The Art of Colour Selection
Let’s be honest: choosing the perfect colour or wallpaper can sometimes feel like navigating a maze.

My mission is to guide you through this, offering a handpicked selection of shades and designs that truly resonate with you.
Weekly Wallpaper Spotlight
Each week, I shine a light on a standout colour or wallpaper that’s caught my eye. This week, a timeless classic has taken center stage: Tally Ho (Pearl/Grey) by Sanderson.
Why Tally Ho (Pearl/Grey) Stands Out
Sanderson, a prestigious UK-based wallpaper and fabric brand, has been gracing our walls with exquisite designs since 1860. Their rich history and dedication to quality shine through in every piece they create. One of their standout prints is Tally Ho, a pattern that’s as much a work of art as it is a wallpaper.
The Pearl/Grey colourway from Sanderson’s ‘One Sixty’ collection is particularly captivating. Tally Ho is a nostalgic nod to an 18th-century English hunting scene, originally printed in 1948. Featuring men in top hats, majestic horses, hunting dogs, and picturesque country houses—this wallpaper brings a slice of history right into your home.
The Pearl/Grey tones are soft, warm, and incredibly versatile, making it an excellent choice for those looking to experiment with bolder patterns but are worried about it overtaking a space. The soft pearl, grey and taupe tones are gentle and warm, allowing you to spend time taking in the paper and spotting something new with each look.
And if you’re as smitten with this pattern as I am, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s also available in fabric, perfect for creating a cohesive look.
Perfect Pairings for Tally Ho (Pearl/Grey)
Choosing a statement wallpaper is just the beginning; the real fun lies in finding the perfect colours to complement it. Here are two shades that pair beautifully with Tally Ho (Pearl/Grey):
Jitney 293 by Farrow & Ball: An earthy, warm taupe with a subtle red undertone, Jitney adds gentle depth without overwhelming the space. It enhances the warmer tones in the wallpaper, creating a soft backdrop that allows Tally Ho to truly shine.
Moles Breath 276 by Farrow & Ball: For those ready to commit to a full room of Tally Ho, Moles Breath is a fantastic choice. This deep grey with a brown undertone is perfect for woodwork, skirtings, and doors, adding a dramatic flair without darkening the room. It frames the wallpaper beautifully, making the entire space feel cohesive and thoughtfully designed.
