Wallpaper - Wild Ride I

Our Wild Ride I wallpaper by Nikita Jariwala brings an expressive, painterly study of a rider on horseback to life on a grand scale. We love how the simplified, graphic planes of colour and bold contour lines capture the posture and movement of horse and rider without overwhelming the room. The palette balances warm camel brown, olive greens, and soft teal with cool grey and crisp off-white highlights, set against a subtle, paper-textured background. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a striking focal point with a contemporary, artistic sensibility.

In the room

Because of its painterly composition and confident visual scale, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full figure of the horse and rider can be appreciated without tall obstructions. In a living room or open-plan dining space, placing it on the main wall behind a low-backed sofa, credenza, or dining table gives the artwork space to breathe.

In a spacious bedroom or a dedicated study, the grounded earthy tones create an inviting, contemplative atmosphere. The contrast between warm ochre-browns and cool sage and teal tones responds nicely to shifting daylight, revealing the graphic layering of the brushwork throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the dynamic shapes of the wallpaper take center stage, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and organic textures. Simple mid-century silhouettes or contemporary pieces in warm woods, such as walnut or natural oak, complement the camel and tan sections of the artwork naturally.

For textiles and upholstery, matte finishes in boucle, woven wool, or slubbed cotton in neutral stone, oatmeal, or forest green echo the paper's earthy palette without introducing competing patterns. Accents in blackened steel, brushed bronze, or unglazed ceramics work beautifully alongside the artwork's bold outlines.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around rich earth and foliage tones: warm camel, dusty olive, muted teal, slate grey, and creamy white.

When considering surrounding paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend echoing these grounded shades:

• Soft chalky whites or warm oatmeal to keep the rest of the room airy and light while framing the mural cleanly.
• Muted olive or sage green on trim or surrounding walls to extend the deeper botanical tones of the background.
• Warm sand, tan, or soft charcoal on accent furniture to ground the room and highlight the rider's form.
