Wallpaper - Waking Up in Paris

Our Waking Up in Paris wallpaper mural by Jan Becke captures a tranquil Parisian street at dusk, where the iconic silhouette of the Eiffel Tower rises above classic red brick facades with white window frames and black wrought-iron balconies. Warm street lamps glow quietly along the roadside beneath a soft sky blue gradient, creating a nostalgic sense of depth and European charm. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while bringing a timeless architectural scene into your home.

In the room

In a living room or bedroom, we would place this mural wallpaper across a wide, main wall where the full street perspective and the height of the Eiffel Tower have plenty of space to open up. The vertical lines of the classic architecture and the upward sweep of the tower work especially well on an uninterrupted surface, such as behind a sofa or behind a bed with a lower headboard. Because the perspective leads the eye naturally down the avenue, the design also brings a welcoming depth to a dining room wall, creating an engaging visual backdrop around a dining table.

Styling it

We suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded to let the detailed Parisian architecture take centre stage. Clean, contemporary seating or classic silhouettes in charcoal, soft grey, or deep navy balance the dark ironwork and parked cars in the lower half of the scene. To complement the architectural character without crowding the wall, pair the mural with quiet matte black accents or simple warm metallic details that echo the glowing street lanterns.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design balances warm, earthy red brick and glowing amber lantern light against a cool sky blue gradient and deep charcoal details. On adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend soft off-whites, warm stone tones, or muted slate blues that pick up on the gentle evening sky. If you want to lean into the warmth of the buildings, accents in terracotta or rich rust tones connect naturally with the classic brickwork.
