Wallpaper - Paddock DAys

In this wallpaper mural, Nathan Larson captures an intimate, close-up photographic portrait of a horse in quiet sepia and monochrome tones. We particularly like the gentle visual texture running through the image, reminiscent of classic analogue photography with soft grain and subtle weathered accents. The striking white blaze down the horse's face brings a clean point of focus against the deeper, shaded contours of the neck and mane. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an expressive focal point that adds warmth and depth to an interior wall.

In the room

Because of the bold, large-scale composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the horse's expressive profile can be seen in full. In a living room behind a low sofa or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the gentle tonal shifts create a calm, grounded atmosphere without overwhelming the space. In a home office or study, the photographic character lends a classic, contemplative feel. Giving the mural generous wall width allows the soft, muted background to balance the striking detail of the horse's face.

Styling it

We would pair this design with warm, unpretentious interior elements that echo its rustic, timeless character. Natural materials like warm oak, mid-toned woods, and textured textiles such as heavy woollen blankets or woven rugs sit comfortably alongside the sepia-toned imagery. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively understated in form allows the expressive scale of the photography to lead the room. Dark bronze or blackened iron accents on lighting and hardware can pick up on the deep shadow tones within the horse's coat.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design relies on warm charcoal, sepia, soft ash grey, and muted off-white. To complement these tones on adjacent walls or trim, we suggest leaning into soft neutrals such as oatmeal, warm putty, or chalky stone. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal grey or espresso accents will draw out the rich shadow details in the mane and muzzle. For a brighter, more open feel, warm off-whites will mirror the distinctive white blaze while keeping the overall room light.
