Wallpaper - Equine II Industrial

A bold horse silhouette emerges against a deep black background in this expressive design by James Wiens. Rendered in textured, russet and rusty brown tones, the profile captures the animal's noble form with visible, painterly brushstroke edges along the mane and jawline. The stark contrast between the warm, earthy tones of the horse and the solid dark backdrop gives the motif an artistic, graphic presence on the wall. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers, our murals are designed to bring distinctive character and effortless drama to interior spaces.

In the room

In a living room, we see this wall mural acting as a powerful focal point behind a sofa or along a main feature wall. Because the design relies on a large-scale graphic silhouette and strong tonal contrast, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full profile has room to breathe. The deep black base lends itself well to spaces with focused directional lighting or moody atmospheric schemes, while the warm russet tones prevent the room from feeling stark. It also works naturally in an open-plan living area or dedicated home art studio, where large-format animal art adds visual depth without overwhelming the rest of the layout.

Styling it

To complement the industrial and organic modern feel of this design, we recommend pairing it with furniture that balances raw surfaces with clean geometry. Low-profile seating in charcoal, deep grey, or warm cognac leather echoes the motif's palette while letting the wall mural command the vertical space.

When introducing materials around the room, black metal accents, matte iron fixtures, or weathered dark wood echo the grounded character of the artwork. Keeping surrounding decorative pieces relatively minimal allows the graphic contrast of the horse profile to stand out cleanly.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a focused palette of rich russet brown, rusty ochre, and deep black.

When decorating adjacent walls and trim, charcoal, soft graphite, or off-black paint creates a seamless, enveloping atmosphere that extends the background tone. For a lighter contrast that maintains warmth, soft taupe, muted stone, or earthy clay tones on surrounding surfaces draw out the russet highlights of the painted motif without competing with its dramatic backdrop.
