Wallpaper - By the Mountain

Our By the Mountain wallpaper, created by artist Silvia Vassileva, captures an expressive impressionistic landscape built from soft brushwork and layered tones. The upper half opens with a calm sky blending pale cloud grey and creamy off-white, while the lower horizon grounds the composition in earthy greens, deep browns, and subtle touches of warm ochre and orange. Its painterly oil-paint look brings depth and gentle movement to an interior without overwhelming the room. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an easy way to introduce artful character to your walls.

In the room

Because of the broad horizontal division between the airy sky and the rich landscape below, we particularly like this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full scope of the scenery can unfold. In a living room, it works naturally behind a low-profile sofa, allowing the lighter upper tones to keep the room feeling open while anchoring the seating area with earthy ground tones.

In a bedroom, our mural wallpapers create a quiet, grounding presence behind a headboard. We also see this working exceptionally well in a dining room, home office, or study, where the impressionistic brushstrokes add visual depth across an entire feature wall. Under soft daylight, the delicate shifts between the pale greys and earthy greens become particularly nuanced, while warm evening lighting highlights the amber and yellow undertones in the landscape.

Styling it

To complement the organic modern aesthetic of the artwork, we suggest pairing it with furniture that echoes its natural forms and unpretentious materials. Low-slung silhouettes in warm timber, such as natural oak or walnut, allow the horizontal line of the landscape to remain the focal point.

For textiles, simple natural weaves in unbleached linen, wool, or cotton sit comfortably alongside the painterly background without competing for attention. If you wish to incorporate accents, muted ceramics or matte dark metals provide a grounded contrast that reflects the deeper browns and greens anchored along the bottom of the design.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on pale cloud grey, warm white, earthy olive greens, forest browns, and subtle flecks of terracotta and golden yellow.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from these quieter shades. A soft, warm off-white or light stone grey on adjacent walls keeps the atmosphere light and unified. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich olive green or muted peat brown drawn from the base of the mural creates an enveloping feel on skirting boards, doors, or adjoining surfaces.
