Ottawa River Drift & Marina Glow
Waterlight for calm, open rooms
Morning haze along the Pembroke boardwalk, silver water beside the marina, and sunset ripples across the Ottawa River—translate that gentle motion to your walls. Choose mist-to-sky ombrés that visually widen smaller living rooms, fine ripple textures that move softly in daylight, and polished-pebble prints that ground a space without darkening it. A panoramic “waterline” panel behind a sofa or bed creates an instant focal point that feels like a window to the river. Keep the palette lake-quiet—sea-glass, slate, cloud—then warm it with light oak, woven shades, and brushed brass so the finish reads airy, present, and unmistakably Ottawa Valley.

Street Murals & Heritage Brick
Downtown character, refined indoors
Pembroke’s outdoor murals and brick storefronts are a ready-made pattern playbook. Use one expressive wall and keep neighbours softly textural for balance.
- to warm entries and stair runs without the weight of real masonry
- echoing mural brushstrokes—scaled for dining rooms and studios
- (dove, oatmeal, limestone) that make art and shelving feel intentional
- with a candlelit gleam above a chair rail in formal spaces
Blend portico cream, river slate, and heather hues to bridge vintage trim with modern furniture—heritage soul, contemporary poise.

Algonquin Trail, Pines & Rapids
Nature patterns that breathe
From the Algonquin Trail to cedar shade along the river, Pembroke’s green edges invite slower breathing. Build restorative rooms with:
- layered in sage, lichen, and charcoal for bedrooms
- bringing vertical calm to ensuites and reading corners
- echoing trail contours—graphic yet soothing in offices
- (tiny blooms, seed heads) that read as airy texture in nurseries
Pair with breathable fabrics, pale woods, and muted metals so pattern lands as atmosphere first and artwork second—a long, easy exhale through every season.

Waterfront Campus Modern
Clean geometry for studios and open plans
The light, glass, and smart lines around Algonquin College’s waterfront campus translate beautifully at home. Think structure over spectacle: slim transit-grid repeats to organize long corridors; facet and prism wallpapers that bend light softly on media walls; slat-shadow trompe-l’œil for the wood-screen look without millwork; and chalk-plaster neutrals (dove, oatmeal, limestone) that stitch kitchen, dining, and living zones together. Use one sculptural mural as the hero and keep adjacent walls quietly textural—your space will feel focused, contemporary, and easy to live with from historic semis to new river-view builds.
