Wallpaper - Mother and Child

Our Mother and Child wallpaper by Krystal Adams brings a classic, rural scene into the home with the quiet intimacy of a 19th-century oil painting. The design centres on a gentle moment between a mare and her foal standing in an open, pastoral field, rendered in soft brushstrokes, muted greens, and warm earthy undertones. The balance between the detailed animal figures and the expansive, softly painted landscape creates a grounded visual depth that feels peaceful without overpowering a space. Like all of our wallpapers, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition functions as an expansive landscape with a clear focal point, we like giving this design a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon and the bond between the horses can be appreciated. It works wonderfully as a feature wall behind a bed in a main bedroom or guest room, where the pastoral scenery adds a calm, sheltering presence. In a living room or dining room, positioning the mural wallpapers behind lower seating or a sideboard keeps the main figures in clear view while anchoring the room in a gentle, heritage mood. The muted palette also suits a quiet study, library, or home office, especially in rooms with generous natural daylight that highlights the subtle tonal shifts in the grassy meadow and open sky.

Styling it

• Anchor the traditional English country feel by pairing the design with warm wood furniture, such as antique pine, warm oak, or a mid-toned walnut, which naturally echoes the earthy shades in the landscape.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics quiet with plain, textured weaves in oatmeal, flax, or deep olive rather than competing patterned textiles.
• Choose decorative accents with aged finishes, like muted brass lighting, simple earthenware, or classic framed botanicals, to complement the historical oil painting aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design is built around an earthy palette of soft meadow greens, warm golden browns, and gentle, atmospheric neutrals in the sky. To build a cohesive room around our wall murals, we suggest bringing in adjacent wall paint or woodwork in soft chalky off-whites, warm stone, or muted taupe. For a deeper, more enveloping scheme in a study or library, drawing out the deeper forest and olive green tones onto surrounding trim, panelling, or cabinetry gives the space a tailored, heritage finish.
