Wallpaper - Badlands Black And White

Captured by photographer Nathan Larson, our Badlands Black And White wall mural brings the dramatic geology of the desert landscape into the home with quiet precision. What we particularly like about this design is the balance between the open, pale sky above and the intricate rock strata below, where deep charcoal shadows carve across smoke-grey ridges and soft hills. As a wide landscape composition, it gives a room an expansive sense of horizon while remaining grounded through its monochrome tones. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its continuous horizontal landscape format, we see this design working best on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full mountain formation has space to unfold. In a spacious living room, placing it behind a main sofa creates a striking focal point without overwhelming the rest of the interior. It also brings a thoughtful, contemplative atmosphere to a home library or reading room, where the photographic detail and moody contrasts can be appreciated up close. Because the upper third of the mural is open sky, it naturally leaves breathing room above eye level, preventing the darker rock formations from making a room feel enclosed.

Styling it

The sharp architectural quality of the eroded peaks pairs naturally with understated, modern furniture and warm southwestern influences. We like balancing the cool black, smoke, and grey tones of the photograph with warmer organic materials such as weathered wood, cognac leather, or textured woven accents. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low helps maintain an unobstructed view of the horizon line across the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is strictly monochromatic, moving from pale sky tones to mid-tone smoke grey and deep shadow black. In the rest of the room, we suggest working with warm neutral tones on adjacent walls, such as chalky off-whites or soft greys, to complement the print's monochrome balance. To bring warmth into the space, you can introduce earthy accent tones like terracotta, warm ochre, or saddle brown through upholstery and textiles.
