Wallpaper - Desertscape

Created by Kristy Rice, our Desertscape wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly landscape to the wall. The composition captures rolling terrain and distant mountain ridges in rich carmine red, soft pink, earthy ochre, and muted purple, balanced by fresh washes of green and a luminous blue sky. Broad, sweeping watercolor-like strokes in the foreground transition into layered ridges, while delicate linework lends visual definition to the mountain peaks. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design gives residential spaces an airy, artistic horizon.

In the room

We love how this landscape mural wallpaper creates an immediate sense of open space and depth on a main feature wall. In a living room, placing Desertscape behind a low sofa allows the mountain ridges and panoramic sky to command the upper half of the room without feeling crowded. The fluid, horizontal flow of the landscape also makes it an inspiring backdrop for a home art studio or creative study, where the organic brushwork brings visual energy without visual clutter. Because the artwork relies on open washes and a balanced vertical composition, it works comfortably on wide, uninterrupted walls where the full painterly horizon can unfold naturally.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushstrokes and watercolor character of our wallpaper take center stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Low-profile seating and low shelving ensure the painted mountain ridges remain visible across the room.

Pairing this design with warm natural wood tones, such as ash, white oak, or light birch, complements the sandy beige and peach brushwork in the foreground. For soft furnishings, smooth neutral textiles in cream, unbleached cotton, or soft off-white keep the overall atmosphere light and balanced, letting the rich carmine and sky blue tones provide the main focal points.

Colour combinations

The palette within Desertscape centers on vibrant carmine red, dusty rose, and deep plum across the mountain silhouettes, grounded by sandy beige, soft peach, and sage green brushwork below a serene cobalt and sky blue wash.

When selecting paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend drawing from the lighter tones in the foreground. A soft, warm off-white or sandy cream on surrounding walls provides a seamless transition that enhances the design's brightness. For a bolder accent in textiles or decorative pottery, deep carmine, terracotta, or muted denim blue harmonise directly with the key pigments in the mountain ridges.
