Wallpaper - Obsidian Tide

Our Obsidian Tide wallpaper mural, created by Maggie Sackmann, captures a quiet coastal landscape where a misty forest meets the water's edge. On the left, tall pine trees rise against a soft, diffused sky, while a gentle curve of rocky shoreline leads into calm waters breaking in subtle white foam. The composition balances deep charcoal greys, moody blues, and soft atmospheric tones, giving the scene an expressive, painterly character. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this design is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition carries distinct visual weight on the left with the forested shoreline opening outward toward the right, we particularly like this wall mural on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or bedroom, placing it behind a sofa or low headboard allows the panoramic depth of the water and sky to remain fully visible. The darker palette also makes it a striking choice for a quiet home office, study, or reading area, where the muted tones create a grounded, cocooning backdrop across an accent wall.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with clean-lined furniture in organic modern or Scandinavian spaces to keep the focus on the landscape's atmospheric mood.

Low-profile seating and unadorned surfaces work especially well, preventing the lower shoreline details from feeling crowded. Lighter natural woods or muted black accents echo the organic tones in the motif without competing with the painted textures, while tactile linen or wool upholstery adds warmth around the darker palette.

Colour combinations

The design centres on charcoal grey, muted misty blue, slate, and soft off-white breaking waves. To complement these tones, we suggest carrying soft stone, pale ash grey, or warm chalky whites onto surrounding painted walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, deeper charcoal or slate tones on adjacent trims will seamlessly frame the scenic view.
