Wallpaper - Best Buds

Our Best Buds wallpaper captures a quiet, grounded moment between two dark horses standing side by side in an open field. Photographed by Nathan Larson, the composition focuses on the gentle alignment of the horses, their dark coats catching subtle highlights against a soft, muted background. The tonal palette of charcoal greys, deep earthy darks, and neutral shades gives the photographic motif a calm, balanced presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, this PVC-free design features a subtle structure in the paper that lends depth to the print while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

Because of its strong focal subject and photographic scale, we find this mural wallpaper works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the composition can unfold without too much visual interference. In a living room, placing the design behind a sofa gives the space a natural centre of attention while keeping the surrounding atmosphere composed and peaceful.

The design also sits comfortably in a study, home office, or quiet reading room. In these dedicated spaces, the horizontal alignment of the horses and the subdued neutral backdrop create a grounded visual anchor that does not overwhelm the room. For bedrooms and guest rooms, positioning the motif on the main wall behind the bed frame introduces warmth and character while maintaining a restful, uncluttered feel.

Styling it

When styling around this photographic wallpaper, we suggest leaning into natural textures and grounded materials that echo the organic feel of the imagery.

• Opt for warm, tactile wood finishes like natural oak, walnut, or reclaimed timber in your furniture to bring out the subtle warmth in the darker tones.
• Choose understated upholstery and soft furnishings in textured weaves, such as linen or brushed cotton, keeping patterns minimal so the wall mural remains the clear focus.
• Incorporate matte black or aged bronze metal hardware on lighting and shelving to subtly reflect the deep charcoal tones of the horses.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built on deep charcoal greys, soft blacks, and warm neutral undertones. To build a cohesive room scheme, consider pairing the mural with surrounding walls painted in chalky off-whites, warm greiges, or soft pebble tones. These lighter neutrals allow the darker elements of the photograph to stand out cleanly without creating harsh, stark contrasts. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, deeper slate greys or muted olive greens on adjacent walls or painted woodwork complement the earthy nature of the photograph beautifully.
