Wallpaper - Desert Hills

Created by Silvia Vassileva, our Desert Hills wallpaper presents a painterly interpretation of rolling terrain set beneath a broad sky. Sweeping horizontal brushstrokes define the composition, layering warm ochre, terracotta, and soft pink against deep blue and muted green tones. The impressionistic hills stretch across the expanse of the wall, offering a grounded, expansive atmosphere that works across both contemporary and classic spaces. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the horizon lines and brushwork run broadly across the visual plane, we especially like this design on wider, uninterrupted walls where the landscape has room to unfold naturally. In a living room or behind a dining table, it establishes a distinct focal point without overwhelming the surrounding space.

It also works well in quieter corners of the home, such as a bedroom, study, or home office. When placed behind a bed or desk, the darker mountain ridges ground the upper wall, while the softer, sandier tones lower down keep the furniture area feeling open. For narrower rooms or hallways, using it on a single feature wall can introduce depth and a sense of visual openness.

Styling it

To balance the expressive brushstrokes of the landscape, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with furniture that has clean, grounded silhouettes. Mid-century modern sideboards, low-profile sofas, or simple wooden dining tables allow the movement in the mural to remain the primary feature.

Natural timber in medium to warm tones, such as teak, walnut, or warm oak, harmonises effortlessly with the earthy palette of the terrain. For upholstery and textiles, look to coarse-weave wool, boucle, or natural linen in warm neutral shades to complement the visual texture of the painted surface without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a rich blend of terracotta, warm ochre, soft blush pink, and muted moss green across the foreground and hills, balanced by cornflower and navy blues in the sky.

When selecting surrounding paint colours and finishes:

• Warm neutrals such as sand, biscuit, or warm linen on adjacent walls echo the lower section of the painting and create a seamless transition.
• Deep, muted blue or olive tones on woodwork, door frames, or cabinetry draw out the darker mountain peaks and sky.
• Terracotta and clay accents in soft furnishings or decorative items bring forward the vibrant warmth in the hillside brushwork.
