Wallpaper - Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas

Sanctuary Marsh on Canvas captures an open rural landscape with sweeping painted brushwork, pairing a serene sky-blue expanse with earthy green meadows and gentle distant hills. Designed by Sue Schlabach, this scenic wallpaper mural features visible oil-paint-inspired textures and a winding stream reflecting the soft light of drifting clouds. The balanced horizon and layered tones give the motif an inviting visual depth that opens up interior spaces. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, it brings an expressive scenic presence to residential walls.

In the room

For us, this landscape design works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, where the expansive horizon and reflective water have the space to stretch naturally across the room. Because the composition balances open sky in the upper half with richer green ground below, it sits comfortably behind lower seating such as a sofa or low credenza without losing the visual rhythm of the distant hills. In a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting space, the soft blue and earthy palette creates a peaceful backdrop that feels grounded rather than overwhelming.

Styling it

When styling around our scenic wall murals, we like to echo the painterly landscape character with understated furniture shapes that let the mural wallpapers remain the focal point.

• Choose warm wood tones, such as mellow oak or walnut, to complement the earthy greens in the meadow while adding natural warmth to the space.
• Opt for simple upholstery in textured neutrals like warm stone or woven linen, allowing the painted scenery to provide the primary visual pattern.
• Introduce subtle ceramic or matte accents in soft cream or muted sky tones to connect the room together without competing with the brushwork.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around clear sky blue, soft cloud white, muted horizon tones, and rich earthy greens. To build a cohesive palette across surrounding surfaces, we suggest pairing adjacent painted walls with warm off-white or light stone, which keeps the room light while letting the sky in the mural feel crisp and open. For trim, cabinetry, or larger accent pieces, deeper moss greens or muted slate blues pick up the lower brushstrokes of the meadow and water, anchoring the entire interior.
