Wallpaper - Split the Earth

Our Split the Earth wallpaper, created by Nathan Larson, captures a stark, cinematic landscape defined by powerful contrast and deep atmosphere. A solitary white road recedes straight towards a low horizon, cutting through textured grassland beneath a vast, brooding dark sky. What we particularly appreciate in this photographic design is the dramatic division of space, where the deep black and charcoal tones above meet the subtle grain of the open field below. Made to measure and completely PVC-free, our wall murals bring a bold, contemplative focal point to interior walls while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom where the expansive sky can create an immersive visual depth. Because the horizon sits low in the lower third of the composition, the dark upper area naturally wraps around the room without overwhelming furniture placed along the base of the wall. In a living room, positioning a low-profile sofa against the foreground road anchors the perspective effectively. For a home office or study, an uninterrupted wall allows the clean symmetry and horizon line to stretch across the room, providing a calm, grounded background.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic black and white palette of the wallpaper, we would pair it with clean-lined furniture and warm, tactile materials that soften the visual weight. Low-slung seating in warm grey or charcoal keeps the focus on the open landscape above, while natural light oak or walnut furniture adds warmth without clashing with the monochrome tones. We would keep decorative accessories relatively restrained, opting for matte ceramics or understated dark metal accents to maintain the quiet, atmospheric mood of the design.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is built on rich blacks, deep charcoal, soft greys, and crisp chalky white along the receding road. When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, we suggest softer off-whites or pale greys to contrast gently with the dark upper sky, keeping the surrounding space bright and balanced. For a moodier, more enveloping interior, deep charcoal or near-black on adjacent trims and walls can seamlessly integrate the design into the wider room palette. Muted earth tones such as taupe or slate grey on upholstery also complement the natural texture of the grassland.
