Wallpaper - Dusty Rider II

Our Dusty Rider II wallpaper, created by Nikita Jariwala, brings a stylised desert narrative into the room with graphic warmth. The composition features a rider in a wide-brimmed hat alongside a horse in the foreground, set against a backdrop of distant hills, rolling terrain and tall green cacti. Rendered in a bold, gouache-inspired cut-out style with visible tonal layering and crisp outlines, the artwork balances earthy terracotta, warm sand, soft olive green and deep chocolate brown. Made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design makes an expressive statement across a main feature wall.

In the room

Because of the strong figurative presence and large-scale focal points, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or a relaxed study. Positioning the design on a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full silhouette of the rider, horse and desert horizon to breathe without being cut off by high cabinetry or heavy tallboards.

In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the warm contrast between the earthy pink-terracotta tones and the sage-and-olive landscape elements feels vibrant and grounded. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design on the wall behind a lower bedstead lets the expressive upper landscape and hat silhouette frame the room naturally.

Styling it

We would pair this mural wallpaper with simple, relaxed furnishings that let the illustrative character lead the interior. Low-profile furniture in warm woods or muted painted finishes complements the relaxed desert mood without competing with the bold graphic contours.

To echo the visual character of the scene, consider introducing tactile woven upholstery, simple linen cushions, or earthenware pottery in muted terracotta and unglazed clay. Keeping surrounding patterns minimal allows the strong shapes and contours of the artwork to hold the visual focus in the space.

Colour combinations

The design draws on a palette of desert hues, anchored by warm terracotta, sand, beige, chocolate brown and muted olive green, with subtle sky blue and off-white accents.

For adjacent walls and skirting, soft sandy neutrals, warm off-whites, or gentle warm greys create a seamless, harmonious transition. If you want a deeper, more enveloping feel around the room, picking up on the rich brown tones or a dusty sage green from the cacti creates a striking, balanced backdrop for surrounding furniture and textiles.
