Wallpaper - Foxhound

Our Foxhound wallpaper brings the classic 18th-century painting by George Stubbs into the home as a scenic wall mural. The composition centres on an alert hound with white, black, and warm brown markings, standing poised on a grassy bank with its nose to the ground. In the background, deep green trees rise against a soft blue sky touched with pale clouds, while a gentle gleam of water sits quietly to the side. The oil-painted visual character gives the scene an unmistakable heritage feel, balancing pastoral stillness with natural movement. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where traditional artwork feels at home, such as a dedicated study, a library, a dining room, or a classic living room. Because the subject is placed within a broader landscape, we would give the mural a relatively wide and uninterrupted wall so the full countryside view has space to breathe. In a study or home office, positioning the mural along a main feature wall behind a desk or low shelving allows the dog and open skyline to remain prominent without feeling crowded. The balanced earthy palette also makes it a natural fit for a dining room wall, where the depth of the dark trees creates a grounded backdrop around the table.

Styling it

To complement the traditional heritage style of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with furnishings that have visual substance and historical character.

• Ground the room with warm or darker wood tones, such as antique mahogany, dark oak, or walnut, which echo the deep forest shades and rich brown markings in the painting.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and large fabrics quiet, choosing classic woven textures in muted stone, oatmeal, or forest green rather than competing patterns.
• Incorporate understated metal accents, like aged brass or antique bronze, across lighting or hardware to harmonise with the classic 18th-century aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The design is built around an authentic earthy palette of deep forest greens, grassy tones, warm browns, and the crisp white of the hound's coat, all set against soft sky blue and pale cloud tones. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, we suggest drawing out the lighter shades with muted off-whites, warm stone, or pale parchment. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or library, deep heritage green or a dark woodland brown on surrounding joinery creates a cohesive and immersive setting around the wallpaper.
