Wallpaper - Dusty Rider II

Created by Nikita Jariwala, our Dusty Rider II wallpaper brings together illustrative Southwest-inspired motifs with a graphic, modern composition. A rider in a wide-brimmed hat sits astride a horse against a desert backdrop of saguaro cacti, rolling ridges, and pale skies. We particularly like how the warm terracotta, sand, and earthy brown tones in the foreground are balanced by olive greens, muted sage, and a teal accent on the hatband. With its poster-like colour blocking and visible textured paper feel in the artwork, this design offers an expressive focal point that works wonderfully across feature walls. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and completely PVC-free.

In the room

We see Dusty Rider II working especially well in living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms where you want to introduce narrative and character without overwhelming the room. Because the composition centres on a bold vertical figure and horse portrait in the foreground, we recommend placing it on a relatively clear wall where the main character and desert scenery can be appreciated in full view. In a study or guest room, giving this wallpaper the primary accent wall behind a low desk or bedhead allows the warm, grounded colour scheme to frame the entire interior.

Styling it

The distinct desert palette and illustrative style lend themselves well to mid-century modern, rustic contemporary, or eclectic interiors. We suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with warm, natural wood finishes such as walnut, teak, or warm-toned oak to echo the earthy tans and browns of the landscape.

To keep the visual balance effortless, let the wallpaper carry the pattern in the room and choose simpler, solid-colour upholstery or bedding in unbleached cotton, rust, or deep olive. Textured ceramics, woven wool rugs, and dark iron or matte black metal accents also complement the graphic line work within the illustration.

Colour combinations

The verified palette within our design features rich chestnut brown, warm ochre, sand, dusty terracotta, and muted cactus green, highlighted with creamy off-white and a splash of teal.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or trim, we recommend pulling out the lighter sandy tones or an earthy biscuit shade to create a harmonious, enveloping space. If you prefer deeper contrast, a muted olive green or warm charcoal can frame the wallpaper beautifully while picking up on the darker graphic elements of the horse and rider.
