Wallpaper - Petrified Forest

Our Petrified Forest wallpaper, created by Pamela Munger, depicts an expansive desert landscape painted in soft, layered brushwork. Earthy pinks, muted browns, and dusty mauve tones stretch across the rolling ground, balanced by deep green desert scrub in the foreground and a sweeping sky of slate blue and cloud white above. The oil paint look brings visible artistic texture to the scene, giving the wide horizon an open, tranquil character. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this landscape working beautifully in a main living room or an open sitting area, where a wider wall allows the expansive horizon and open sky to unfold naturally. Because the composition is divided horizontally between the layered desert ground and the sweeping sky, placing lower furniture like a low-backed sofa or credenza in front keeps the visual depth of the hills fully intact. In a vacation home or country retreat, it brings a calm, grounding presence to a feature wall, creating a quiet focal point without overpowering the space.

Styling it

The Southwestern atmosphere and painted quality of the motif lend themselves well to rustic, mid-century modern, or contemporary desert-inspired interiors. We would pair this design with warm timber furniture such as walnut or oiled oak, which echoes the rich brown and mauve undertones in the terrain. For upholstery and textiles, woven natural fabrics in oatmeal, sand, or unbleached canvas complement the earthy ground, while simple ceramic accents or dark iron hardware provide a subtle, grounded contrast to the painterly strokes.

Colour combinations

The palette of the wallpaper centers on earthy slate blue, muted desert pink, warm terracotta brown, and dusty mauve, offset by mossy green foliage. Around the mural, we suggest pairing these tones with warm off-white or soft biscuit on adjacent painted walls and woodwork to maintain an airy feel. For a slightly moodier, enveloping scheme, picking out the deep slate blue or dusky mauve for trim, shelving, or accent chairs creates a cohesive, considered look.
