, grounded by deep green foliage and dark tree silhouettes along the horizon. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it makes a distinctive accent in rooms where a cool, serene visual depth is welcome.

In the room

Because of the broad horizon and open composition, we find this wall mural works particularly well on an uninterrupted wall in a living room, study, or bedroom. Placing the design along a wider main wall allows the full sweep of the water and sky reflections to unfold without feeling crowded by high cabinetry. In a home office or reading corner, positioning the wallpaper behind a desk or low armchair creates a balanced backdrop that draws the eye into the distance. The cool stone blue and deep green tones hold their depth nicely in rooms with generous natural daylight, while softer evening lamplight highlights the painterly contrast between the dark treeline and the lighter clouds.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping surrounding elements grounded to complement its traditional, painterly feel.

• Pair the cool stone blues and forest greens with warm, dark wood finishes such as walnut or stained oak, which balance the cooler tones in the scenery.
• Choose understated upholstered furniture in muted neutrals or woven wool textures that let the artwork remain the central visual focus of the space.
• Introduce classic decorative accents in aged brass or antique bronze to echo the heritage character of the landscape composition.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on stone blue, cloud white, and deep forest green, accented by darker silhouette tones along the treeline. For adjacent painted walls, skirtings, or built-in joinery, we recommend soft off-white shades or gentle muted greys that pick up the lighter parts of the sky without competing with the painted scene. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or library, a deep spruce green or muted slate blue drawn directly from the landscape creates a sophisticated, continuous tone throughout the room.
