Wallpaper - Two Horses BW

Photographer Sharon Vardy captures an intimate, quiet moment between two horses in this monochrome design. The composition centres on their gentle profile interaction, balancing the pale, dappled coat of the horse on the left with the deeper, shadowed tones of the companion on the right. Soft smoke-grey values, fine textural detail in the manes, and a softly blurred outdoor background give the photographic motif a calm and honest presence on the wall. Our custom-printed mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making them straightforward to hang in any interior.

In the room

Because the photographic composition relies on the close relationship between the two profiles, we find this wallpaper works best on a wider, uninterrupted feature wall where both animals can be seen in full scale. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing the mural behind a low sofa or a desk keeps the heads and expressive details well above the furniture line. The open tonal balance of the sky and light background also prevents the large-scale imagery from visually crowding compact rooms, while bringing a steady, grounded focal point to larger open spaces.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding interior relatively understated to let the photographic qualities of the mural lead the space.

• Pair the monochrome palette with warm, natural wood furniture such as oak or walnut to soften the graphic black and white contrast.
• Introduce textured upholstery and simple woven wool rugs in stone, charcoal, or oatmeal tones to complement the quiet mood without adding competing patterns.
• Keep wall fixtures and framing minimal, using matte black or brushed metal accents that echo the darker tones in the photograph.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built from a spectrum of neutral greys, crisp off-whites, and deep charcoal smoke tones. When selecting surrounding wall paint and furnishings, soft chalky whites, pale ash, and warm grey shades create a seamless transition. For a slightly more defined look, surrounding walls painted in a muted slate or dark graphite draw out the deeper values in the horse on the right, framing the lighter areas of the photograph with striking contrast.
