Wallpaper - New Mexico Calling I

Our New Mexico Calling I wallpaper mural captures an expansive desert landscape beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. Created by Nathan Larson, this photographic design balances the rugged, warm earth tones of distant mountain ridges with sweeping teal and soft cream clouds. The low horizon line allows the sky to dominate the composition, bringing an airy sense of openness to the wall. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure, PVC-free, and printed on paper featuring a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the dramatic sky occupies the upper portion of the design, this wall mural works particularly well on wider, uninterrupted walls where the full panorama can unfold. In a living room or behind a low-backed sofa, the rugged mountain peaks remain visible above seating, grounding the room while the open sky visually lifts the space upwards. In a bedroom, placing this design behind a bed creates a grounded, serene backdrop without overwhelming the surrounding interior.

The composition also suits spaces like a home office or dining room where an accent wall can introduce depth and character. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the warm desert sand and the moodier teal hues in the upper sky become especially distinct.

Styling it

When styling around this photographic wallpaper, we recommend echoing the warm, desert-inspired tones found in the lower half of the landscape. Furniture in warm, natural woods such as walnut or darker stained timber pairs naturally with the earthy mountains and plains.

To keep the focal point on the expansive landscape, we suggest selecting furniture with clean, low-profile silhouettes. Grounding the space with woven wool or jute textures in neutral creams and sandy beiges reinforces the natural atmosphere without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on warm terracotta, sandy beige, and sun-baked earth along the horizon, contrasted against muted teal, soft grey, and cream across the clouds.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft bone, or muted desert clays work seamlessly to extend the warmth of the landscape. For a bolder, moodier room scheme, drawing out the deeper teal-grey from the upper sky on surrounding walls creates an intimate, cohesive feel.
