Wallpaper - Going it Alone III

Our Going it Alone III wallpaper, created by Nathan Larson, captures a solitary desert mountain rising gently above an open arid plain. The panoramic composition balances the textured slopes of the rocky peak with broad horizontal bands of desert scrub and a quiet, pale sky. Rendered in subdued tones of dusty mauve, warm taupe, sand, and faded sage, the photographic wall mural brings a grounded, expansive presence to an interior. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a broad, continuous horizon line, we find it works best on a wider uninterrupted wall where the full mountain formation can unfold. In a living room or behind a low bed frame in a primary bedroom, the low focal point anchors the room without feeling heavy or enclosed. The quiet gradient of the sky also leaves ample visual breathing room above head height, making it well suited to spaces with standard ceiling heights. In a home office or dining area, placing this wall mural along the main sightline introduces an open, landscape feel that extends the visual boundary of the room.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding interior simple and grounded to let the quiet scale of the landscape stand out. Low-profile furniture with clean, horizontal lines echoes the natural composition of the plain without competing with the ridge of the mountain. Matte, natural finishes like unvarnished pale wood, clay ceramics, and flat-woven wool or linen upholstery pair naturally with the dry desert palette. Rather than high-gloss accents, choose muted, brushed hardware or dark, powder-coated metal elements that ground the lighter tones of the sky and sand.

Color combinations

The design is built on a subtle palette of dusty mauve, stony taupe, warm desert sand, and soft bone gray in the sky. To complement these shades, we suggest painting adjacent walls in warm off-white, pale clay, or light sandy beige to maintain a seamless, tonal backdrop. For furniture and larger textiles, deeper accents such as charcoal, slate, or faded umber can introduce contrast and draw out the darker shadows running along the mountain ridges.
