Wallpaper - Time to Cook

Our Time to Cook wallpaper, created by artist Julia Purinton, captures a warm, rustic still life inspired by heritage culinary traditions. The composition gathers natural wooden cutting boards, a bowl of fresh lemons, and a potted olive plant across a tabletop, painted with soft, painterly brushwork and subtle textured tones. Earthy browns, light wooden hues, muted greens, and gentle yellow accents set a calm, grounded mood. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings an honest, artisanal presence to culinary and dining spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a kitchen or a relaxed dining room where you want to create an inviting focal wall. Because the artwork is arranged along a clear horizontal tabletop plane with generous, airy space above, it anchors naturally behind a dining table, a low sideboard, or along an open kitchen wall. The large, deliberate shapes of the cutting boards and potted plant give the motif an architectural presence that holds its own across a wider uninterrupted wall, providing visual warmth without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

The heritage feel and painterly character of our wallpaper lend themselves effortlessly to French country, rustic, and relaxed Mediterranean-inspired interiors. We would pair this design with simple, tactile elements:

• Keep surrounding furniture grounded with unlacquered, warm wooden surfaces or painted cabinetry in soft, heritage-inspired finishes.
• Choose natural woven linen for tablecloths or seat cushions to mirror the organic, understated simplicity of the still life.
• Accent the room with terracotta pots, unglazed stoneware ceramics, or muted dark metals that echo the olive planter in the artwork.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws from an earthy palette of warm light brown, weathered timber tones, muted olive green, and soft lemon yellow, all balanced against a quiet, pale background. Around the mural, we suggest working with warm neutral wall paints such as creamy off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit shades. If you prefer deeper contrast in surrounding joinery or adjacent walls, gentle olive tones or rich, warm ochres will draw out the natural shades in the foliage and fruit.
