Wallpaper - The Aermotor

In this design by Nathan Larson, our The Aermotor wallpaper mural captures the sculptural silhouette of a vintage Chicago wind pump set against an airy, bright backdrop. We love how the delicate lattice tower and radiating metal blades create fine, graphic lines, balanced by generous negative space that gives the entire composition an expansive, unhurried feel. The weathered metal tones bring subtle warmth to the high-key, pale sky. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our mural wallpapers bring architectural character to your interior while keeping the room bright and open.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working beautifully as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office where you want to introduce visual interest without closing in the space. Because the windmill structure rises along one side against an open sky, it naturally draws the eye upward, making it especially effective on walls with standard or higher ceilings. In a dining area or hallway, we would place this design where the fine metallic details can be seen up close without being obscured by high-backed furniture. The expansive background keeps even smaller rooms feeling light, making our wall murals an effortless way to define a space.

Styling it

The clean geometry and vintage industrial character of this wallpaper give you plenty of room to play with surrounding furniture and decor. We suggest pairing it with clean-lined furnishings, whether that means warm wood pieces, like light oak or ash, or understated modern silhouettes that echo the structural lines of the tower.

To maintain the calm, airy mood, keep large textiles and upholstery in relaxed neutrals such as soft linen, off-white, or muted stone. Matte black or brushed metal accents in light fixtures and hardware will pick up on the mechanical details of the wind pump, tying the room together in a subtle, cohesive way.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft silvered grey, pale weathered rust, and bright off-white. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend using warm chalky whites or pale neutral greys on adjacent walls to echo the open sky of the motif. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting accents through painted trim, shelving, or upholstery, muted charcoals, earthy rusts, or warm terracotta tones complement the aged steel beautifully without overpowering the design.
