Wallpaper - Urban Trestle

Our Urban Trestle wallpaper, created by Mark Segal, captures the architectural rhythm and industrial character of an elevated rail structure above a city street. Strong rust-coloured beams frame the upper composition, casting geometric shadows across the pavement below where parked cars and brick storefronts line the road. The photographic perspective draws the eye down the street, balancing warm burnt orange and earthy tones with the cool architectural structure. Like all our wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the strong one-point perspective and deep architectural lines, we see this working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room. Placing the design on a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the receding street scene and overhead metalwork to establish a clear sense of visual depth.

The warmth of the burnt orange ironwork helps soften the industrial nature of the photograph, making it comfortable in a room meant for everyday gathering. We suggest keeping tall, bulky furniture away from the centre of the wall so the vanishing point of the street remains visible from across the room.

Styling it

The industrial character and rich palette give you a clear direction for surrounding furniture and decor.

• Balance the strong geometric metalwork with softer upholstery and clean-lined contemporary sofas in neutral charcoal, warm grey, or deep ochre.
• Introduce understated black metal details or warm, aged woods like walnut to reflect the textures found within the streetscape.
• Keep surrounding decor relatively uncluttered, letting the perspective of the wall murals act as the primary visual focus in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around rich burnt orange, warm terracotta brick tones, deep rust, and grounded slate greys.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and trim, we recommend picking up on the softer neutral tones from the pavement and buildings, such as pale concrete grey or muted warm off-whites. If you prefer a bolder, moodier room, deeper charcoal tones on surrounding walls will frame the warm orange steelwork and intensify the architectural perspective.
