Wallpaper - Hanging Out

Our Hanging Out wallpaper features a gentle photographic scene by Jim Dratfield, capturing a horse and a shaggy dog leaning companionably over a stable door. Rendered in warm sepia and earthy saddle brown tones, the composition is grounded by the rustic detail of aged brickwork and weathered timber beams. Both animals look straight forward with calm, curious expressions, creating an immediate sense of quiet companionship. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that brings warmth to residential spaces.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a main feature wall where the central composition has room to become the visual anchor. In a cosy living room or a relaxed den, positioning the design across the wall behind a sofa allows the direct gaze of the animals to welcome you into the space. The soft sepia tones keep the photographic motif gentle rather than overpowering, making it equally fitting for a teenage bedroom, a playroom, or a rustic country cabin. Because the key subject sits centrally above the stable door line, keeping lower furniture relatively low ensures the full interaction between the horse and dog remains visible.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, farmhouse character of the photograph, we would pair this wallpaper with relaxed, comfortable furnishings.

• Warm wood furniture, such as natural pine, aged oak, or reclaimed timber, balances the rich saddle browns in the stable beams.
• Soft, layered textiles in cream, unbleached wool, or soft corduroy echo the earthy tones of the animals' coats without introducing competing patterns.
• Muted bronze or matte iron accents on lighting or hardware ground the vintage photographic quality of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette within the wallpaper is built entirely on rich sepia, warm saddle brown, beige, and creamy off-white tones. Around it, we suggest working with soft chalky whites, warm stone, or muted taupe on adjacent walls and woodwork to maintain a calm, tonal flow. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep olive green, muted clay, or warm charcoal on surrounding cabinetry or doors creates a handsome, heritage-inspired backdrop that draws out the deep shadows in the brickwork.
