Wallpaper - And Then All Was Quiet

A lone white horse walks across a wide, open field in our And Then All Was Quiet wallpaper, captured in balanced black and white tones. The composition stretches outward with low shrubs and grasses across the foreground, while distant mountains sit softly under a bright, expansive sky. Created by Nathan Larson, this photographic design brings a quiet, open atmosphere to interior walls. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the photographic landscape carries a deep sense of horizon and distance, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room, bedroom, or study. Giving the design generous horizontal room lets the full expanse of the plain and distant mountain ridge unfold naturally. In a living room, placing it along the main seating wall creates an open visual backdrop that helps the room feel less enclosed. In a bedroom or home library, the gentle gradient of the open sky brings a restful, calm presence to the space without feeling heavy or visually cluttered.

Styling it

The classic monochrome palette and open scenery pair naturally with both modern and rustic or Southwestern interior styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded to complement the open landscape. Low-profile seating or clean-lined wooden furniture in warm natural tones helps balance the cool smoke and gray notes in the photograph. Simple linen textiles or textured woven wool elements sit comfortably alongside the natural feel of the field without competing with the detailed focal point of the horse.

Colour combinations

Our design is built entirely on neutral black, gray, smoke, and soft white tones. Around it, we suggest working with warm off-whites or soft pale grays on adjacent walls to echo the luminous tone of the sky. For trim or built-in shelving, deeper charcoal or slate adds crisp architectural definition, while earth tones like warm taupe, sand, or muted terracotta provide a gentle contrast that brings warmth to the black and white landscape.
