Wallpaper - Going to Town

Our Going to Town wallpaper captures a scenic 19th-century Americana rural landscape, illustrated with the charm and character of traditional folk art. Designed by David Carter Brown, the artwork centers around a prominent leafy tree overlooking rolling green hills, a winding river, and fenced country paths connecting red and white houses under soft, cloudy skies. Painted with an earthy palette of army greens, rich browns, and warm brick reds, this scenic wall mural establishes a grounded, historic narrative across any interior. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design presents a continuous scenic panorama, we see it working particularly well on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full countryside composition can unfold. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a sofa gives the seating area an inviting, picturesque backdrop with plenty of narrative depth. It also feels right at home in a dedicated home office, study, or home library, where the folk-art landscape and warm, earthy greens foster a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

For rooms with generous wall spans, using this design on a single feature wall allows the rolling hills and architectural details to serve as the visual centerpiece without competing with surrounding architectural features. If you are working with higher ceilings, the upward sweep of the central tree and the layered hills create a pleasant sense of vertical balance that naturally carries the eye across the room.

Styling it

The distinct Americana aesthetic and oil-paint style of this mural pair naturally with traditional and heritage-inspired interior styles. We would combine this wallpaper with warm, classic wood furniture, such as antique cherry, walnut, or stained pine, which complements the rustic architecture and earthy tones in the scene.

To keep the focus on the illustrated details, choose upholstery and textiles in understated solid weaves or simple textures rather than competing patterns. Muted linen drapery or a low-pile wool rug in an unbleached neutral provides a comfortable foundation that lets the illustrated countryside remain the star of the space. Under warm ambient lighting in the evening, the reds in the houses and the golden-brown undertones in the landscape take on a cozy, welcoming glow.

Color combinations

The visual palette of this design is anchored by earthy army greens, deep forest tones, warm timber browns, and the characteristic brick reds of the village homes, all set against a soft, muted sky.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls, trim, or built-in cabinetry, look to the softer undertones within the mural. A warm off-white, light oatmeal, or soft parchment shade on the trim keeps the transitions gentle and cohesive. For a more enveloping or traditional library feel, pulling a deep moss green or rich rust red directly from the landscape onto adjacent baseboards, wainscoting, or doors creates an intentional, heritage-inspired color story.
