Wallpaper - Dartmoor Ponies II

Captured by photographer Deborah Revell, our Dartmoor Ponies II wallpaper brings a serene rural scene indoors through photographic animal portraiture. Three dark ponies stand quietly across a grassy moorland setting, their thick, shaggy coats rendered with fine tonal definition against a softly blurred natural backdrop. The earthy palette centers on deep brown and saddle brown tones, creating an organic warmth across the composition. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an authentic sense of the countryside to feature walls in a living room, study, or home library.

In the room

We find this photographic mural works particularly well as a focal point in a living room, study, or private reading room. Because the composition relies on the interplay between the resting ponies in the foreground and the soft depth of field behind them, giving our wall murals an uninterrupted expanse allows the full visual landscape to unfold naturally. On a main wall behind a sofa or along a quiet library wall, the horizontal grounding of the grassy field anchors the room while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the photographic composition, we suggest balancing the wall with pared-back interior elements rather than competing visual patterns:

• Pair the earthy brown tones of the ponies with warm, natural materials such as weathered timber or muted leather seating to echo the organic character of the scene.
• Keep surrounding textiles in neutral, unpatterned weaves to ensure the detailed photography remains the focal point of the space.
• Position lower furniture against the wall so the forms of the grazing ponies remain clear and visible across the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features an organic palette grounded in saddle brown, rich earthy brown, and softened landscape tones. To build a cohesive interior, we recommend pairing adjacent walls with warm stone, pale chalky neutrals, or muted clay tones. These softer shades complement the deeper brown values of the coats without darkening the surrounding space. If you want to introduce deeper accents through painted woodwork or cabinetry, muted charcoal or deep umber works naturally alongside the dark tones of the ponies.
