Wallpaper - We are Ready

Our We are Ready wallpaper brings an endearing, vintage-inspired photographic scene into the home, captured by photographer Jim Dratfield. The composition centers on two fluffy white dogs sitting back to back on a rustic wooden bench with carved legs, tails gently touching as they gaze in opposite directions. Set against a textured stone wall, wooden siding, and a cobblestone ground, the entire photographic mural is rendered in rich sepia and warm umber tones. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on a subtly structured paper surface, our PVC-free design delivers a balanced, nostalgic focal point with plenty of warmth and character.

In the room

Because the photographic subject is centered with strong horizontal and vertical architectural elements, we love using this design where the entire scene can be appreciated at eye level. It makes an inviting addition to an entryway or front foyer, welcoming guests with an immediate sense of warmth and charm. In a hallway or staircase landing, the perspective of the cobblestones and rustic backdrop adds visual depth to transitional spaces. We would keep the wall relatively clear of tall furniture so the interaction between the two dogs remains completely visible.

Styling it

The earthy, sepia-toned palette pairs naturally with traditional and rustic interiors. We would introduce warm, unpainted wood elements like an oak console table, a simple bench, or aged wood trim to echo the wooden bench and siding in the photograph. Keeping surrounding textiles quiet, such as unbleached natural woven fabrics or classic wool runners, allows the photographic details and architectural textures of the scene to remain the primary focus of the room.

Color combinations

The design is built on a foundation of warm sepia, soft umber, earthy browns, and off-white tones. For adjacent walls and trim, we recommend leaning into warm off-whites, creamy stone hues, or muted taupe to create a seamless, cohesive transition. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in dark chocolate brown, deep charcoal, or antique bronze hardware pick up the deeper shadows in the stone wall and wooden siding without clashing with the sepia spectrum.
