Wallpaper - And Then All Was Quiet

Our And Then All Was Quiet wallpaper brings a calm, expansive atmosphere to a room through photographic landscape art. Captured in black and white by Nathan Larson, the composition features a lone white horse walking through an open, flat plain with sparse grasses and low scrub, set against hazy distant mountains beneath a bright sky. The monochrome contrast gives the horse a clear presence while preserving the open feel of the surrounding scenery. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it simple to hang as a complete feature.

In the room

Because of the horizontal horizon and wide, open scale of the landscape, we see this working particularly well across a larger, uninterrupted wall in a living room, bedroom, or study. Giving the mural generous width allows the full panorama of the plain and distant mountains to unfold naturally. In a bedroom, placing the design behind a low headboard lets the upper sky and distant peaks draw the eye upward without competing with the bed. In a quiet reading corner or home library, the monochrome landscape creates an understated visual backdrop that introduces depth without visual clutter.

Styling it

The black and white photographic composition pairs naturally with both contemporary and traditional interior styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and simple so the open horizon remains the focal point:

• Choose low-profile furniture in natural materials, such as oiled oak, weathered ash, or matte black metal, to complement the earthy landscape without overwhelming the room.
• Layer quiet, tactile textiles like charcoal wool throws, natural linen cushions, or an undyed flatweave rug to echo the muted greyscale palette.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the photographic mural to act as the primary visual statement.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built entirely around neutral tones, including smoky greys, deep charcoal, soft off-white, and bright pale sky tones. When planning your surrounding palette, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites, warm stone, or soft greige on adjacent walls to maintain a cohesive, gentle transition. If you prefer higher contrast, deeper graphite trim or dark charcoal painted doors create a crisp architectural frame around the view.
