Wallpaper - Rise to the Occasion

Our Rise to the Occasion wallpaper features towering rock formations rising sharply against a bright blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. Captured by photographer Jim Wiebe, the composition highlights the rugged textures and geological layers of ancient desert towers in warm shades of burnt orange and earthy brown. In the foreground, sandy ground with sparse vegetation anchors the scene, while deep natural shadows give the stone dramatic visual depth. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, our PVC-free wallpaper has a subtle physical structure in the paper and brings an expansive natural landscape straight into your home.

In the room

Because of the sweeping scale and vertical reach of the rock spires, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room. Giving the design a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the warm desert sandstone and the open sky to remain fully visible. It also suits a holiday home or a dedicated living area where you want an open, expansive outlook across the room.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding interior grounded and let the strong natural landscape set the tone.

• Pair the warm burnt orange tones with dark or weathered wood furniture to complement the rustic desert character.
• Choose low-profile seating positioned below the horizon line of the design, ensuring the majestic rock peaks remain unobstructed.
• Incorporate simple earthenware or stone accents to echo the geological character without cluttering the visual space.

Colour combinations

The design itself is defined by rich burnt orange, warm sandstone browns, earthy ochre tones, and a clear expanse of vivid sky blue.

To create a balanced scheme around it, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with soft warm off-whites, sandy beiges, or gentle terracotta tones drawn from the lower rock strata. If you prefer a cooler contrast, a muted slate blue or dusty stone grey on surrounding woodwork creates a crisp frame that highlights the blue sky overhead.
