Wallpaper - Canned Sardines

Our Canned Sardines wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings bold retro pop-art energy into the home with a vintage-inspired food tin motif. Set against a vibrant coral-orange background, the graphic blue tin features a red label with three stylized fish and bold lettering. The screenprint-inspired look, strong outlines, and playful 1960s character give the design an immediate, graphic presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this wallpaper makes a striking focal point for lively dining areas and kitchens.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining room, or walk-in pantry. Because the motif is large, graphic, and visually bold, it benefits from an open wall where the central illustration can be seen from a comfortable distance. Placing it behind a dining table or along a breakfast nook gives the room a lively, conversational backdrop. In a vacation home or a coastal cottage, the playful seafood theme brings a warm, relaxed mood to shared eating spaces.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork stand out, we would keep surrounding furniture clean-lined and relatively unfussy. Mid-century dining chairs, painted white or warm wood tables, and simple shelving pair naturally with the 1960s illustration style.

Simple lighting with matte finishes helps anchor the vivid colors without competing for visual attention. For decorative accents, consider incorporating plain ceramics or clean glassware that pick up the blue and coral tones from the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a high-contrast palette of bright coral orange, cobalt blue, crisp white, and red accents. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and trim, softer neutrals like off-white, light warm gray, or gentle cream allow the wallpaper to remain the main color feature. If you want a more cohesive, vibrant interior, bringing small touches of matching cobalt blue or warm terracotta into dining chairs, pendant cords, or tableware ties the whole room together.
