Wallpaper - Desert Noir II

Our Desert Noir II wallpaper, created by June Erica Vess, brings together sweeping horizontal brushstrokes in rich desert hues. What we particularly like about this design is the interplay between warm terracotta, soft sand, and creamy ochre tones, layered with a visible, painterly texture. The composition feels fluid and expansive, creating a relaxed horizontal rhythm across the wall without feeling rigid. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room's exact dimensions and are entirely PVC-free.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an uninterrupted wall in a living room, dining space, or bedroom. Because the painterly strokes have an organic, layered flow, the pattern introduces movement without overwhelming the room. On a larger feature wall behind a sofa or low headboard, the horizontal direction helps anchor the space and create an inviting backdrop. In rooms with soft daylight or warm evening lamps, the tonal contrast between the lighter cream strokes and the deeper terracotta shades becomes especially rich and atmospheric.

Styling it

To complement the fluid, painterly character of this wallpaper, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded. Simple silhouettes in mid-toned or dark woods allow the warm earthy palette of the wall to take centre stage. Low-profile seating and unadorned architectural lines work particularly well alongside the sweeping movement of the pattern. You can also introduce textured fabrics like raw cotton or wool in neutral shades to balance the expressive brushwork without competing for visual attention.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on warm terracotta, earthy clay, pale beige, and creamy off-white tones. When painting adjacent walls or selecting major accents, we like pairing this wallpaper with soft off-whites, warm chalky neutrals, or muted sand colours to keep the room light and cohesive. For a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper warm brown or muted terracotta paint on neighbouring woodwork and doors creates a sophisticated, tonal transition.
