Wallpaper - Montmartre Strolls

Our Montmartre Strolls wallpaper captures the quiet charm of a Parisian evening, created by Jan Becke in a rich oil paint style. The scene centres on the iconic Le Consulat café with its classic red and white awnings glowing against wet cobblestones, while the silhouette of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica rises gracefully into the deep twilight sky. Deep navy and dark blue tones anchor the composition, balanced by warm golden light radiating from street lamps and shopfronts as birds glide through the evening air. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings an inviting architectural perspective to the wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a living room, dining room, or a dedicated home study where its deep atmospheric palette can set the tone for the space. Because this is an expansive architectural scene with strong perspective lines leading up the hill towards the basilica, we would give it a wide, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or along a main dining wall allows the full street scene and the elevated silhouette of Sacré-Cœur to remain visible without being broken up by tall storage units. In a study or home office, the deep twilight blues lend a grounded, contemplative feel to the room, especially when balanced with focused table lighting that echoes the warm streetlamps in the artwork.

Styling it

To complement the painterly depth of the street scene, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively classic and grounded. Darker wood tones such as walnut or deep stained oak connect naturally with the architectural details in the motif, while upholstery in muted wool or matte velvet provides a quiet textural counterweight to the detailed cobblestones and buildings.

We would keep surrounding wall decor minimal on adjacent walls so the mural wallpapers remain the undisputed visual anchor of the room. Warm, low-temperature ambient lighting works wonders here, as floor lamps or shaded sconces enhance the golden glow painted into the café windows and streetlights without washing out the deep navy sky.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a foundation of deep navy, midnight blue, and charcoal shadows, lifted by warm amber glows, soft off-white stone tones, and small accents of vibrant red from the café awnings.

On adjacent walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling from the softer, neutral architectural tones within the print, such as a muted warm stone, chalky cream, or a deep slate grey if you prefer a richer, more enveloping room scheme. For soft furnishings and accent pieces, subtle notes of rust, burnt orange, or muted crimson draw out the charm of the café facade while maintaining a cohesive, balanced atmosphere throughout the space.
