Wallpaper - Split the Earth

Our Split the Earth wallpaper, created by Nathan Larson, captures a stark, atmospheric landscape defined by a dramatic black sky and a single pale path cutting through open grassland toward a distant horizon. What makes this design so striking is its minimalist composition and powerful tonal contrast, where the deep expanse of dark sky gives the wall an incredible sense of scale and visual depth. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring an understated yet commanding presence to any interior.

In the room

Because the composition features a high, expansive sky above a lower ground line, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, bedroom, or quiet study. Placing it behind a low-profile sofa or bed frame keeps the central path and horizon visible, allowing the deep tones of the upper section to anchor the room. The horizontal divide draws the eye across the space, making it a compelling focal point in rooms where you want to introduce depth without filling the wall with busy pattern.

Styling it

To complement the strong monochrome nature of our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and tactile textures that balance the stark visual contrast:

• Choose low-profile furniture in rich dark walnut, warm smoked oak, or matte black to echo the grounded tones of the landscape without obstructing the horizon line.
• Introduce softer textiles in off-white, oatmeal, or charcoal wool to add warmth and physical comfort against the dramatic dark backdrop.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the open perspective of the mural to remain the clear architectural anchor of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is composed entirely of monochrome shades, moving from deep pitch blacks through subtle charcoal gradients to muted greys and bright chalky whites along the pathway. For surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend pairing this design with off-whites, warm greystone, or deep charcoal tones that seamlessly tie into the palette of the sky. Muted earthy accents, such as olive green, burnt amber, or warm taupe in surrounding decor, also sit naturally alongside the monochrome landscape.
