Wallpaper - And Then All Was Quiet

Our And Then All Was Quiet wallpaper by Nathan Larson captures a solitary white horse moving through a wide, open landscape in black and white photography. The composition balances the smooth form and flowing mane of the horse against low ground shrubs, open plains, and distant, hazy mountain contours under an expansive sky. Tonal shifts between smoky charcoal, soft neutral greys, and pale whites give the photographic scene an open, uncluttered atmosphere with a strong horizontal rhythm. We produce all our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an expansive horizon and atmospheric perspective, we see this working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or bedroom, placing the design along a main feature wall lets the panoramic landscape breathe without the horse or mountain lines feeling cut off.

In a study, home library, or guest bedroom, the quiet photographic depth introduces visual space without overwhelming the room. The subdued greyscale palette works comfortably across larger wall surfaces where high-contrast colours might feel too demanding. If you have generous natural daylight from large windows, the subtle grey gradients and distant mountain details become especially clear.

Styling it

The black and white photography pairs naturally with classic, traditional, and rustic interiors, as well as more modern spaces that lean on clean lines. To keep the visual focus on the scenery, we suggest surrounding the wallpaper with grounded, simple furniture.

• Pair the scene with warm wood furniture or mid-century pieces to introduce warmth against the monochrome grey palette.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics relatively plain, choosing unpatterned weaves in neutral or earthy tones so the wall remains the primary visual feature.
• Use soft, warm lighting in the evening to soften the greyscale contrast and enhance the calm mood of the photographic landscape.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design consists of neutral smoke greys, deeper charcoal tones, and soft off-whites.

To complement these greyscale tones, we recommend pairing adjacent walls and woodwork with warm off-whites, stone neutrals, or soft chalky greys rather than stark, cold whites. If you want to introduce colour through accents or painted cabinetry, muted earthy hues like warm taupe, muted clay, olive, or soft charcoal complement the photographic landscape without competing with it.
