Wallpaper - Desert Landscape I

Our Desert Landscape I wallpaper, created with artist Kristy Rice, brings an open horizon into the home through broad, expressive brushstrokes and a soft watercolour appearance. The composition layers undulating hills in warm coral, earthy orange, pink and muted beige, set against fresh green foreground strokes beneath a pale blue sky. What we particularly like is how the fluid transitions between the tones keep the landscape feeling gentle rather than rigid, giving the abstract scenery a calm, balanced presence on the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your dimensions, printed PVC-free, and produced on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif is composed as a continuous, wide horizon, we see this working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. Giving the design a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping layers of the hills to unfold naturally from one side to the other. In a living room, placing this behind a low-profile sofa lets the painted sky and upper mountain ridges remain visible, anchoring the seating area without overwhelming the space. In a quiet reading corner or meditation room, the soft transitions between the earthy base and airy sky create a peaceful visual backdrop that encourages a slower pace.

Styling it

To let the painterly texture of the landscape take centre stage, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural materials with understated character work particularly well here.

• Pair the warm coral and terracotta tones with mid-toned or pale woods, such as ash or light oak, which complement the earthy palette without competing with the brushwork.
• Choose low-backed furniture and unadorned silhouettes so the horizontal rhythm of the landscape remains unbroken across the wall.
• Introduce soft, unpatterned textiles in muted beige, stone or warm off-white on cushions and throws to balance the colourful mountain layers.

Colour combinations

The design itself centres on a palette of earthy coral, terracotta orange, soft pink and sandy beige, grounded by strokes of meadow green and topped by an airy sky blue. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, skirting or large furnishings, we recommend pulling directly from these softer supporting shades. A warm stone or creamy off-white on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling bright and open while framing the mural naturally. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper terracotta or muted olive green on woodwork, shelving or painted cabinetry creates a grounded connection to the lower half of the landscape.
