Wallpaper - Dartmoor Ponies I

Our Dartmoor Ponies I wallpaper features atmospheric black and white animal photography by Deborah Revell. In the foreground, a dark horse stands with its mane caught softly in the breeze, whilst its companion rests in the grassy field behind. Rolling hills stretch across the horizon, creating an open, rural landscape rendered in smokey grey and soft tonal monochrome. The interplay between the fine detail in the dry grass and the soft depth of the distant hills gives this wall mural a tranquil, grounded character. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinctive way to bring the feel of the countryside into your interior.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in a living room, study, or home library where there is space to appreciate the photographic depth. Because the composition relies on an open landscape with a clear horizon line, placing our design across a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full perspective of the rolling hills to unfold naturally. In a study or reading room, positioning the wallpaper behind a desk or low armchair keeps the standing pony in clear view, lending the room a calm and contemplative atmosphere without feeling visually crowded.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, timeless feel of this black and white photograph, we would lean towards interiors that celebrate natural textures:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as rustic oak or rich mid-toned timber, to balance the cool smokey greys in the print.
• Choose understated upholstered seating in natural wool, woven tweed, or tactile linen in muted neutral shades.
• Keep wall décor minimal on adjacent surfaces so the expansive photographic scene remains the primary visual feature in the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a tonal monochrome palette of deep charcoal, soft smokey grey, and off-white. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and large furnishings, we suggest sticking to warm neutrals such as soft stone, chalky white, or gentle greige to keep the space inviting. Muted earthy tones, such as olive green, dusky clay, or rich umber, also work beautifully alongside the grey tones to reflect the rural character of the grassland setting.
