Wallpaper - Best Buds

Our Best Buds wallpaper brings a quiet, grounded presence to an interior through photographic portraiture by Nathan Larson. Two dark horses stand side by side across an earthy field, their coats catching subtle sunlight while their flowing manes and aligned heads create an immediate visual balance. The softly blurred neutral background keeps the focus entirely on the connection between the two animals, giving the composition a calm, natural rhythm. Produced made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this mural wallpaper works as a focused statement wall that feels both rustic and contemporary.

In the room

Because the composition relies on the horizontal balance of the two horses standing side by side, we see this wall mural working best on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a living room behind a low sofa or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the central motif has the space it needs without being obscured by tall storage units. The earthy palette of charcoal grey, dark brown, and warm neutral highlights makes it adaptable for quieter spaces like a home study, library, or guest room. In an entryway or hallway with good viewlines, the motif offers an immediate sense of scale and calm as you move through the home.

Styling it

When styling around this photographic design, we recommend letting the rich, dark tones of the horses ground the room while keeping surrounding elements tactile and understated.

• Pair with natural materials such as weathered oak, reclaimed timber, or matte black iron to complement the rustic character of the photography.
• Balance the deep tones of the mural with woven wool, textured boucle, or simple linen upholstery in oatmeal, chalk, or soft charcoal.
• Keep wall decor and tall furniture minimal on the main wall so the full width of the equine composition remains undisturbed.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep charcoal grey, muted black, and warm earthy brown tones, framed by a soft, diffused neutral background. To create a cohesive setting, we suggest using warm off-whites, chalky stone greys, or muted taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping look, pairing the wallpaper with dark charcoal or deep espresso timber finishes creates a striking, tonal environment.
