Wallpaper - Best Buds

Our Best Buds wallpaper captures a quiet moment between two dark horses standing side by side against an open, textured field. Photographed by Nathan Larson, the composition centers on the close companionship of the two animals, their sleek dark coats highlighted by natural sunlight while a softly blurred background keeps the full emphasis on their form. The palette balances deep charcoal gray, earthy brown, and neutral highlights, creating a grounded visual presence that feels both natural and composed. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an authentic equestrian atmosphere to any interior.

In the room

Because the photographic subject has such a clear focal point, we like using this wall mural on a main feature wall where the full width of the horses and the open landscape can be seen without heavy visual breaks. In a living room, placing it behind a sofa gives the space an immediate grounding element. In a study, home office, or library, the calm stance of the horses and the muted neutral tones create an atmosphere that feels settled and quiet without being dark.

The scale of the photograph also makes it an engaging choice for a spacious bedroom behind the headboard or along an open hallway, where the horizontal composition can guide the eye naturally down the wall. For larger rooms with higher ceilings, the soft field background provides enough visual breathing room so the wall mural feels expansive rather than crowded.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer drawing on its natural outdoor character and classic equestrian feel.

• Pair the deep charcoal and brown tones with warm, natural wood furniture such as oak or walnut to complement the earthy landscape.
• Choose tailored upholstered seating in neutral wool, linen, or muted leather to keep the overall look refined and balanced.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, allowing the photographic mural wallpaper to remain the primary visual focus in the space.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around charcoal gray, rich black, deep earth brown, and warm neutral tones from the sunlit field. To create a cohesive palette throughout the room, we suggest pulling from these neutral elements for surrounding walls and woodwork. Off-whites, warm stony grays, and soft taupe on adjacent surfaces will echo the muted background. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, deep charcoal or warm espresso tones on trim and built-in shelving connect seamlessly with the dark coats of the horses.
