Wallpaper - Captive

Our Captive wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes brings an expressive, painterly landscape to the wall. Rich layers of cornflower blue, purple, and cool white suggest snow-capped mountain forms mirrored in calm water, while earthy touches of brown and beige ground the foreground. The composition balances open sky and water with visible, textured brushwork, giving the scene an impressionistic, contemporary presence. Printed to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that complements the painterly character of the artwork.

In the room

We love seeing our wall murals used as the focal point of a room, and Captive is especially suited to spaces where you want a tranquil, atmospheric feel. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa gives the broad horizon and mountain peaks space to unfold across the wall. The cool palette also makes it a wonderful backdrop in a bedroom, sitting naturally behind a bedhead to create a quiet, grounding environment. In a home office or dining room, the balance of deep blues and lighter reflective tones adds depth without making the room feel enclosed. Because the composition relies on open, sweeping areas of water and sky, it works particularly well on larger, uninterrupted walls where the full scale of the landscape can be appreciated.

Styling it

The cool blue tones and organic brushwork pair naturally with an organic modern interior aesthetic. We recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form so the wall carries the decorative weight of the room. Warm wood finishes like light oak or walnut create a pleasing contrast against the cool cornflower blues, bringing warmth to the overall space. When choosing upholstery and larger fabrics, consider neutral, textured weaves in cream, oatmeal, or soft grey to echo the beige and white elements within the painted landscape.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by cornflower blue, deep violet-toned blues, and crisp whites, anchored by accents of beige and earthy brown in the foreground grasses. For adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, pale stone, or gentle cool greys allow the mural to stand out while keeping the room bright and cohesive. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the deeper navy or slate tones for woodwork or built-in cabinetry provides a striking, tailored look.
