Wallpaper - Which Way

Photographer Jim Dratfield brings together quiet humor and vintage warmth in our Which Way wallpaper. A small, curious pug walks against the direction of a classic "ONE WAY" sign, set against a rustic wooden wall draped in lush ivy. Rendered in soft sepia, taupe, warm brown, and muted leafy tones, the photographic composition has a nostalgic, storytelling quality that immediately draws the eye. Printed custom to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inviting and distinctly personal character for living rooms, hallways, and creative home workspaces.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a clear photographic narrative, we like placing this design where its focal points can be easily seen. In a living room or a den, positioning the wallpaper on a main feature wall behind lower seating ensures the walking pug and vintage street sign remain fully visible. In a hallway or along an entryway staircase, the directional humor of the sign creates an engaging visual rhythm as people move through the space. The sepia and neutral brown palette also sits comfortably in a home office or teenage room, adding personality without overwhelming the room with aggressive visual contrast.

Styling it

We recommend letting the warm, photographic nature of this wall mural guide your surrounding decor. Retro-inspired elements from the 1970s revival aesthetic, such as low-profile furniture and warm-toned woods, naturally echo the vintage atmosphere of the scene.

To keep the balance right around the wall, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, tailored upholstery in cream or soft taupe. Adding a few live indoor plants nearby creates a subtle visual connection with the climbing ivy in the photograph, while matte black or dark bronze hardware subtly grounds the vintage street sign motif.

Color combinations

Our Which Way wallpaper is grounded in a cohesive palette of sepia, earthy brown, warm taupe, and soft muted greens. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, creamy linen tones, and gentle greige keep the surrounding space bright while letting the darker tones in the photograph stand out. For trim, cabinetry, or accent furniture, deeper charcoal, rich espresso, or olive green pick up on the foliage and shadow details in the print to create a grounded, pulled-together interior.
