Wallpaper - Getting Cold

Our Getting Cold wallpaper captures the quiet transition from dusk to night across a desert landscape, created by Nathan Larson. Deep silhouettes of saguaro cacti rise against an expansive twilight sky that shifts from soft sunset orange along the horizon into layered lilacs, deep purples, and midnight blues, anchored by a crescent moon in the upper corner. The open horizontal composition creates a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth on the wall, making this photographic mural an expressive focal point. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or meditation space. Because the artwork relies on a clean contrast between the bold foreground silhouettes and the broad gradient of the sky, giving the mural wallpaper enough horizontal room lets the full sweep of the horizon breathe. In a living room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa preserves the vertical reach of the tallest cactus stems and keeps the crescent moon clearly visible above the seating area.

Styling it

The strong silhouette motif and rich evening gradient pair naturally with simple, low-profile furniture that does not compete with the horizon line. We would combine this wallpaper with earthy, tactile surfaces and warm wooden pieces that echo the desert aesthetic without feeling overly styled. Keeping surrounding elements grounded in matte textures and understated shapes allows the artwork's quiet, cinematic quality to lead the space.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by deep purple, lilac, and dusk orange resting against solid dark silhouettes. To build around these tones, we recommend drawing from the softer sunset hues for adjacent painted walls, such as muted terracotta, dusty peach, or warm plaster neutrals. For a moodier, more enveloping feel, pulling out the darker slate purples or charcoal tones on adjacent woodwork creates a cohesive, contemplative interior.
