Wallpaper - In the Distance

In our abstract wallpaper In the Distance, artist Haley Knighten brings together broad, layered brushstrokes with the visual character of oil paint. Deep forest greens and navy blues blend into softer mint and sky tones, balanced against crisp white areas. Overlapping rectangular and organic forms create a quiet sense of rhythm and depth across the composition, giving the design an expressive, contemporary feel. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are designed to be straightforward to hang in any modern interior.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, where the generous scale of the brushwork has space to unfold without feeling crowded. Because the pattern relies on large, sweeping painterly forms rather than a tight, repetitive motif, it benefits from a broader wall behind a sofa or along a dining space. In a bedroom or a dedicated home office, placing the wallpaper on the primary wall creates an artistic backdrop while maintaining a balanced, restful atmosphere. The interplay between deep navy and soft mint responds beautifully to changing natural light throughout the day, revealing subtle tonal transitions in bright daylight and taking on a moodier, richer presence in softer evening lamp light.

Styling it

To let the abstract composition lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded with clean, architectural lines. Low-profile seating in neutral upholstery, such as oatmeal or charcoal grey, allows the sweeping brushstrokes to remain the focal point. For case goods and shelving, mid-toned or darker wood finishes echo the earthy green and deep blue tones without competing with the artwork.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a palette of forest green, deep navy, mint, sky blue, and white. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, a soft off-white or chalky grey creates a natural frame that lets the deeper tones stand out. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, colour-drenching neighbouring walls or built-in cabinetry in a complementary deep navy or muted olive green creates a striking, cohesive dialogue with the darker sections of the mural.
