Wallpaper - Lighten Up

Captured by photographer Nathan Larson, our Lighten Up wallpaper presents a dramatic monochrome landscape anchored by a towering cumulus cloud. Below, a dense field of tall corn stalks reaches upward, meeting a dark tree line on the horizon that adds striking depth and separation. The rich gradation of greys, crisp whites, and deep charcoal tones creates an open, atmospheric perspective across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring fine photographic detail and an expansive sense of scale into contemporary homes.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or dedicated home office. Because the lower third of the composition contains dense, textured foliage while the upper area opens into a vast sky, the visual weight naturally grounds the room while drawing the eye upward. In rooms with standard or lower ceiling heights, the soaring vertical structure of the cloud helps create a feeling of vertical openness. For dining rooms or hallway staircases, positioning this wallpaper where it can be viewed from a slight distance allows the full photographic depth of the horizon to unfold.

Styling it

To complement the strong monochrome values of the photograph, we suggest pairing this design with clean-lined furniture and warm, grounding materials. Low-profile seating or a simple wooden bed frame keeps the intricate cornfield detail visible while letting the cloud command attention.

• Introduce warm natural timber such as white oak, ash, or walnut to balance the cool greys of the monochrome print.
• Choose textural woven upholstery, such as wool or bouclé in off-white or charcoal, to mirror the soft, sculptural contours of the cloud.
• Incorporate subtle matte black architectural elements or light fixtures that echo the deep tones along the horizon line.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is composed entirely of neutral greys, soft whites, and deep graphite tones. When planning your surrounding palette, crisp chalky whites, pale dove greys, and warm stone shades on adjacent walls maintain an airy, cohesive environment. For a bolder, more grounded interior, deep charcoal, muted olive, or rich slate blue on adjacent trim and cabinetry will pull out the darkest values in the tree line and foliage.
