Wallpaper - Broken Tales

Capturing the dramatic expanse of rugged salt flats beneath a heavy sky, our Broken Tales wallpaper brings a moody, atmospheric desert landscape to the wall. Photographed by Andreas Agazzi, the composition focuses on the cracked, crusted terrain in shades of slate grey, mineral white and deep earth, stretching toward distant mountain silhouettes. A sliver of warm orange twilight breaks along the horizon, balancing the dark cloud cover above. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings expansive depth and graphic visual texture to a room.

In the room

Because of its deep horizon and strong sense of perspective, we see this design working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall. In a living room, study or home office, placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or a streamlined desk allows the foreground detail of the salt flats to anchor the lower part of the room while the open sky and distant peaks draw the eye across the space. The darker slate and grey palette gives the room an intimate, grounded character, making it well suited to spaces dedicated to quiet reading or focused work.

Styling it

To let the detailed landscape remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple in form and understated in finish:

• Pair the deep slate tones with matte black metal accents or dark stained wood to echo the low-key mood of the scene.
• Bring in low-profile seating in charcoal, deep grey or neutral upholstery so the wide horizon line remains visible across the room.
• Add focused directional lighting or warm table lamps to highlight the faint amber glow on the horizon during the evening.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around cool dark slate, charcoal, stone grey and crusty white, punctuated by a subtle band of warm orange at the horizon. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, muted greys and off-whites keep the room balanced without competing with the landscape. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, a deep slate or charcoal paint on surrounding walls creates a seamless backdrop that emphasizes the wallpaper's evening light. Warm amber or terracotta accents in small details can pick up on the horizon glow.
