Wallpaper - Desertscape

Our Desertscape wallpaper, created by Kristy Rice, captures an expressive mountain landscape through fluid watercolor washes and fine linework. A central peak rendered in deep carmine red and purple tones anchors the horizon, surrounded by rolling hills in pastel pink, soft orange, and muted green under an open blue sky. The foreground uses loose, sweeping brushstrokes in sand, peach, and pale sage to evoke vast open terrain, while the visible watercolor paper texture gives the entire scene an authentic painterly character. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, tranquil focal point to any space.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in a living room, a creative studio, or an open-plan lounge where you want to introduce color without overwhelming the environment. Because the design features a strong horizontal landscape orientation, giving it an uninterrupted feature wall lets the mountain ridge and sweeping brushstrokes unfold across the full width of the room. Placing it behind a lower sofa or credenza keeps the layered hills and sky open to view, while the balance of warm desert tones and cool sky blue brings visual harmony across both day and evening lighting.

Styling it

To style this landscape design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean and organic to complement the painterly aesthetic. Low-profile furniture in light or warm wood tones, such as pale oak or natural birch, echoes the earthy brushstrokes in the foreground without competing with the mountain silhouette. Surrounding textiles in textured linen, boucle, or unbleached cotton in neutral sand and cream allow the watercolor artwork to remain the clear visual center of the room.

Color combinations

The motif itself combines vibrant carmine red, soft blush, and dusty purple against muted greens, warm sand, and clear sky blue. For surrounding walls and millwork, we suggest soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or gentle pale sand to extend the airy feeling of the foreground. If you prefer a richer accent color for upholstery or adjacent architectural details, pulling a muted sage green, terracotta, or deep wine from the mountain ridge creates a grounded, cohesive interior.
