Wallpaper - High Desert II

Our High Desert II wallpaper brings a serene desert panorama to the wall, created by artist Julia Purinton. In the foreground, rounded cactus pads in soft sage and deeper green tones anchor the composition, giving way to sweeping plains washed in gentle yellows, muted oranges, and blush pinks. Layered hills and distant mountain ridges recede softly toward a pale sky, lending a sense of open horizon and quiet depth to the room. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper is printed on paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while adding an expressive, painted aesthetic to your home.

In the room

Because the scenic landscape unfolds with horizontal layers and distant mountain silhouettes, we find this design works best on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon line can stretch out. In a living room, positioning the mural wallpapers behind a low sofa keeps the foreground cacti and sweeping landscape clearly visible above the seating. It also suits open living areas and holiday homes where you want to introduce an expansive, scenic focal point. The gentle, painterly transitions between the hills mean the design adds noticeable artistic depth without demanding loud visual contrast across the rest of the space.

Styling it

To complement the Southwestern character and artistic brushwork of our design, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings grounded in natural textures and unfussy shapes. Low-profile seating in warm leather or neutral woven upholstery lets the landscape remain the primary focus. Low wooden furniture in warm, unpolished finishes harmonises naturally with the desert tones, while simple ceramic accents or woven wool throws help echo the earthy palette of the painted scenery.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of sage green, warm ochre, muted orange, and dusty pink, backed by subtle sky tones. When selecting wall colours for adjacent surfaces, soft plaster tones, warm off-whites, or muted sand shades work exceptionally well to extend the warmth of the scenery. For trim or cabinetry, drawing out the deeper sage or olive green found in the cactus pads creates a cohesive, grounded look throughout the room.
