FROSTLIGHT HERD - white horses running in a winter forest mural

A large white horse with a full mane runs right beside the viewer, and a chestnut foal keeps close to it. Warm, diffused light between the birches softens the winter chill: the wall gets white, blue and a touch of apricot brown, and the room gets a movement that flows in one direction, towards the right edge.

What does the design show?

FROSTLIGHT HERD shows six horses. The largest, a white one, has its head right of centre, in the upper part of the image, turned in profile to the right; its mane falls in waves over the neck. In the middle runs a light chestnut foal with a white blaze on its forehead and a darker, short mane. On the left you see three white horses: two look straight at you, the third turns its head to the right, and the first from the left vanishes into blue shadow. A sixth horse, also white, runs by the right edge. On the left stand the trunks of birches, and in the upper right corner the forest brightens to a warm cream. At the bottom lies snow, with rust-coloured blades of grass in the left corner. The brushstrokes are soft and broad. On a wall 260 cm high with a full crop (about 465 cm wide), the white horse measures about 210 cm from the ears to the hooves and the foal about 165 cm. The heads fall between roughly 130 and 235 cm above the floor.

How can you tell it from the other herds in the forest?

You can tell this design from BIRCH RUN and FIRST SNOW, the other two herds among birches, by its whiteness: here almost all the horses are white, and the only warmer accent is the foal. The direction is different too. The herd does not rush straight at the viewer but passes by at an angle, to the right.

Which interior does it suit?

In an entrance hall the design is visible from the threshold: the horses run along the wall as if leading deeper into the house. Put a low bench or chest against the wall; furniture up to about 60 cm high will hide only the snow and the hooves. In a dining room with an oval table of bleached oak and chairs in light blue linen, the chair backs reach the horses' chests at most. Avoid a pendant lamp hanging low right by the wall, because seen from the entrance it would cover the white horse's head. In a bedroom choose a bed with a low headboard: with a headboard up to about 100 cm all the heads stay uncovered.

How do you choose the size and material?

One image, printed to the size of your wall: that is how this wall mural of white horses at a gallop is made. In the “Calculate price and order” configurator on the product page you enter the dimensions, choose the material and move the crop. At a height of 260 cm, a wall about 320 cm wide takes in the most important group, that is the foal, the large white horse and the horse by the right edge, and beside them the white horse with its head turned to the right; the two horses on the left and the birches then fall outside the crop.

Mura Vinyl Canvas (a natural canvas texture, the most versatile) and Mura Vinyl Intonaco (textured, with a trowelled plaster texture) are the two main materials. The canvas weave emphasises the broad strokes on the manes, and trowelled plaster brings the design closer to a wall painting. As an alternative you have Mura Vinyl Sabbia, a material with a distinct coarse sand grain texture that is neither smooth nor satin, and Mura Natur: an ecological, matt non-woven, odourless and hypoallergenic.

How do you buy with confidence?

White on a large wall takes on the colour of its surroundings: next to warm wood it warms up, and against a grey floor it cools. You will see this when you order a sample. It is a print of about 90 × 50 cm on one or two materials, which you order from the product page and we send within 1–3 working days; on it you judge the colours and the texture of the material in your own light. To see how the herd sits above your furniture, make an AI visualisation on a photo of your own room on the product page – you prepare it yourself. On request we will also prepare a studio visualisation, within 1–2 working days, and the studio will adapt the composition, colours and crop to your interior. We usually complete orders in 3–7 working days. We ship free within Poland and Europe; for other countries the rate from the basket applies. We arrange installation across Europe on request, after an individual quote.

We have gathered all the images of horses, from portraits to herds, in the Horses collection. If you are furnishing a room for sleeping, also take a look at the section wall murals and wallpapers for the bedroom.
