Wallpaper - Dartmoor Ponies IV

Our Dartmoor Ponies IV wallpaper brings a striking photographic study of two ponies standing close together in an open landscape into the home. Photographed by Deborah Revell, the composition focuses on the natural companionship between the animals, highlighted by their glossy coats and windswept manes against a softly blurred natural backdrop. Rich dark chocolate and deep earthy brown tones create a warm monochrome palette that feels quiet and grounded. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings a serene, nature-inspired focal point to interior walls.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a living room, study, or home library where its tranquil photographic character can set an unhurried, reflective tone. Because the two ponies form a distinct central subject, we would give the mural an uninterrupted wall area, such as behind a low-backed sofa or along a main focal wall, ensuring both animals remain clearly in view. In a study or reading room, positioning the wallpaper across from your desk or seating area creates a calm visual anchor. The balanced contrast between the deep dark chocolate tones of the ponies and the lighter background allows the design to sit comfortably in compact rooms without feeling overwhelming, as well as on broader feature walls in larger living areas.

Styling it

The photographic depth and warm monochrome tones make Dartmoor Ponies IV easy to combine with considered, contemporary interior styles.

We suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated in form to let the natural texture of the photography take centre stage. Pieces in warm, unvarnished woods like oiled oak, walnut, or ash echo the earthy tones of the ponies' coats. For seating and upholstery, simple woven fabrics in oatmeal, muted sand, or charcoal grey provide a tactile, grounded complement to the wall. To maintain the peaceful mood of the room, avoid high-gloss surfaces or loud decorative clutter, choosing instead matte ceramics or quiet bronze accents that enhance the timeless photographic feel.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper centres on deep dark chocolate brown and warm monochrome earth tones set against softer, neutral greys and hazy greens in the background.

When decorating around the mural, we recommend pairing it with soft warm white, chalky stone, or light greige on neighbouring walls and woodwork to keep the room light and balanced. For deeper accent colours on upholstery or cabinetry, muted espresso, rich taupe, or dark charcoal pick up the shadowed details of the ponies' coats, creating a cohesive, tonally connected space.
