Wallpaper - Equine I Industrial

A galloping horse silhouette rendered in warm, rusted orange stands in clear contrast against a deep navy and charcoal black backdrop in this design by James Wiens. The equine figure features a weathered, oxidised metal visual texture across its body, mane, and tail, capturing a sense of continuous forward motion with rough-hewn edges and earthy warmth. As one of our custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this PVC-free wallpaper brings an artistic presence to an accent wall while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and graphic profile of the horse, we see this wall mural working best on a wide, relatively open wall where the entire silhouette can be appreciated from a distance. In a teenage room, creative art studio, or dedicated hobby space, placing it behind a desk, low shelving unit, or a bed frame ensures the central figure remains uncompromised. The dark background recedes naturally, allowing the warm rust tones of the horse to step forward without overwhelming the surrounding room.

Styling it

The industrial, weathered appearance of the motif invites a pared-back interior scheme that balances dark surfaces with warm, tactile materials. We would pair this design with warm timber furniture, such as oak or mid-toned walnut, alongside matte black metal architectural lighting or hardware to echo the deep backdrop. Keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and unadorned allows the movement and texture within the horse motif to remain the clear focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built around the contrast between oxidised rust orange and an almost velvety dark navy-black field. For adjacent walls and trim, deep charcoal or muted slate grey creates an atmospheric, cohesive envelope around the room. Alternatively, pulling out the warm terracotta and burnt orange tones in soft furnishings, curtains, or upholstery helps tie the room together while softening the overall contrast.
