Wallpaper - Time to Cook

Our Time to Cook wallpaper brings together a rustic still life of wooden cutting boards, a bowl of fresh lemons, and a potted olive plant in soft, painterly brushstrokes. Created by Julia Purinton, the design balances warm light brown and earthy tones with subtle botanical greens and gentle yellow accents. The painted texture and tranquil composition make it a distinctive choice for culinary spaces. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and PVC-free with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We love seeing this design anchored in a kitchen or a relaxed dining room. Because the composition relies on the horizontal baseline of a tabletop and distinct vertical shapes, it works exceptionally well on an accent wall behind a dining table, a kitchen island, or an open dining nook. The scale of the boards and foliage has a grounded presence, so giving the mural wallpapers an uninterrupted wall allows the still-life arrangement to sit naturally at eye level. In dining spaces with plenty of soft daylight, the gentle contrast between the warm wood tones and the pale, textured background adds warmth without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To complement the French country character of the motif, we suggest pairing it with honest, tactile materials and understated silhouettes:

• Pair with rustic or lightly weathered dining furniture, such as a natural wood dining table or painted bistro chairs that reflect the soft earthy palette of the boards.
• Keep nearby kitchenware simple and purposeful, using unglazed stoneware, ceramic pitchers, or ironstone bowls that echo the shapes in the artwork.
• Introduce natural linen tablecloths, runners, or tea towels in warm oatmeal or off-white tones to enhance the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a base of warm light brown, biscuit, and soft grey-white, lifted by the muted green of the olive leaves, deep charcoal in the pot, and sunny lemon yellow. When choosing paint for surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend staying within this natural spectrum. Soft warm stone, linen, or muted chalky whites keep the room light and cohesive. If you want to introduce a subtle contrasting colour on cabinetry or trim, a muted olive green or an earthy slate grey picks up on the botanical details beautifully.
