Wallpaper - Antelope Close-up

Our Antelope Close-up wallpaper captures the sculpted sweep of eroded sandstone in close detail, photographed by Tono Balaguer. Flowing strata of rich terracotta, warm ochre, and deep brick red curve across the surface, offset by shaded recesses that give the composition extraordinary depth. The visual scale of the rock layers feels expansive yet intimate, turning a natural desert formation into a bold, organic abstract pattern. Printed on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, each piece is made-to-measure to suit your exact wall dimensions and is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the continuous, sweeping curves of the canyon walls, we find this mural wallpaper works best when given a generous, uninterrupted wall to unfold across. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a low-profile sofa lets the full diagonal movement of the sandstone draw the eye across the space. The warmth of the terracotta and brick tones creates an inviting backdrop in spaces where you spend longer evenings, especially under layered, warm-toned lamplight that complements the shadows within the photographic motif. It also brings a grounded presence to an art studio or dedicated creative space, where the natural, organic forms introduce visual focus without cluttering the room.

Styling it

The strong graphic curves and rich earth tones in this design pair naturally with an organic modern or contemporary aesthetic. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and grounded, allowing the dynamic movement of the rock formation to anchor the room.

• Choose low-slung furniture in neutral upholstery, such as warm off-white, oatmeal, or charcoal, to let the warm terracotta tones remain the visual centrepiece.
• Introduce dark, matte metal accents in lighting or shelving to echo the deep shadows found between the sandstone folds.
• Incorporate natural stone elements or raw ceramics to complement the organic desert character without directly copying the pattern.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on warm, earthy shades: rich brick red, burnt orange, golden ochre, and deep umber shadows. When decorating the rest of the room, adjacent walls painted in warm stone, soft plaster pink, or muted sandy beige create a seamless transition that honours the warmth of the motif. For woodwork and trim, a rich, dark espresso or charcoal grey picks up on the darkest crevices in the stone, framing the wallpaper crisply. If you want a subtle accent colour in surrounding accessories, muted olive green or warm mustard provides an earthy contrast that feels right at home alongside the terracotta tones.
