Wallpaper - US 163 Sunset

Our US 163 Sunset wallpaper captures a dramatic desert landscape at twilight, photographed by Tono Balaguer. A radiant sun sits low along the horizon, casting deep orange, fiery amber, and dark orange tones across the sky, while delicate wispy clouds soften the gradient above. Sharp, dark silhouettes of jagged Southwestern rock formations anchor the base of the composition, creating a striking graphic contrast between earth and sky. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this landscape design makes a bold, warm statement across residential spaces.

In the room

Because the photography relies on a panoramic horizon and a wide sweep of glowing sky, we see this working best on an expansive, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing this wallpaper along the main wall behind a low-profile sofa gives the rock silhouettes and horizontal sky space to breathe without feeling cut off by heavy furniture. In a bedroom, installing the design behind the headboard creates a rich, atmospheric focal point that envelopes the space in deep sunset warmth. The bold tonal transition from fiery orange to near-black silhouette means it holds its own effortlessly in larger open-plan spaces, but it also creates an intimate, grounded character in smaller, moodier rooms.

Styling it

To let the dramatic landscape command the space, we would balance the strong contrast with low-slung furniture and clean silhouettes. A Southwestern or warm minimalist interior pairs naturally with the earthy feel of the photograph.

• Anchor the room with low-profile furniture in dark charcoal, black, or deep warm wood finishes that pick up the dark silhouette line along the base of the mural.
• Introduce tactile accents like woven wool throws, matte pottery, or untreated terracotta to echo the raw, desert-inspired scenery without adding competing visual patterns.
• Keep wall sconces or floor lamps lower to the ground with warm-toned bulbs, highlighting the ambient glow of the orange sunset palette during the evening.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers around saturated dark orange, fiery gold, and glowing amber, grounded by dense black and shadowed charcoal along the horizon. To complement these verified tones, we suggest pairing adjacent walls with warm off-white, soft sand, or muted clay tones rather than cool-toned greys. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping color scheme, matte charcoal or deep espresso on adjoining trim and baseboards will extend the grounding effect of the rock silhouettes throughout the room.
