Wallpaper - Horse Sketch on Burlap

Our Horse Sketch on Burlap wallpaper by Avery Tillmon centres on a detailed pencil sketch of a horse's head, set against the visual character of woven, warm beige canvas. The upright ears, expressive eye, and softly rendered mane bring a quiet, lifelike presence to the wall, while fine graphite cross-hatching creates subtle depth across the neutral background. The composition works as a distinguished focal piece with a handcrafted, studio-drawn aesthetic that feels grounded and understated. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We find that this mural wallpaper works particularly well where you want a single, characterful focal point without overwhelming the space. In a living room or study, placing it on a main wall behind a low sofa or desk lets the complete horse profile remain fully visible and uncluttered. The muted beige and grey palette also sits comfortably in an entryway or hallway, where the vertical line of the horse's neck and ears naturally guides the eye upward. In a bedroom or guest room, we like positioning the artwork behind the bed as an alternative to a traditional headboard, giving the room a calm and considered atmosphere.

Styling it

The heritage, equestrian feel of this design pairs naturally with traditional, rustic, and English country interiors. We would balance the sketch work with grounded furnishings, such as dark stained timber or warm antique wood pieces that echo the earthy background tone.

To keep the focus on the artwork, we suggest surrounding it with quiet, textured fabrics like heavy linen or wool upholstery in warm neutrals, avoiding competing wall art on adjacent surfaces.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper uses a restrained palette of warm burlap beige, oat, and charcoal grey pencil tones. To complement these shades, we recommend using soft off-white, warm taupe, or light stone on neighbouring walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce deeper accent colours through painted cabinetry, cushions, or a throw, rich equestrian tones like hunter green, deep chestnut, or muted oxblood create a handsome, traditional contrast against the neutral base.
