Wallpaper - Empty Quarter

Captured by photographer Jan Becke, our Empty Quarter wallpaper showcases the sweeping expanses of rolling desert sand dunes stretching toward a hazy horizon. Soft ripples, curved ridges, and gentle shadows sculpt the golden sand tones, while small green shrubs dot the vast terrain to create a quiet, natural rhythm. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this photographic design brings an open sense of scale and warm, earthy character to your interior.

In the room

With its sweeping panoramic perspective, this desert landscape works particularly well on wider, uninterrupted walls where the gentle curves of the dunes have space to unfold across the room. We see this design performing beautifully as a feature wall in a living room behind a low sofa, or in a dedicated meditation room where its soft sand tones and tranquil visual depth create an expansive atmosphere. The horizontal movement helps open up compact spaces without overwhelming them, while the fine wind-carved ripples in the foreground reward closer viewing in open-plan living areas.

Styling it

To complement the warm, sunlit atmosphere of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean, low-profile furniture that keeps the horizon line open and prominent. Natural materials such as light oak or warm-toned woods balance the earthy yellow base, while unbleached textiles in linen or textured wool continue the organic, tactile feel of the landscape. Incorporating potted indoor greenery or minimalist ceramic pieces can pick up on the subtle shrub details scattered across the dunes, grounding the room in a calm, contemporary aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in warm sand, soft ochre, and pale earthy yellow tones, with subtle hints of dusty green and hazy pale sky. To build a balanced palette around the design, we recommend warm off-white or soft biscuit shades on adjoining walls and architectural woodwork. Deeper terracotta, muted olive green, or warm taupe accents through furniture and textiles echo the natural desert landscape without competing with the mural's visual warmth.
