Wallpaper - Beside You

Our Beside You wallpaper, created by Julia Purinton, captures a tender countryside moment between two resting donkeys. Painted in rich, painterly brushwork, the composition pairs a larger brown donkey gently resting its head against a smaller donkey nestled close against it. A soft, impressionistic background of muted olive greens, pale grassy tones, and cloudy skies frames the animals with quiet warmth. Custom made to measure for your exact dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers are designed to bring expressive art directly to your walls while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as an accent wall where the emotional focus of the artwork can take centre stage. In a living room, bedroom, or nursery, placing the mural on an uninterrupted wall allows the full scale of the donkeys' portrait to be appreciated without visual competition. Because the background is soft and uncluttered, the wallpaper brings visual depth without overwhelming smaller spaces like a reading nook, child's bedroom, or guest room.

Styling it

The painterly texture and rural subject matter naturally complement farmhouse, cottage, and rustic interior styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded to let the artwork breathe:

• Pair with warm, natural wood finishes such as reclaimed pine, warm oak, or weathered timber that echo the rustic feel of the painted scene.
• Choose soft, tactile textiles like unbleached cotton, washed wool throws, or plain woven upholstery in muted neutral tones.
• Avoid busy geometric patterns nearby, letting the painted brushstrokes serve as the primary visual texture in the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a grounded palette of rich chestnut brown, taupe, soft cream, and olive green, set against a quiet pale backdrop. When decorating around it, we recommend drawing out the lighter cream tones for adjacent walls or woodwork to keep the room bright and open. Alternatively, styling with warm taupe, muted sage, or deep earthy accents helps ground the palette and ties in with the darker tones of the donkeys' coats.
