Wallpaper - Still

Our Still wallpaper brings a striking macro photograph by Nathan Larson into the room, focusing entirely on the close-up profile of a horse's eye. Rendered in nuanced monochrome tones ranging from deep charcoal grey to soft highlights, the composition captures the fine texture of the coat and the gentle curve of individual eyelashes. The large scale of the photographic motif creates a calm, contemplative focal point on the wall while maintaining a clean, minimalist character. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a large photographic close-up, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home study. In a living room, placing the design on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the full scale of the eye and the surrounding tonal gradients to be appreciated without interruption. In a bedroom, positioning the mural wallpaper behind the bedhead anchors the room with a grounded, quiet presence. It also works beautifully along an entryway or hallway wall, where the dramatic scale creates an immediate sense of intrigue as you move through the space.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer to let the photographic composition carry the primary visual interest by keeping the surrounding interior restrained and contemporary.

• Pair with clean-lined furniture in darker woods or charcoal-stained timber to echo the deep tonal depth in the photograph.
• Incorporate matte black metal architectural lighting or hardware to accentuate the modernist, graphic structure of the black and white palette.
• Introduce soft, unpatterned textiles in muted slate, off-white, or heather grey to maintain visual softness around the bed or seating area.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on a refined monochrome palette of charcoal grey, soft mid-tone greys, and deep black, lifted by gentle white light reflections. Around it, we suggest using off-white, chalky grey, or pale greige on adjacent walls to provide a clean, balanced contrast that does not compete with the photographic tones. If you want a moodier, more immersive atmosphere in a study or den, painting surrounding woodwork and doors in a deep charcoal or graphite grey seamlessly ties into the darker shadows of the image.
