Wallpaper - Desert Blooming

Created in collaboration with Kristy Rice, our Desert Blooming wallpaper brings an open, expressive landscape to the wall through delicate watercolour washes and fine pencil sketching. Rich pink and red desert blossoms rise in the foreground, set against a soft wash of sage green and sun-warmed saffron hills in the distance. The fluid blending and generous white space give the composition an airy, hand-painted look that sits lightly in a room. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We love how the vertical composition of this landscape naturally draws the eye upward, making it particularly effective on an uninterrupted wall in a living room, home library, or meditation space. Because the artwork balances concentrated colour at the base and distant horizon with open, light areas in between, it brings personality to a room without feeling visually crowded. In a reading corner or sitting area, placing lower seating in front of the mural allows the delicate floral foreground and distant rock formations to remain fully in view.

Styling it

The earthy palette and sketch-like character pair naturally with warm, understated interiors. We suggest keeping larger surrounding furniture relatively simple so the expressive watercolour brushwork can take centre stage. Low-profile timber pieces in warm honey or natural oak tones echo the saffron and sand shades of the hills, while woven textiles in unbleached cotton or linen complement the organic, painterly quality of the design.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres around warm saffron, terracotta, soft sage green, and lively pops of rose red and pink. On adjacent walls, we suggest continuing the light, airy feel with soft warm white, parchment, or a muted sandy beige. If you prefer a richer contrast in trim or accent furniture, picking out the deep terracotta of the distant hills or a subdued olive green grounds the space beautifully while harmonising with the botanical tones.
