Wallpaper - Mesa View I

Our Mesa View I wallpaper mural, created with artist Kristy Rice, captures an expressive desert landscape through fluid watercolour washes and loose linework. Sun-drenched yellow plains in the foreground meet terracotta and warm ochre mesas, balanced by soft desert greens and contrasting washes of cobalt and indigo blue across the horizon and sky. The open, airy composition gives the artwork a serene and expansive character, with generous white space framing the painted scene. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and are completely PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see Mesa View I working especially well as a focal feature in a living room, where the wide horizon line and painterly desert plains can stretch across a main wall without interruption. Placing the design along a wider wall behind a sofa allows the full panoramic flow of the landscape to unfold naturally. In an open-plan living area or a holiday home lounge, the balance of warm sunlit tones and cool blue washes brings a peaceful, relaxed presence to the space. Because the upper part of the motif remains open and light, the mural helps preserve an airy, uncluttered feel even in rooms with standard ceiling heights.

Styling it

To complement the expressive, Southwestern-inspired character of this wall mural, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and materials that let the artwork take centre stage:

• Ground the space with warm, natural timber finishes such as mid-tone oak or teak, which echo the earthy ochre and terracotta hues of the desert hills.
• Introduce understated textiles in neutral, unbleached tones like off-white or sand, keeping seating and cushions relatively simple so the vibrant colours in the wallpaper remain the main visual focus.
• Add subtle accent pieces in matte black metal or warm terracotta pottery to reflect the graphic ink lines and sun-baked earth tones found in Kristy Rice's painting.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of sunshine yellow, terracotta, ochre, muted sage green, and deep indigo against a soft, bright background. For adjacent walls and surrounding surfaces, warm neutrals like soft sand, pale cream, or light biscuit provide a harmonious backdrop that allows the mural's vivid washes to stand out. If you prefer to draw on the cooler elements of the painting, a muted slate blue or dusty indigo on surrounding woodwork or an accent piece creates an elegant contrast with the glowing yellows of the foreground.
