Wallpaper - Gallop

Our Gallop wallpaper, designed by Anne Tavoletti, captures a horse mid-stride in an expressive watercolor-inspired style. Rich shades of sienna, warm brown, and soft beige build the animal's powerful form, while visible brushwork and ink-like lines give the flowing mane and tail a sense of open movement. Light painterly splashes and delicate green strokes along the base anchor the figure against an airy, textured off-white ground. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free wallpaper with a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the painted artwork.

In the room

Because the motif features a single, directional subject in full motion, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted focal wall where the complete horse has room to breathe. In a living room, positioning the wallpaper along the main seating wall or opposite the entryway allows the horizontal sweep of the design to set the tone for the entire space. It also feels right at home in a dedicated study or an art studio, where the expressive, hand-drawn character brings energy without overwhelming the room.

The generous off-white background keeps the overall visual weight balanced, meaning you can easily use it in smaller studies as well as expansive open-plan living areas. To let the dynamic silhouette make its full impression, we recommend keeping taller shelving and high-backed furniture off the center of the wall so the horse's head, mane, and trailing hooves remain completely visible.

Styling it

The classical equestrian theme naturally suits traditional, heritage, and country-inspired interiors. To build around the artwork's organic character, we suggest pairing it with warm wood furniture, such as antique cherry, rich walnut, or aged oak, which echo the deeper sienna tones in the horse's coat. Keeping the surrounding upholstery relatively calm in neutral woven fabrics lets the movement in the mural wallpapers remain the undisputed centerpiece of the room.

For accents, subtle brass hardware or dark bronze lighting fixtures harmonize with the historic, nineteenth-century feel of the composition. If you are decorating a study, a classic leather desk chair and low open bookcases alongside the wall create a grounded, considered atmosphere.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers on an earthy palette of deep sienna, chestnut brown, and warm beige, offset by hints of grassy green and an off-white backdrop. For adjacent walls and painted millwork, soft warm whites, muted taupe, or creamy stone shades will continue the open feeling of the background.

If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, drawing out the darker sienna or a deep chestnut for doors, wainscoting, or trim creates a beautiful, intentional frame around the mural. Muted olive or moss green accents in decorative pieces or nearby textiles can also subtly pull out the green brushstrokes along the base.
