Wallpaper - Paddock DAys

Our Paddock Days wallpaper, created with Nathan Larson, captures an intimate, close-up portrait of a horse in muted, sepia-toned monochrome. What we particularly appreciate in this design is the quiet, weathered character of the image, where soft tonal gradients, delicate vintage-style photographic textures, and gentle contrasts define the horse's gentle expression and distinct white blaze. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with its subtle physical structure, this design brings a serene, grounded visual focus to an interior wall while remaining easy and straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its large-scale photographic composition and strong focal point, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an accent wall where the portrait has room to breathe. In a living room behind a low sofa, a home office, or a bedroom behind the headboard, placing the design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the gentle curve of the horse's neck and head to anchor the entire room. In spaces with soft natural daylight or warm directional lighting, the nuanced shades of charcoal, warm taupe, and soft off-white reveal their depth without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Styling it

To complement the rustic, timeless look of this design, we suggest styling the surrounding space with natural, tactile finishes that echo its grounded tone:

• Combine with warm, natural woods such as oak, reclaimed pine, or walnut to balance the monochrome palette.
• Introduce relaxed textiles like woven wool throws, washed linen drapery, or a jute rug to enhance the quiet, organic feel.
• Keep surrounding furniture lines simple and unadorned, allowing the expressive portrait to serve as the primary focal point of the room.

Color combinations

The wallpaper itself features a delicate palette of warm sepia, soft charcoal, weathered beige, and muted chalk white. When choosing surrounding colors, we recommend pairing it with warm neutral paint tones on adjacent walls, such as creamy oatmeal, soft greige, or warm clay, which naturally extend the sepia undertones. For a slightly bolder contrast, deep charcoal, muted olive, or rich espresso brown on trim or cabinetry create a handsome, tailored backdrop that frames the mural beautifully.
