Wallpaper - Reaching For The Moon

Our Reaching For The Moon wallpaper, captured by photographer Nathan Larson, pairs the intricate silhouette of desert flora with a full moon set against an ombre twilight sky. A gentle gradient shifts from soft pastel pink near the horizon to a muted lavender-blue above, creating an open, atmospheric backdrop. The fine, branch-like contours rise from the base to frame the glowing moon, establishing a distinctive vertical rhythm across the wall. Printed to order as a made-to-measure design, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the expansive sky.

In the room

We see this photographic mural working particularly well in a bedroom or a dedicated meditation space where the peaceful atmosphere of a desert dusk can set the tone. Because the composition features an open gradient across the upper half, with the silhouetted branches rising from the bottom, it naturally anchors lower furniture. Placing a bed with a low headboard or a simple seating area against the wall allows the plant silhouettes and the moon to remain fully visible. In a room with generous wall width, the expansive sky helps create an airy, uncrowded feeling on an accent wall.

Styling it

To complement the Southwestern landscape feel of this design, we would pair it with earthy, grounded textures that balance the delicate silhouette. Low-profile furniture in warm woods or painted neutral finishes keeps the lower half of the wall uncluttered. Soft, matte textiles in unbleached cotton or natural weaves help extend the tranquil mood without competing with the detailed branches. Keeping decorative accessories minimal allows the twilight gradient and the moon to serve as the main focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its smooth transition from warm pastel pink and dusty rose tones at the bottom to a muted dusk blue and lavender at the top, punctuated by the dark charcoal silhouette. To create a cohesive palette, we would bring in soft clay, warm beige, or dusty mauve for adjacent painted walls and larger textiles. For contrast, deep charcoal or slate accents can subtly echo the dark tones of the desert branches.
