Landscape wallpaper

Landscape wallpaper that turns a wall into a view

Landscape wallpaper brings a rolling valley, a misty forest or a wide mountain range right behind your sofa, giving a room instant depth and a horizon. At Selected Wallpapers we select these scenic designs from collections by Arte, Cole & Son, Iksel, Pierre Frey, Sandberg, Zoffany and Little Greene, among others. From painted cloudy skies and gentle hills to woodlands, watersides and panoramic distances, these are designs that give a space both direction and a place for the eye to rest.

Where landscape wallpaper looks its best

A landscape needs wall width to breathe. That is why landscape wallpaper works most powerfully on an uninterrupted wall: behind a bed, along the long side of a dining room, or on the wall your eye naturally finds as you walk in. In a hallway or on a landing, a distant view pulls you further into the home. In a smaller room, the perspective of a deep landscape makes the space feel larger, as long as you keep the other walls calm and plain.

The mood you choose shapes the effect. A dusky forest or a misty waterside makes a bedroom quieter and more enveloping, while a crisp mountain or coastal panorama makes a study or living room feel more open and alive. Because many of these designs are built as panoramas, they run across the wall as one continuous scene rather than as a repeating pattern.

Combining colours and materials with landscape wallpaper

Scenic designs often carry a whole colour family within them: moss green, slate grey, terracotta, sandy tones and a hint of sky blue. Pick up one colour from the landscape in your textiles or furniture and the whole room settles together. If you prefer a quieter backdrop, plain wallpaper or a refined textured wallpaper on the remaining walls forms a calm counterpoint that lets the scene speak.

In terms of finish, the range runs from smooth non-woven wallpaper to warm textile wallpaper and panoramic murals supplied made to measure, panel by panel. Non-woven hangs flat with barely visible seams, ideal for a finely painted distance; a textile finish adds subtle depth and softens sound in a living room or bedroom. Work out how much you need in a few steps with our wallpaper calculator, and for a panel-based landscape we check the layout with you so the drops line up in the right order.

Choosing a landscape that suits your interior

Start with the feeling you want in the room: if you are after calm, a restrained forest or waterside scene is a natural choice; if you want drama, a sweeping mountain or cloud panorama fits better. Then consider scale. A large scene needs a generous, clear wall to read fully, while a more finely painted landscape also works on a narrower stretch of wall. If you are unsure about the join or the number of drops, request a sample or have it hung by an experienced professional through our professional wallpaper hanger.

That way an ordinary wall becomes a window to the outside, all year round, whatever the weather. International shipping, duties & taxes included.
