Wallpaper - A Horse Called Utah Sepia

Captured by Nathan Larson, our A Horse Called Utah Sepia wallpaper brings a striking photographic portrait to the wall. The composition centres on a close-up profile of a horse, where a windswept, flowing mane and steady gaze create a sense of quiet motion and grounded presence. Rendered in rich sepia and earthy dark chocolate tones, the tonal gradations highlight fine textures across the coat and strands of hair against a soft, muted backdrop. Produced as custom made-to-measure murals, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that complements detailed photographic work while remaining straightforward to install.

In the room

With its large-scale portrait and focused composition, we find this wall mural works exceptionally well as a grounding feature wall. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing it along a main uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping movement of the mane and the depth of the photographic details to be appreciated in full. Because the subject has a distinct directional gaze and generous visual weight, we like positioning it behind a sofa, a low desk, or along a reading wall where furniture will not cut across the central focus of the horse's face. The rich sepia tones also make it a natural fit for a library or home office, where an earthy, heritage-inspired atmosphere feels right at home.

Styling it

To balance the scale of the portrait, we suggest pairing this mural wallpaper with grounded furniture that shares its warm, traditional character. Upholstery in warm leather, aged cognac, or muted wool felt complements the rustic Americana feel without competing for attention. When selecting wood finishes, deeper tones like stained oak or warm walnut echo the dark chocolate undertones in the photograph, keeping the overall room cohesive. We would avoid overly high-gloss surfaces or complex geometric patterns nearby, letting the organic textures of the photographic print take the lead.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by its warm sepia monochrome palette, ranging from deep dark chocolate browns to softer, earthy mid-tones. For surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest warm off-whites, parchment, or muted taupes that pick up the lighter background nuances without creating a jarring starkness. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, rich espresso, warm charcoal, or deep olive-tinted browns on adjacent trim and cabinetry will frame the mural and deepen its vintage character.
