Wallpaper - Willow

Our Willow wallpaper presents an intimate photographic portrait of a horse, focusing closely on the soft contours of the face, delicate eyelashes, and expressive eye. Captured by Nathan Larson in rich black and white, the composition balances gentle tonal transitions with fine, sharp detail across the curved jawline and muzzle. The quiet monochrome palette, moving through soft smoke gray and deep charcoal tones, gives the photographic mural a calm, sculptural presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle structure in the paper, it brings a grounded, nature-inspired focal point to interior spaces.

In the room

Because of the close-up photographic crop and expansive scale of the motif, we see this design working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full composition has space to unfold. In a living room, it creates a grounded backdrop behind low-backed seating, drawing attention without overwhelming the surrounding architecture. The quiet, contemplative character of the imagery also makes it a natural fit for a home study, library, or private art studio, where a focused and tranquil atmosphere is desirable. Placing the wallpaper on a single accent wall lets the large-scale portrait anchor the entire room, while ample natural daylight highlights the delicate gradients and fine detail captured in the photograph.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper serve as the primary visual statement in the room by pairing it with simple, confident furnishings. Clean-lined contemporary furniture or minimalist pieces with understated silhouettes keep the focus squarely on the photography.

To complement the cool monochrome tones of the image, we like introducing warm wood elements, such as natural oak or walnut, which add balance and warmth to the space. Matte black metal accents or muted stone surfaces can further echo the photographic depth of the print without competing with its details.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is composed entirely of neutral grayscale tones, ranging from deep, velvety blacks and smoke grays to clean highlights.

To build a cohesive palette around it, we suggest pairing the mural with soft off-white, light warm gray, or chalky greige on adjacent walls and trim. If you want a more dramatic, enveloped feel in a study or reading corner, deep charcoal or near-black paintwork creates a striking tone-on-tone effect that frames the artwork naturally. For accent colors in surrounding upholstery or accessories, muted earth tones such as taupe, olive, or warm terracotta offer an organic contrast to the black and white photograph.
