Wallpaper - Cryptid Tourism II

Our Cryptid Tourism II wallpaper, designed by Omar Escalante, captures the spirit of retro mid-century travel posters with a distinctive sci-fi twist. The composition features a crashed flying saucer half-buried in desert sand dunes under a dark, star-filled night sky. Glowing orange mountains rise in the distance beneath the setting sun, framed by desert cacti, shrubs, and graphic lettering reading "The best stargazing's at AREA 51" and "RACHEL, NEVADA". Printed to your custom dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings graphic energy and playful vintage charm to an accent wall.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper acts as a bold poster-style graphic with strong horizontal landscape layers, we find it works best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, home office, or study, giving the scene space allows the contrast between the dark upper sky and the glowing orange mountains to draw the eye naturally. In a teenage bedroom, den, or hobby room, placing it behind a desk or low bed keeps the central flying saucer motif visible and unobstructed by taller furniture.

Styling it

The mid-century graphic quality and 1950s poster aesthetic make this design easy to style alongside contemporary and retro-inspired interiors. We like pairing it with simple, clean-lined furniture that lets the illustrated artwork lead the room.

Warm wood finishes such as teak or medium oak echo the desert landscape, while matte black metal lighting or framing reinforces the graphic line work. To maintain visual balance, keep surrounding soft furnishings relatively plain, allowing the detailed landscape and typography to remain the focal point.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around earthy olive greens, desert browns, and glowing orange tones set against a deep night-sky backdrop. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, we recommend pulling out the muted olive green or choosing a warm sand tone. For a moodier, wraparound feel in a den or gaming space, a deep charcoal or dark slate on surrounding walls blends smoothly into the upper starry section of the scene.
