Wallpaper - Espresso

Our Espresso wallpaper brings together a warm screenprint aesthetic with a distinctly 1960s retro character. Designed by Michael Clark, the artwork centers on a bright coffee cup resting on a saucer, set against layers of rich coffee brown tones and flowing cream script in the background. The graphic composition captures the relaxed, familiar atmosphere of classic mid-century café culture while maintaining a grounded, bold presence. We produce this design as made-to-measure mural wallpapers printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an engaging visual focal point for a kitchen or dining area.

In the room

Because of its bold graphic character and distinct central motif, we see this design working especially well as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining room, or breakfast nook. In a dining space, placing the design on the primary wall behind a dining table gives the screenprint-inspired composition space to stand out without competing with too many tall cabinets. In a kitchen or pantry area, it brings warmth and personality to smaller wall sections or open dining alcoves. The rich coffee tones feel particularly inviting under warm evening light, which accentuates the depth in the background typography.

Styling it

To complement the retro personality of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple mid-century or vintage-inspired furnishings.

• Warm wood furniture, such as a teak or warm oak dining table, naturally echoes the earthy coffee browns in the print.
• Keep surrounding tableware and lighting relatively clean in form, allowing the graphic typography and cup illustration to remain the primary visual focus.
• Matte black, brushed bronze, or muted ceramic accents help ground the space and tie in with the mid-century diner aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around rich coffee browns, warm creams, and brighter accent tones in the cup motif. When decorating the surrounding space, warm off-whites, buttermilk creams, and muted beige tones work seamlessly on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to lean into a richer look, deeper espresso shades, terracotta, or warm caramel tones on surrounding cabinetry or seating complement the background layers of the artwork.
