Wallpaper - Hunting Dog Lab

A calm black Labrador Retriever sits alert in an open landscape of golden-brown grasses and soft green scrub beneath a gently clouded sky. Created by Wellington Studio, this design has the visual character of a classic nineteenth-century oil painting, with visible brushwork across the dog's glossy dark coat and the textured rural backdrop. The warm earthy tones and portrait-style composition give it a timeless, country feel that sits comfortably in traditional interiors. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design functions like a classic portrait, we like it best on an accent wall where the central figure has room to command attention. In a living room, study, or library, it creates an immediate focal point behind a seating area or alongside bespoke joinery. It also works remarkably well in a welcoming entryway or hallway, setting a classic rural tone the moment you step through the door.

In a home office or bedroom, giving the wall mural an uninterrupted position ensures the dog's focused posture and the open horizon remain fully visible. The vertical orientation and upright posture of the Labrador naturally draw the eye upward, complementing rooms with standard or higher ceilings.

Styling it

The heritage, country sporting aesthetic makes this design a natural partner for traditional and rustic interior schemes. We would pair our mural wallpapers with rich, warm woods such as antique mahogany, dark oak, or aged walnut. Built-in bookshelves, panelled accents, or classic leather armchairs complement the painterly 19th-century feel without competing for visual prominence.

To keep the space grounded, consider surrounding the mural with substantial woven textiles such as heavy woollen throws, tweed cushions, or understated linen drapes in neutral tones. Keeping adjacent furniture relatively tailored and low ensures the portrait remains the centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is rooted in classic country tones: glossy black, deep charcoal, and soft umber in the coat, contrasted against warm ochre, straw yellow, and olive green in the foreground grasses, with pale grey-blue washes across the sky.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, we suggest continuing the warmth with soft creams, warm stone, or muted biscuit tones that echo the dry grass. For a moodier, heritage study look, deeper shades such as moss green, forest olive, or rich tobacco brown on neighbouring joinery and skirting will beautifully frame the central scene.
