Wallpaper - Two Horses

Captured by photographer Sharon Vardy, our Two Horses wallpaper features an intimate, peaceful moment between two horses in close profile. On the left, a dappled grey horse with a soft, pale mane leans forward, gently meeting the darker bay horse on the right. The natural photographic backdrop of pale blue sky, distant paddock fencing, and soft greenery balances the rich earthy brown and cool grey tones of the animals. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design brings an authentic rural character and quiet presence to interior spaces.

In the room

Because the composition centres on a large-scale, close-up photograph of the two horses, we see this working best on an open, uninterrupted feature wall where the details of their expressions and manes remain unobstructed. In a living room or home library, placing our design along the main wall behind a lower-profile sofa or low console lets the full upper half of the motif sit naturally in view. It also works beautifully in a quiet study, where the soft outdoor daylight captured in the photograph introduces an airy horizon line and an unhurried, pastoral feel to the space.

Styling it

To complement the photographic qualities and rustic warmth of this design, we would lean towards traditional or country farmhouse styling. Keeping the surrounding furniture understated helps the focal point remain entirely on the horses. Warm, medium-toned woods such as rustic oak or pine echo the earthy saddle brown tones in the coat of the horse on the right, while painted furniture in muted off-white or stony grey picks up on the cool dapples of the grey horse. Natural woven elements, such as wool blankets or simple woven rugs, sit comfortably against the scene without competing with the detail of the photograph.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a natural palette of saddle brown, warm earthy tones, and cool dappled greys, set against a soft pale blue sky and washed paddock greens. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, soft creams, or muted stone shades will keep the room light while harmonising with the outdoor sky. If you prefer deeper contrast, muted earthy greens or soft slate greys can be used on joinery or accent pieces to pull out the darker shadows and background greenery within the photograph.
