Wallpaper - Pastoral Toile, Black & White

Our Pastoral Toile, Black & White wallpaper captures a peaceful rural woodland landscape, rendered in an etching-inspired monochrome style. Delicate foliage and blossoming wildflowers fill the foreground, leading towards tall, patterned trees and soft rolling hills beneath an open sky. We particularly like the fine stippling and dot work across the tree canopies, which adds rich visual texture and depth across the entire composition. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, our made-to-measure wall murals are designed to be straightforward to hang in any room.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a living room, library, or dedicated quiet room where the expansive scenery can unfold across a broader, uninterrupted wall. Because the landscape features distinct foreground details and distant horizons, giving the wallpaper room to breathe allows the full panoramic depth of the woodland to take centre stage. In a study or home library, placing our mural wallpapers behind low bookcases or a reading chair creates a calm backdrop without competing with the surrounding furniture. The soft grey and smoke-toned palette also makes the pattern easy to live with across larger spaces, adding character while keeping the room feeling open and balanced.

Styling it

To complement the classic 19th-century etching character of the pattern, we would pair this wallpaper with heritage or timeless interior elements.

• Introduce warm wood furniture, such as antique mahogany, dark oak, or warm walnut, to bring depth and warmth to the cool monochrome scenery.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings relatively quiet, opting for solid neutral fabrics in off-white, oatmeal, or charcoal to let the detailed landscape remain the focus.
• Incorporate vintage-inspired metal accents like aged brass, antique bronze, or blackened iron in lighting and hardware to echo the historic printmaker feel.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built on a refined palette of soft black, smoke grey, and neutral off-white tones. When choosing paint for adjoining walls, woodwork, and ceilings, we recommend working with soft chalky whites or warm mineral greys that mirror the lighter areas of the sky. For a more dramatic, library-like atmosphere, a deep charcoal or muted slate grey on surrounding skirting boards and architraves grounds the design beautifully while accentuating the fine line work of the trees.
