Wallpaper - Mesa View I

Designed by Kristy Rice, our Mesa View I wallpaper brings an expressive desert landscape to life through flowing watercolour washes and delicate linework. The composition captures the sweeping horizon of the Southwestern landscape, layering warm sunshine yellow and rich terracotta mesas against deep blue skies and soft cloud outlines. Broad, saturated colour bleeds across the foreground ground the design, while the open white sky creates a sense of airy space. Like all of our wallpapers, this mural is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see Mesa View I working especially well as an expansive statement on an open living room wall. Because the artwork relies on horizontal landscape layers and broad sky, giving it a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the full panorama and horizon to unfold naturally. In an open-plan lounge or sitting area, placing this design behind a low sofa keeps the mesa silhouettes and delicate sky visible above the furniture line. The lighter upper section also keeps higher wall areas feeling spacious, while the concentrated yellows and earth tones anchor the lower half of the space.

Styling it

To let the vibrant watercolour character of this wall mural remain the focal point, we would keep the surrounding furniture grounded and relatively minimal in form. Low-profile seating in warm neutral upholstery creates an easy foundation that does not compete with the expressive pigment bleeds. Warm timber pieces, such as low oak or ash sideboards, echo the natural desert palette without adding visual clutter. Soft, unpatterned woven textiles work well to complement the painted details without overwhelming the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by radiant sunshine yellow, terracotta, desert greens, and washes of cobalt and indigo blue against a crisp white background. To create a cohesive room scheme, we suggest pulling from the warmer background tones for adjacent walls, using soft ecru, muted sand, or warm off-white paint. If you prefer to accentuate the cooler accents, a deep navy or slate blue on nearby woodwork or accent seating provides a rich, intentional contrast to the golden foreground.
