Wallpaper - Vintage Horse Portrait I

Our Vintage Horse Portrait I wallpaper brings a classic equestrian oil-painting style into the room, created in collaboration with Crimson Cottage. The composition centres on a chestnut thoroughbred trotting across an open meadow against a backdrop of soft green trees and an overcast sky. We particularly like the visible brushstrokes and rich tonal depth in the horse’s coat, which give the motif the authentic character of traditional fine art. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper, this design functions as a striking large-format focal point for your interior.

In the room

Because the motif is structured as a single wide artwork rather than a repeating pattern, we think this design works best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the horse and landscape can be seen in their entirety. In a living room or drawing room, placing it behind a low-backed sofa allows the horizon and equestrian subject to stay fully visible. It also creates a distinguished atmosphere in a study, home library, or dining room, especially where the wall benefits from gentle, diffused daylight that highlights the soft painted brushwork.

Styling it

To complement the traditional equestrian theme, we suggest styling around this mural with classic, understated pieces that do not compete with the central motif.

Darker wood furniture, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or aged oak, echoes the warm chestnut tones of the horse. Upholstery in textured fabrics like wool, muted velvet, or soft leather creates an inviting balance with the painted landscape. We recommend keeping wall fixtures, such as picture lights or sconces, in aged brass or antique bronze to suit the heritage feel of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by warm chestnut browns, earthy greens, soft meadow tones, and a gentle cloud grey. When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, deep forest greens or rich olive shades draw out the landscape backdrop. If you prefer a lighter, more neutral space, warm muted stone, clotted cream, or soft greige walls let the central equestrian portrait stand out naturally.
