Wallpaper - Going it Alone II

Our Going it Alone II wallpaper mural by Nathan Larson captures the expansive quiet of an open desert landscape. A horned steer walks along a dusty path in the foreground, set against low desert brush, scattered scrub, and distant mountain ridges under an open sky. We particularly like how the composition balances wide horizontal scale with grounded detail, blending dusty earth tones, muted beige, warm brown, and faded mountain hues. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating a calm, atmospheric horizon on any wall.

In the room

Because the composition features a wide horizon with the steer positioned toward the right, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted accent wall. In a living room or behind a dining table, giving the scenery continuous width allows the sense of desert scale and distant mountain layers to unfold naturally. It also works well in a study, home office, or bedroom where you want an expansive, grounded backdrop without excessive visual clutter. Keeping lower furniture centered or arranged to the left lets the steer and open path remain visible.

Styling it

The earthy, weathered character of the photograph pairs naturally with relaxed, rustic, or modern southwest interiors. We would balance the textured foreground by styling the surrounding space with warm, grounded elements:

• Warm wood furniture in oak, walnut, or reclaimed tones that echoes the natural warmth of the desert scrub
• Tactile upholstery in woven linen, canvas, or matte leather in cognac, biscuit, or faded charcoal
• Matte black metal accents or darkened iron lighting to subtly anchor the organic tones of the scenery

Color combinations

The photograph is built on a rich foundation of dusty beige, warm sand, ochre, rich hide brown, and muted mauve-gray mountain shadows. To complement these verified tones, we suggest keeping adjacent painted walls in warm off-white, sandy taupe, or soft bone to let the open landscape blend smoothly into the room. For cabinetry, trim, or textile accents, deeper shades of warm espresso, weathered tobacco, or muted olive provide a natural sense of balance.
