Wallpaper - Horse Sketch on Burlap

Our Horse Sketch on Burlap wallpaper by Avery Tillmon features a finely detailed pencil sketch of a horse's head against a textured burlap-look background. The study captures an expressive profile with upright ears, soft shading across the mane, and graphite cross-hatching that lends the drawing genuine depth and character. Grounded in a palette of warm beige, muted grey, and charcoal, the composition creates an understated, artistic presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and bring a classic illustrative quality to residential interiors.

In the room

We find this wall mural works exceptionally well as a focal point in a living room, study, or home office where the large-scale sketch can be appreciated up close. Placing it on a primary feature wall, such as behind a desk, a reading chair, or a dining table, gives the equine portrait the uninterrupted space it deserves. In an entryway or hallway staircase, the vertical orientation of the horse's head guides the eye upward and adds visual height. The subdued neutral tones also make it a natural fit for a bedroom or cabin, introducing character without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

Because the design carries a distinct heritage and farmhouse feel, we like to pair it with traditional or rustic interior elements. Darker wood furniture, such as antique walnut or weathered timber, echoes the equestrian mood and grounds the light beige background. To balance the detailed line work of the sketch, keep larger surrounding textiles simple and textured rather than patterned, using coarse linen, chunky wool, or natural woven rugs. Accents in antique bronze or matte black iron naturally connect with the charcoal graphite lines.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself relies on a palette of warm oatmeal beige, soft stone grey, and deep charcoal pencil strokes. Around the wallpaper, we suggest carrying through warm neutrals such as creamy off-whites, muted greige, or soft taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper contrasting tones, forest greens, muted olive, rich tobacco brown, or charcoal navy on cabinetry or accent furniture complement the rustic background while preserving the quiet, focused mood of the portrait.
