Wallpaper - Ride Em

Our Ride Em wallpaper brings a spirited, story-driven character to the wall with its painterly illustrations of cowboys and horses across a light background. Designed by Haley Knighten, the motif pairs energetic linework with soft watercolour washes in rustic brown and warm, earthy tones. The open composition gives the figures room to breathe, creating a lively visual rhythm that works equally well across a feature wall or a wider living space. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inviting, handcrafted aesthetic for characterful interiors.

In the room

In a study, home library, or dedicated home office, we find the narrative charm of this wallpaper adds genuine personality without overwhelming the room. Because the illustrative figures are spaced across a calm, pale backdrop, the repeat sits comfortably behind a desk, a reading armchair, or built-in low bookcases where the individual painted vignettes remain visible.

The design also works wonderfully across private quarters such as a guest room, a rustic bedroom, or a relaxed living room. On an accent wall behind a bed or sofa, the horizontal movement of the horses draws the eye across the space, while in a hallway or entry, the warm brown tones create an instantly welcoming atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the heritage feel and painterly medium of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing this design with warm timber furniture, such as mid-tone oak, walnut, or pine with a natural grain. The organic feel of genuine wood echoes the rustic nature of the motif while grounding the room.

For surrounding textiles, we recommend simple, matte textures in unbleached cotton, heavy wool, or soft leather. Keeping upholstery and cushions understated allows the lively figures in the wallpaper to carry the decorative focus. Understated metal accents, such as antique brass or blackened bronze hardware, provide a clean, traditional contrast to the warm brown watercolour tones.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built on warm earthy browns, soft tan, and muted sepia tones set against an airy, off-white background.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we recommend working with creamy neutrals and soft parchment tones to maintain the light, open feel of the backdrop. For a richer, more enveloping scheme in a study or den, deep chocolate browns, warm caramel, or soft olive greens on adjacent trims and skirtings provide a handsome, tailored complement to the illustrated figures.
