Wallpaper - Time to Chop

Our Time to Chop wallpaper by Sue Schlabach captures a warm, painterly still life of rustic wooden cutting boards, a tall ceramic pitcher, a small patterned bowl, and bright yellow lemons. Painted with visible brushwork and layered earthy tones, the composition balances round and rectangular boards in natural light brown and deeper wood shades against a softly textured neutral background. The pop of citrus yellow and pale enamel blue brings fresh energy to the calm, traditional subject matter. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, this design adds inviting warmth and artisanal character to a dining or kitchen wall.

In the room

We see this wall mural working naturally as a focal feature in an eat-in kitchen or dining room. Because the composition is arranged like an intimate still-life painting, it benefits from a wall where the lower half is not completely obscured by tall cabinetry or bulky furniture. Placing it above low shelving, a kitchen counter run, or along a dining nook wall allows the grouped cutting boards and ceramic vessels to sit comfortably at eye level. In an open-plan kitchen and dining space, our mural wallpaper helps define the eating area with a cozy, heritage-inspired mood without overwhelming the rest of the room.

Styling it

To complement the farmhouse aesthetic of the artwork, we like pairing this wallpaper with simple, understated furnishings. The painterly style invites natural textures such as open shelving, woven barstools, or a traditional wooden dining table. Keep surrounding wall decor minimal so the central composition remains the clear visual focus of the space. Under warm evening lighting, the yellow citrus accents and rich brown tones of the boards feel especially cozy.

Color combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of warm light brown, rich wood brown, pale sky blue, off-white, and bright lemon yellow. When choosing colors for surrounding walls, trim, or cabinetry, soft creamy whites or warm linen tones mirror the neutral backdrop of the wallpaper. If you prefer more contrast, deep timber finishes or muted pale blue cabinetry will echo the pitcher and bowl details within the design.
