Wallpaper - Formation

Our Formation wallpaper, designed by Kristy Rice, interprets an open desert landscape through expressive watercolour brushwork and vivid contrasts. At the centre of the composition, a slender rock tower rises alongside dramatic rock formations, painted in energetic saffron orange, rich magenta, purple, and earthy red tones. Sweeping golden and amber strokes create an expansive foreground, balanced above by a wash of cobalt blue and soft white sky. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, gallery-like feel to interior walls while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in an open living room, art studio, or creative lounge where a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the landscape to unfold. Because the composition features an expansive horizon and vertical rock pillars against an airy sky, giving it generous horizontal wall space preserves the natural sense of scale. In a room with plenty of daylight, the nuanced transitions between saffron, magenta, and cobalt blue feel especially lively, while softer evening lighting brings out the deeper warmth of the earthy tones.

Styling it

To let the expressive painterly character of the design lead the room, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture visually grounded with clean, simple silhouettes. Low-profile seating works well to keep the horizon line clear and visible. Natural warm wood tones, such as honey oak or walnut, complement the golden brushstrokes in the foreground, while understated neutral upholstery prevents the room from competing with the vivid palette.

Colour combinations

The motif is anchored by a vibrant palette of saffron orange, warm yellow, deep magenta, earthy brown, and clear cobalt blue. On adjacent walls, soft warm whites, pale sand, or muted cream shades help the landscape stand out naturally without creating harsh contrast. For accent pieces or soft furnishings, drawing out the deeper terracotta or indigo tones from the artwork creates a cohesive, considered colour scheme.
