Wallpaper - Hoodoo Formations

Captured by photographer Morey K Milbradt, our Hoodoo Formations wallpaper brings the dramatic sweep of undulating desert sandstone into the home. Sweeping striations of saffron, warm ochre, and sun-baked orange rise dynamically against an open blue sky with soft, scattered clouds. The sheer scale and organic geometry of the sandstone ridges give the landscape a striking visual presence, turning any feature wall into a bold focal point. Like all our wall murals, this design is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We especially like this design on a generous, uninterrupted wall in a main living room, where the expansive diagonals and geological layers have room to unfold without being cut short. Because the formation rises diagonally across the composition, positioning it behind a low sofa or along a main feature wall lets the sweeping lines guide the eye upwards, enhancing the feeling of height in the space. In a holiday home or open-plan living area, it anchors the seating zone with warmth and natural character.

Styling it

The rich, warm movement of the rock strata naturally invites clean-lined furniture that lets the landscape remain the centre of attention. We recommend pairing the mural with low-profile pieces in warm wood tones, such as oiled oak or light walnut, which complement the natural geology without competing with its bold diagonals. For seating and upholstery, simple woven textures in neutral ecru, sand, or deep terracotta create a cohesive, grounded look.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on rich saffron, golden ochre, and warm desert orange, contrasted by clear sky blue and pale cloud whites. On adjacent walls and surrounding trim, soft sandy beige, warm off-white, or muted clay create a calm frame that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in dark iron brown or slate blue pull out the darker shadows in the rock crevices and the open sky above.
