Wallpaper - High Desert II

Painted by Julia Purinton, our High Desert II wallpaper brings a serene desert panorama to life with a painterly, oil-inspired finish. Distinctive sage green cactus pads rise in the foreground, anchoring the composition against a sweeping expanse of soft ochre, warm peach, and muted rose hills. Distant mountain ridges recede gently into a pale, hazy blue sky, giving the motif a dreamy depth and a tranquil horizon. Produced to your exact wall measurements, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure that complements the painted brushwork without overpowering the room.

In the room

We find that this landscape mural works exceptionally well as a feature wall in a living room, where the horizontal vista opens up the visual space. Because the foreground cacti sit low and the mountain ridges extend wide across the upper half of the composition, placing this design behind a low-profile sofa or along an uninterrupted accent wall allows the peaceful scenery to unfold naturally. In spaces with good daytime light, the delicate shifts between the earthy yellows, soft pinks, and sage greens become especially luminous, creating a calm backdrop for everyday living.

Styling it

The Southwestern warmth and painterly quality of this design invite natural, tactile surroundings. We suggest pairing it with simple, mid-toned or pale timber furniture to echo the warm desert tones without competing with the landscape. Upholstery in unbleached neutral fabrics, terracotta pottery, or woven jute accents harmonize easily with the sage and sand hues, keeping the overall atmosphere relaxed and grounded.

Colour combinations

Our mural draws on an earthy palette of sage green, dusty ochre, soft pink, and pale sky blue. To frame the scene, we like using warm off-white or soft biscuit tones on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to draw out the natural foliage in the motif, muted olive and sage accents on cushions, throws, or painted cabinetry will echo the foreground cacti beautifully.
