Wallpaper - The Hunt

Our The Hunt wallpaper captures a classic equestrian scene with energetic motion and heritage illustration styling. Created by Deborah Revell, the design centres on a rider in a bold red hunting coat and top hat leaping over a rustic wooden fence on horseback, accompanied by a hound running through the foreground terrain. Fine engraved-style line work brings texture to the horse's coat, the earthen ditch, and the surrounding hedgerow greens, while distant figures across pale rolling fields provide depth. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in an entryway, study, dining room, or living room where you want to introduce a strong narrative character. Because the composition contains dynamic horizontal movement and distinct foreground detailing, we would place this wall mural across a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall area behind a desk, a console table, or a low-backed sofa. Giving the artwork space to breathe ensures that both the central leap and the open countryside horizon remain clearly visible without being divided awkwardly by tall cabinets or doors.

Styling it

To complement the historic illustration character of the wallpaper, we would pair it with classic, grounded furnishings that share its traditional aesthetic. Darker wood tones, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or stained oak, sit naturally alongside the earthy foreground and hedgerow tones. Upholstered pieces in tactile woollen fabrics, weathered leather, or muted tweed build on the heritage mood without competing with the detailed linework of the mural. Keeping nearby accent furniture relatively simple in silhouette allows the dramatic motion of the rider and hound to stand as the primary focal point of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design balances vivid scarlet red against rich moss greens, charcoal, warm earthen creams, and soft sky tones. When painting adjacent walls or selecting woodwork colours, we suggest drawing from the softer background shades like pale stone, warm cream, or an understated sage green. For a bolder, library-style setting, a deep racing green or charcoal grey drawn from the hedgerow details creates an enveloping backdrop that highlights the bright red coat of the rider.
