Wallpaper - Illustration of Running Hounds

Our Illustration of Running Hounds wallpaper presents a classic sporting scene set against gentle rolling countryside. Created by Wild Apple Portfolio, the design captures three poised hunting dogs across a grassy hillside, rendered with fine etched linework and delicate watercolour washes. Two hounds display white coats with warm reddish-brown markings, while the foreground hound features striking black and white patches. In the background, muted hills and soft greenery meet a calm water horizon beneath an expansive, softly clouded sky. Custom printed to your exact wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers bring heritage character and vintage countryside charm to interior walls.

In the room

We see this scenic design working especially well in a study, home office, or reading library, where its traditional sporting aesthetic brings depth and narrative to the space. Because the artwork forms an open landscape composition with a generous sky in the upper half, it suits a main feature wall behind a desk, a low console, or a dining room sideboard. In a living room or country sitting area, placing it across a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full perspective of the landscape and the energetic pose of each hound to unfold naturally without feeling crowded by high furniture.

Styling it

To complement the heritage country feel of this design, we recommend pairing it with classic furnishings and natural textures. Rich dark wood furniture, such as antique mahogany or warm walnut, anchors the foreground of the landscape beautifully. Traditional architectural details like painted wainscoting or picture rails work harmoniously below the artwork. For upholstered seating, muted leather or tailored tweed fabrics in earthy tones echo the rural sporting mood without competing with the detailed etching.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a natural palette built on earthy olive and moss greens, warm chestnut browns, charcoal black, and soft eggshell whites, framed by muted slate and sky blues above. When selecting paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or trim, warm off-whites and pale stone shades create a seamless transition to the open sky. For a cosier, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper olive tones or rich woodland browns onto adjacent doors and cabinetry brings warmth to the entire room.
