Wallpaper - Gallop

Our Gallop wallpaper, created in collaboration with Anne Tavoletti, captures the fluid motion of a horse in full stride through expressive watercolour and ink styling. Warm shades of sienna brown and soft beige define the horse’s muscular form, set against a lightly textured off-white ground with delicate paint splatters and subtle green brushstrokes underfoot. The balance between bold gestural brushwork and light, open space gives this mural wallpaper a striking presence without feeling visually heavy. Like all Wallism wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif carries strong horizontal momentum and a clear central focus, we see this working particularly well as a feature wall in a living room, study, or home art studio. In a living room, positioning the wallpaper along a wider uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa or credenza allows the full sweep of the mane, tail, and open background to breathe. In a study or home library, placing it opposite a reading chair or along an open wall brings an earthy, dynamic focal point into the room. The lighter background keeps the overall feeling open and airy, so it sits comfortably across larger spaces as well as more focused accent areas.

Styling it

We like pairing this design with interior elements that echo its natural, equestrian character while keeping the room uncluttered.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as mid-toned oak, walnut, or antique pine, to complement the earthy sienna and brown tones of the artwork.
• Introduce tactile, unrefined fabrics like woven wool throws, textured bouclé, or muted linen upholstery to build warmth around the crisp painted motif.
• Keep wall decor and tall cabinetry away from the main composition so the dynamic silhouette of the horse remains the primary statement.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on an earthy palette of sienna brown, warm beige, soft off-white, and understated hints of grassy green. When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, trim, or large furniture, consider warm neutrals like soft parchment, muted stone, or gentle oatmeal to extend the background tone throughout the space. If you prefer deeper contrast, rich earth tones such as warm umber, tobacco brown, or a subdued moss green work beautifully alongside the artwork to create a grounded, cohesive scheme.
