Wallpaper - Sandstorms

Our Sandstorms wallpaper, created by Pamela Munger, brings together sweeping horizontal brushstrokes, layered neutral tones, and subtle painterly texture to form an expansive abstract landscape. What we particularly like about this design is the gentle balance between the cooler smoke gray and slate washes across the upper portion and the warmer ochre, sand, and beige passages grounded near the base. The visual scale is generous and calm, letting soft color transitions and broad painterly gestures define the wall without overwhelming it. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the artwork is built around a wide, horizontal composition reminiscent of distant clouds and open ground, we see this working exceptionally well on a main living room wall behind a low sofa or credenza. The open upper section keeps the visual weight balanced, ensuring the space feels airy and uncrowded.

In a bedroom, we like this mural wallpaper positioned behind the headboard, where the calm gray and warm neutral bands create a serene focal point that wraps the sleeping area in quiet tones. It is equally suited to a home office, especially on the wall directly in your line of sight, where the abstract painterly rhythm adds depth without introducing distracting detail.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, low profiles and unadorned silhouettes so the expansive brushwork remains unobstructed. Minimalist or contemporary pieces in warm woods like white oak or bleached ash echo the golden sand undertones in the lower half of the design, while simple matte black accents can pick up the fine dark brush mark near the bottom edge.

For textiles, keep things quiet and textural. Off-white wool, unbleached cotton, or soft gray fabrics let the subtle tonal shifts in the artwork take center stage without competing for visual attention.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a sophisticated palette of smoke gray, pale slate, cool off-white, and warm golden ochre set against neutral sand and beige tones.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, we suggest pulling from the softer tones within the mural. A gentle stone gray or a warm, muted off-white creates a natural transition from the wall mural into the rest of the room. If you prefer deeper contrast in surrounding decor, charcoal or slate gray on baseboards or low cabinetry anchors the composition effectively.
