Wallpaper - Head of the Flock

Our Head of the Flock wallpaper brings a calm, pastoral presence into the home through an impressionistic oil painting aesthetic by artist Sue Schlabach. A textured, fluffy sheep stands centrally in a vibrant fern green meadow beneath an open blue sky touched with warm orange notes. The painterly brushstrokes give the fleece soft layers of white, beige, and gray, while background trees add gentle depth to the countryside landscape. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers a warm rural character that works naturally as a focal point.

In the room

Because this is a painterly scenic composition with a clear central subject, we like giving this wall mural a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can unfold without heavy visual interruptions. In a nursery, playroom, or children's bedroom, placing the wallpaper along the main wall behind a low cot or bed creates a playful and peaceful focal point. The design also feels right at home in a living room, dining nook, or cottage entryway, where the pastoral subject adds relaxed charm to the room without overwhelming everyday living spaces.

Styling it

• Keep surrounding furniture lower in profile, such as simple low-backed sofas, painted wooden benches, or open shelving, so the sheep and tree horizon remain clearly visible.
• Pair the pastoral artwork with natural cottage or country interior elements, such as rustic pine or warm painted wood, woven baskets, and matte ceramic accents.
• Choose quiet, solid textiles in unbleached cotton or soft wool for rugs and drapery to let the impressionistic brushwork remain the primary pattern in the space.

Colour combinations

The artwork centers on earthy fern greens in the pasture, sky blues with warm orange and amber horizon notes, and layered whites, beiges, and grays in the fleece. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling from the softer background tones. A warm muted stone, soft creamy white, or pale sage green keeps the space cohesive, while deep olive or ochre accents on cushions and decorative items echo the landscape tones.
