Wallpaper - Southern Pride Best BBQ Panel

Our Southern Pride Best BBQ Panel wallpaper, designed by Michael Mullan, brings bold vintage signage and classic Americana character straight to the wall. The composition centres around a dark silhouette of a pig framed by striking red and gold typography reading "WORLD'S BEST BBQ", balanced by distressed stars, gold scrollwork flourishes, and weathered red-and-white stripes below with the phrase "IT'S A SOUTHERN THING". A weathered, screenprint-inspired finish softens the high-contrast palette of cherry red, warm gold, charcoal, and aged white, giving the piece a grounded, graphic presence. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an authentic accent wall that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and poster-style panel format, we see this design working best as a dedicated focal point rather than across all four walls. In a dining room or an open-plan kitchen, placing it on an uninterrupted wall behind a dining table or breakfast nook immediately establishes a warm, informal gathering spot. It also feels right at home in a casual entertaining area, a vacation home, or a rustic cabin kitchen. Because the artwork features distinct typography and defined top-to-bottom sections, giving it a wall that is not overly broken up by doors or tall storage lets the full sign composition be appreciated as intended.

Styling it

To let the bold sign design lead the space, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture straightforward and unpretentious.

• Pair with warm, dark or rustic wood dining tables and painted black wooden chairs to echo the dark silhouettes and vintage diner aesthetic of the print.
• Use matte black metal hardware or industrial-style pendant lighting above the dining area to complement the strong graphic lines without competing with the red and gold tones.
• Keep surrounding walls and large surfaces in quiet, solid neutrals so the central panel retains clear visual priority.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines vivid cherry red and rich gold lettering with deep charcoal gray, black, and creamy white details against a distressed ground. When painting adjacent walls or trim, off-white, warm cream, or soft parchment tones create a natural transition that flatters the aged paper look of the artwork. If you prefer a moodier atmosphere, pulling the deep charcoal from the pig silhouette onto surrounding walls or lower wainscoting will make the red and gold typography pop with added depth.
