Film noir never cast enough dogs, which was its loss. Good Boy Noir corrects the record: a vintage dog portrait wallpaper in rich, inky charcoal tones, moody and nostalgic, carrying the unmistakable gravitas of a very good boy who has seen things.

The design

Vintage-style dog portraits in deep inky tones, with retro detailing and a shadowed, nostalgic look. The inky ground swallows the edges, so each portrait emerges the way faces do in old cinema, lit from one side and sure of the other. At a distance the wall reads as a dark tone with presence, and the dogs reveal themselves as you approach. Up close the retro detailing gives every portrait its own character, and every character its own backstory.

Works best in

Powder rooms, hallways, home offices, dens, kitchens, kids rooms with a sense of humor, and pet-friendly living rooms where the sofa was surrendered long ago.

Style notes

Film noir by way of the dog park, played completely straight. It pairs with black metal, smoked oak, aged leather, and a record player that gets used. In a den it deepens the evening, and in a powder room it stages the best minute of deadpan in the house. Warm bulbs suit it, since the shadows need somewhere to hide.
