Wallpaper - Shiprock Fade

Our Shiprock Fade wallpaper captures a quiet desert expanse dominated by a lone, sculpted rock formation rising against an open pale blue sky. Photographed by Nathan Larson, the landscape balances soft earthy browns, light sandy tones and dry low-lying grasses across the lower plane with the broad horizon above. The gentle contrast and sweeping view give the mural wallpaper an airy, grounded character across wide surfaces. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang in any room where you want to introduce an expansive natural perspective.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an uninterrupted horizon, we particularly like seeing this design on a wider feature wall in a living room or a dedicated meditation space. Placing the rocky focal point where it remains largely unobstructed by high furniture allows the depth of the landscape to open up the room. In larger, open living spaces, the subtle gradation from the earthy terrain up into the pale sky creates an open atmosphere without overwhelming the surrounding walls.

Styling it

We would pair this photographic wall mural with understated interior choices that mirror its natural, desert-inspired character:

• Choose low-profile seating in textured, neutral fabrics like unbleached linen or rough-spun wool to keep sightlines to the horizon clear.
• Incorporate warm, matte timber elements such as aged oak, pale ash or reclaimed wood to complement the dry grasses and sandy earth.
• Add accents in terracotta, unglazed ceramics or weathered bronze to echo the Southwestern warmth without competing with the landscape.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around earthy browns, warm light brown tones and the soft, cool blue of the open sky. To build a balanced scheme around it, we suggest using warm off-whites, muted sand or soft pebble greys on neighbouring walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting elements, rich terracotta, warm desert clay or muted slate accents will draw out the subtle variations in the rock face and desert floor.
