Wallpaper - Gone Away

Our Gone Away wallpaper captures a classic nineteenth-century countryside scene rendered in the rich, narrative style of traditional oil painting. The composition centres on a rider in a vibrant red hunting coat atop a white horse clearing a rustic timber fence, horn raised mid-chase. Ahead, a fox darts across the landscape while hounds and supporting riders move through open fields framed by bare trees and an overcast, atmospheric sky. Rich saddle browns, deep earth tones, and muted landscape greens give the design an authentic heritage character with substantial visual depth. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper is straightforward to hang and brings a timeless narrative into the home.

In the room

Because the scene contains an active narrative with clear horizontal movement across the field, we see this working best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room or a dedicated home library, giving the panoramic composition room to breathe ensures that key figures, from the leaping horse to the pack of hounds, remain fully visible rather than cut off by tall bookcases or bulky cupboards.

The moody sky and earthy base palette lend themselves well to spaces with balanced daylight, where the subtle gradations in the cloudy horizon and woodland silhouettes remain legible throughout the day. In narrower rooms, the strong horizontal flow can help draw the eye along the length of the wall, making it an engaging focal point behind a low-backed sofa or along a primary reading area.

Styling it

To complement the nineteenth-century sporting heritage of the motif, we suggest drawing on elements of classic English country interior style. Deeply toned woodwork, such as aged oak or rich walnut, sits comfortably alongside the saddle brown and timber shades depicted throughout the landscape.

For surrounding furniture and upholstery, textured wools, heavier woven textiles, or patinated leather provide an appropriate tactile weight that mirrors the oil-painted character of our wall murals. We would avoid high-gloss modern finishes or ultra-minimalist silhouettes here, opting instead for classic proportions, understated brass accents, and traditional furnishings that respect the historic feel of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design is anchored by warm saddle brown, rich earth tones, deep woodland greens, and the striking red of the rider's coat, all set against a soft, stormy grey sky. When choosing colours for neighbouring walls, woodwork, and trim, consider drawing from these existing tonal values to create a cohesive atmosphere.

Muted moss greens and soft peat browns work naturally on adjacent painted surfaces, extending the warmth of the countryside scenery. For ceiling mouldings, skirting boards, or window frames, an off-white with warm stone undertones softens the transition into the overcast sky without creating harsh contrast against the darker base of the landscape. If you want to introduce a subtle accent colour in surrounding textiles, a muted rust or deep brick red will quietly echo the rider's coat.
