Wallpaper - Wanaka Sheep III

Our Wanaka Sheep III wallpaper mural, created by Laura Marshall, brings the striking depth of alpine photography onto the wall in rich monochrome. The composition captures sheep scattered along a grassy slope, set against a dramatic backdrop of rugged mountains, snow-dusted peaks, and an open, cloud-filled sky. What we particularly appreciate in this design is the balance between the curiosity of the animals in the mid-ground and the sweeping, quiet scale of the alpine landscape behind them. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure, it is designed to create an expansive, atmospheric focal point in the home.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the panoramic mountain range and sky have space to unfold naturally. In a living room or a dining area, positioning the mural behind a low sofa or a dining table ensures the sheep along the hillside remain in clear view without being obscured by taller storage furniture. The high-contrast black and white palette gives the room a defined visual anchor, working comfortably in bright rooms with ample natural daylight as well as under soft, warm evening lighting.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer to let the scenic photography take center stage by pairing it with clean-lined furniture and restrained decorative elements.

• Choose warm or natural wood furniture, such as oak or ash, to bring organic warmth alongside the cool monochrome tones of the landscape.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large textiles relatively plain and neutral, using textured weaves like wool or bouclé to add depth without introducing competing patterns.
• Incorporate matte black or dark metal hardware in lighting and table frames to subtly echo the deeper shadow tones in the mountain valleys.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper relies on a classic greyscale spectrum, ranging from crisp snowy whites and soft cloudy greys to deep charcoal and black in the mountain shadows. To complement these tones, we suggest keeping surrounding walls in soft off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone shades. If you want to introduce colour through accents or adjacent surfaces, earthy ochres, muted forest greens, or deep navy blue sit naturally against the alpine landscape without distracting from the photographic detail.
