Wallpaper - Old Trading Post

Our Old Trading Post wallpaper brings the historic interior of the Ganado, Arizona trading post into focus through a detailed photographic composition by Nathan Larson. Rendered in a warm sepia palette of earthy brown and taupe tones, the scene features authentic turn-of-the-century elements, including mounted animal heads, upright rifles, traditional Southwestern textiles with bold geometric motifs, and a period fabric sign reading "J.L. Hubbell Trading Post, Ganado, Arizona". The photograph captures a rich sense of historical depth with fine visual detail across the timber, textiles, and vintage artefacts. Printed to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that feels straightforward to hang.

In the room

For this photographic design, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall where the full breadth of the historic interior can be appreciated without visual clipping. In a living room or den, positioning this mural behind a sofa or along a main viewing wall gives the composition the space it needs to set the tone for the entire room. The sepia tones and architectural perspective also make it well suited to a dedicated study, home office, or lodge-style sitting area where the rich detail can be viewed up close. Because the image carries substantial visual narrative, we recommend giving it a prominent wall with minimal tall furniture obscuring the centre of the frame. Under warm evening lighting, the sepia and earthy taupe tones deepen, creating a cozy and inviting backdrop.

Styling it

To complement the Americana and Southwestern heritage of the photograph, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with understated, characterful furnishings that do not compete with the busy scene.

• Natural timber pieces in warm, medium to dark wood finishes balance the earthy tones of the print without distracting from the historic subject matter.
• Upholstered seating in muted leather, saddle tones, or plain woven neutral fabrics grounds the room while letting the detailed wall mural take centre stage.
• Keep decorative wall art and surrounding wall hangings minimal to avoid visual clutter alongside the intricate vintage artefacts depicted in the image.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Old Trading Post design is anchored in warm sepia tones, earthy browns, soft taupe, and weathered off-white highlights.

To create a cohesive interior, we recommend taking cues from these base neutrals for your adjacent surfaces. Warm taupe or muted sand on neighbouring painted walls creates a natural tonal continuation, softening the transition from the feature wall. For woodwork, skirting, and door frames, deep charcoal brown, warm umber, or an earthy off-white provides a grounded border that frames the sepia tones without harsh contrast.
