Wallpaper - Horse Eye II

Created by Sharon Vardy, our Horse Eye II wallpaper brings an intimate photographic study of nature directly onto the wall. The macro composition centres on the deep eye of a horse, capturing fine details from individual eyelashes to the dense direction of the coat and the soft reflection resting on the eye's surface. Rendered in a monochromatic palette of smoke and charcoal grays with soft off-white highlights, this wall mural offers a timeless, contemplative focal point. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the photographic subject is cropped so closely, we find this mural wallpaper works best where it has enough breathing room to be appreciated as large-scale visual art. A primary wall in a living room, study, or home office gives the rich detail space to draw the eye without overwhelming the layout. In a dining room or bedroom, positioning the horse's eye slightly offset from low-profile furniture ensures the focal point remains unobstructed. It also creates an arresting visual feature along a staircase or entryway hallway, where passing close to the wall allows you to take in the intricate textures of the coat and eyelashes.

Styling it

To balance the dramatic scale and intense detail of the photograph, we suggest keeping surrounding furnishings relatively calm and architectural. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture with clean lines allows the wallpaper to take centre stage. Rich, dark-stained wood or matte black metal accents echo the deeper shadows in the print, while lighter upholstery prevents the overall room scheme from feeling too heavy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself is built from pure neutrals, spanning deep charcoal, soft smoke gray, and pale off-white. This restrained palette gives you remarkable flexibility when choosing surrounding paint colours and materials. You can lean into a quiet, layered monochrome scheme with dove gray trim and off-white adjacent walls, or introduce warm contrast using earthy ochre, terracotta, or deep forest green through decorative textiles and upholstery.
