Wallpaper - Ellie Side Profile BW

Captured by photographer Sharon Vardy, our Ellie Side Profile BW wallpaper brings a striking wildlife portrait to the wall in rich monochrome. The composition focuses closely on an elephant in profile standing amidst wild grasses, highlighting the deep ridges across the hide, the gentle curve of the trunk, and the sweep of the ear against a softly blurred horizon. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a calm yet commanding visual presence suited to accent walls and central living areas.

In the room

Because of the scale of the animal and the directional profile, this wallpaper works especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full photograph can be viewed from a distance. In a living room, placing the mural behind a sofa or along a main focal wall gives the space an immediate sense of quiet gravity without overwhelming the room with colour.

In a study or home library, the monochrome palette sits comfortably alongside bookcases and reading areas. The open sky and soft background create visual breathing room around the darker, textured subject, making it an effective choice for rooms that benefit from a grounded, contemplative atmosphere.

Styling it

The strong black and white photographic quality of this design pairs naturally with spaces that appreciate organic textures and clean lines.

We suggest combining this wall mural with natural wood tones, such as weathered ash, warm oak, or rich walnut, which balance the cool charcoal and smoke tones of the image. Matte black accents, woven natural fibres like jute or wool, and understated, unpatterned upholstery help keep the focus squarely on the fine detail of the photography while building a layered, cohesive interior.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper ranges from deep charcoal and slate to soft smoke, pale greys, and muted off-white in the sky.

To complement these monochrome tones, you can introduce soft warm neutrals on adjacent walls, such as oatmeal, chalk white, or muted clay. For a moodier and more enveloping feel, deep charcoal or espresso tones on trim and adjoining surfaces echo the shadows in the portrait, while warm earthy textiles bring balance and depth to the room.
