Wallpaper - Out to Dry

Our Out to Dry wallpaper captures a quiet, pastoral moment painted by artist Julia Purinton. Strung between two weathered wooden posts, white linens and red-striped textiles catch the breeze across an open grassy foreground, grounded by a wicker basket and a classic wash tub below. Behind the clothesline, lush green trees and a soft, partly cloudy sky create an expansive rural backdrop with the visual character of traditional oil painting. We make our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, giving this scenic motif a gentle, grounded presence in the home.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper functions as a complete landscape painting, we see it working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon line and pastoral depth have space to unfold. In a laundry room or utility space, the motif introduces charming thematic character while keeping the visual atmosphere peaceful and light. It also feels right at home across an open wall in a vacation home, cottage, or lake house, where the horizontal composition naturally anchors a seating area or an open entryway. If you are placing furniture against the wall, we suggest lower pieces, such as a low bench or console table, so the foreground details and the laundry line remain clearly visible.

Styling it

The painterly warmth and 19th-century feel of this design make it an effortless match for traditional, cottage, and country-inspired interiors.

• Keep surrounding furniture simple and unpretentious, choosing painted wood finishes, rustic pine, or vintage pieces that complement the nostalgic countryside theme.
• Introduce natural woven materials like rattan or woven wicker baskets nearby, echoing the woven basket depicted in the foreground of the painting.
• Pair the scene with unbleached cotton or simple off-white window treatments that harmonise with the hanging linens without competing with the landscape.

Color combinations

The artwork is built on an earthy palette of soft foliage greens, sky blues, and muted grassy tones, accented by eggshell whites and subtle touches of red along the striped textiles. For adjacent painted walls and trim, warm eggshell or creamy off-white shades create a seamless transition that lets the landscape carry the color. Soft sage greens drawn from the tree line also work well on nearby cabinetry or woodwork, while small accents in warm rust or barn red can subtly pick up the red striping on the laundry line.
