Wallpaper - Out to Dry

Our Out to Dry wallpaper captures a quiet, pastoral moment painted by Julia Purinton, where laundry hangs between wooden poles and sways softly against a backdrop of leafy green trees. White and red-striped linens bring a touch of gentle pattern to the composition, while a wicker basket and red wash tub rest on the grassy ground beneath a soft, cloud-dusted sky. Rendered with an oil-painted look, the scene combines earthy greens and warm neutrals with clean eggshell whites, creating an inviting, rustic landscape. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers are easy to hang and bring nostalgic warmth to any wall.

In the room

In a laundry room, utility area or country-style kitchen, this landscape design adds immediate narrative charm and a sense of open-air calm. We find it works particularly well on an accent wall behind open shelving, a boot bench or a freestanding table, where the lower details like the basket and grassy foreground stay grounded in the room. In a holiday home, lake house or guest bedroom, giving our wall murals an uninterrupted wall allows the full breadth of the tree canopy and open sky to establish a relaxed, tranquil atmosphere without feeling visually crowded.

Styling it

The painterly, nineteenth-century pastoral character pairs naturally with cottage, country and traditional interiors. We like keeping the surrounding furnishings simple and grounded, drawing on traditional textures:

• Choose painted timber furniture in warm off-white, muted sage or deep barn red to echo the colours found in the laundry and wash tub.
• Incorporate natural wicker baskets, woven storage or rustic pottery that mirror the visual details painted along the base of the design.
• Keep surrounding woodwork and panelling simple, using clean shaker-style lines that complement rather than compete with the pictorial detail.

Colour combinations

The palette centres on soft eggshell whites, leafy olive and moss greens, earthy meadow tones and subtle accents of muted red. For adjacent walls and painted millwork, we suggest pairing our design with warm off-whites, creamy stone tones or soft, muted greens drawn straight from the foliage. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, rich earthy browns or accents in faded rustic red tie directly into the details on the grass, keeping the entire room feeling balanced and cohesive.
