Wallpaper - Horse Sketch on Burlap

In our Horse Sketch on Burlap wallpaper, created by Avery Tillmon, a detailed pencil sketch of a horse's head is set against a warm, burlap-textured background. The composition highlights the animal's expressive eyes, upright ears, and finely rendered mane, using cross-hatching and graphite-like shading to build depth and subtle contrast. The neutral palette balances soft grey line work with earthy beige tones, giving the motif an artistic, traditional character. Printed made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring a considered focal point to any interior.

In the room

This design works particularly well in spaces where you want a classic, contemplative atmosphere without overwhelming the room with colour. In a study, library, or home office, we like placing it behind a desk or alongside open bookshelves, where the fine pencil detail can be appreciated up close. It also sits comfortably on an accent wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom, particularly on an uninterrupted wall where the full profile of the horse remains unobstructed by tall furniture. In an entryway or hallway staircase, the vertical posture of the sketch provides an engaging sense of height and presence as you move through the home.

Styling it

We suggest pairing this design with interiors that share its traditional, heritage, or rustic sensibility. It naturally complements warm, weathered timber furniture, such as antique pine or dark oak, which echo the tactile look of the burlap background. To balance the graphic nature of the sketch, keep surrounding upholstery and curtains relatively understated, favouring neutral fabrics like unbleached linen or textured wool. For decorative accents, consider aged bronze or matte black metal finishes on lighting and picture frames to quietly pick up the deeper graphite tones in the pencil work.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored in warm beige, muted oatmeal, and graphite grey. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend staying within a tonal family of creamy off-whites, warm stone, or muted taupe to create a seamless, enveloping environment. If you prefer subtle contrast, deeper shades such as charcoal, slate, or a dark olive green on adjacent cabinetry or skirting boards will draw out the darker pencil strokes while keeping the overall room grounded and balanced.
