Wallpaper - Going it Alone I

Our Going it Alone I wallpaper mural, created by Nathan Larson, captures a solitary cow standing among arid desert brush against a vast backdrop of softly contoured mountains and open sky. What we particularly appreciate in this photograph is the expansive sense of depth, balanced by the muted, sun-bleached palette of dusty beige, warm sand, soft mauve, and muted earthy tones. The wide landscape composition brings an open, cinematic character to the wall without overwhelming the room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure according to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this photographic landscape working especially well on an expansive, uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining area, or open-plan space where the panoramic scenery can fully unfold. The low horizon line and open pale sky above keep the upper portion of the wall light and airy, which prevents the space from feeling enclosed. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed creates a calm, grounding focal point, as the cow and desert scrub provide subtle detail at eye level while the soft mountain contours fade gently into the distance.

Styling it

Because this design has a distinct photographic depth and a restrained, sun-warmed tone, we recommend pairing it with grounded, understated furnishings. Clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture in warm woods such as walnut, teak, or natural oak echoes the earthy landscape. Woven textures like wool or heavy linen in neutral tones help bring tactile warmth to the seating and floor without competing with the desert scenery. Keeping surrounding wall art minimal allows the panoramic scale of the mural wallpaper to remain the clear anchor of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper revolves around dusty sand, soft taupe, muted sage-grey in the low shrubs, and the pale mauve and lilac-grey tints of the distant mountains. Around the design, we recommend continuing these soft neutral tones on adjacent painted walls, using off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit hues to maintain an effortless, light flow. For deeper accents, rich charcoal, chocolate brown, or warm terracotta drawn from the cow’s coat and desert terrain provide a natural, grounded contrast in upholstery, rugs, or cabinetry.
