Wallpaper - Catching Air

Our Catching Air wallpaper captures a dynamic moment of winter sports photography created by Max Blakesberg Studios. The photographic motif suspends a snowboarder high mid-jump, positioned against an overcast sky with distant, snowy mountain peaks and soft tree lines below. With its clean palette of crisp winter snow, cool alpine blues, black, and warm tan accents, this design brings an adventurous, modern focus to an accent wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition places the dramatic airborne figure in the upper half above softer mountain scenery, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, teenage room, or hobby room, giving the wallpaper generous horizontal space allows the open sky and sweeping landscape to establish a spacious, airy atmosphere. Positioning lower furniture like a desk, bed frame, or low sofa beneath the main focal point ensures the snowboarder remains clearly visible and retains its sense of motion.

Styling it

To balance the athletic energy of the photograph, we suggest styling the surrounding interior with clean, contemporary lines and uncluttered forms. Low-profile furniture in neutral finishes allows the bold subject matter to stand out naturally without competing for visual attention. Subtle industrial or modern accents, such as matte black metal framing or graphite fixtures, echo the dark tones of the snowboard and helmet, tying the room together in a cohesive, grounded way.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a cool base of snowy whites, pale misty greys, and muted mountain blues, contrasted by sharp black details and warm tan snow pants. For adjacent painted walls, crisp off-whites, cool slate greys, or muted sky tones create a seamless backdrop that extends the winter landscape. If you want to introduce subtle warmth into the space, soft oatmeal textiles or light neutral timber tones complement the tan accents in the rider's clothing without overwhelming the cool alpine atmosphere.
