Wallpaper - After a Shower

Our After a Shower wallpaper captures a quiet, dynamic moment in classic equestrian photography by Jim Dratfield. A light-coated horse stands in profile, caught mid-motion as droplets of water spray cleanly from its head against a soft background of blurred woodland foliage. Rendered in warm, earthy sepia tones, the photographic composition brings depth and visual warmth to an interior without overwhelming the room with loud contrast. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the scale of the horse and the directional spray of water droplets, we like this design best on a main wall where the entire composition has space to unfold. It works naturally in a living room behind a low-backed sofa or across an uninterrupted wall in a study or home office. The soft, out-of-focus background allows surrounding furniture to sit in front of the lower portion of the wall without interrupting the most compelling elements of the photograph, which sit higher up in the horse's head, mane, and water spray. In a dedicated creative workspace or home art studio, the earthy sepia palette creates an grounded, focused setting that feels classic and timeless.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with natural materials and grounded, understated silhouettes. Warm wood furniture, such as oiled walnut, aged oak, or warm teak, complements the sepia tones in the photograph. Keeping large upholstered pieces in neutral, woven fabrics like natural linen, oatmeal wool, or soft leather lets the photographic mural remain the central visual focus. For lighting, softer warm-toned lamps bring out the golden undertones in the earthy palette, especially in evening light when the contrast between the darker foliage and the horse's lighter coat gently deepens.

Color combinations

The sepia palette of our wallpaper is built around earthy browns, warm tans, creamy whites, and muted forest tones. When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, consider warm off-whites, creamy parchment tones, or soft mushroom grays that pick up the lighter highlights on the horse's coat. For a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or library, deep espresso brown or a dark, earthy olive on neighboring walls or built-in cabinetry balances the darker tonal areas in the background foliage.
