Wallpaper - Cathedral Gorge

Our Cathedral Gorge wallpaper brings the dramatic scale of desert canyon scenery into your space, captured through photography by Jim Wiebe. Towering rock formations in warm orange and burnt orange tones rise beneath a crisp blue sky with soft white clouds, showing deep vertical grooves and carved ridges shaped over time. The striking contrast between the sunlit cliffs, shadowed crevices, and open sky gives the panoramic landscape an adventurous, earthy character. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and easy to fit to your exact wall dimensions.

In the room

Because Cathedral Gorge is a wide photographic landscape with strong vertical rock formations, we see it working particularly well as an expansive feature wall in a living room or holiday home. Giving the design an uninterrupted horizontal run allows the full span of the desert vista and sky to unfold naturally across the space. In an open living area, positioning the mural behind a low-profile sofa or along the main focal wall anchors the room without cutting off the dramatic geological detail carved into the canyon base.

Styling it

To let the geological drama of our wall murals take centre stage, we would balance this design with clean-lined furnishings and grounded, earthy textures:

• Pair the warm burnt orange cliffs with low-slung furniture in understated, natural materials like matte dark wood or woven accents, keeping sightlines clear across the panoramic horizon.
• Echo the Southwestern and desert aesthetic with textured clay, terracotta pottery, or matte black metal accents that ground the bright blue and orange contrast of the scenery.
• Keep surrounding upholstery in calm, neutral oatmeal or sand tones, allowing the bold rock formations to supply the visual warmth and colour depth for the entire room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich burnt orange, warm sandstone, and deep earthy brown tones across the rock face, sharply framed by vivid sky blue and bright cloud white. To create a cohesive scheme around the wallpaper, we suggest taking cues from these natural desert shades. Soft sandy neutrals, warm off-white, or muted clay on adjacent walls and woodwork will blend naturally with the cliff base, while deeper slate blue or muted navy accents elsewhere in the room will subtly pick up the clear desert sky above.
