Wallpaper - Kolob Canyons

Captured by photographer Laura Marshall, our Kolob Canyons wall mural showcases the rugged sandstone peaks and dramatic cliffs of a vast desert mountain range. The photographic composition balances the warm rust, terracotta, and earthy orange tones of the sunlit rock faces against a pale, clear blue sky above and scattered green vegetation across the lower ridges. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings expansive panoramic depth and natural warmth to any room.

In the room

Because of its sweeping horizontal panoramic scale and rich natural detail, we see this photographic landscape working best on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing the mural behind a low-profile sofa allows the towering canyon peaks and open sky to remain fully visible, opening up the room without feeling enclosed. The strong horizon line and vertical canyon formations give the wall a grounded, architectural presence.

For a meditation space or quiet sitting area, the combination of warm earthy sandstone and open sky creates a tranquil, grounding backdrop. We recommend keeping larger furniture pieces relatively low along the wall so the intricate ridges, cliff textures, and natural daylight gradations across the rock surfaces can be fully appreciated.

Styling it

To complement the rich desert landscape, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with low-profile, clean-lined furniture that does not compete with the vertical canyon lines. Natural wood finishes, such as warm oak or walnut, pick up the organic character of the scene nicely, while minimalist upholstery in textured weaves adds warmth without cluttering the visual field.

A Southwestern-inspired interior or contemporary rustic scheme works especially well here. Keep surrounding decorative elements intentional and grounded: matte terracotta ceramics, woven jute or wool textiles, and quiet blackened metal accents echo the natural geology without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of the design is built around earthy orange, terracotta, and warm rust tones in the rock formations, set against the crisp, pale blue of the open sky and deep forest greens in the sparse foliage.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and trim, warm off-whites, sandy beiges, or soft desert taupes create a seamless, cohesive transition. For a bolder, complementary accent, pulling out a muted sky blue or deep slate on adjacent woodwork or soft furnishings creates a fresh contrast that highlights the warmth of the canyons.
