Wallpaper - Sardine Tin I

Our Sardine Tin I wallpaper brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall with an illustrated open tin of fish by artist Farida Zaman. Set against a clean pink grid background, the motif features stylized sardines in vivid shades of blue, orange, and green with bright yellow accents. A vintage-inspired label reading "SARDINES in OLIVE OIL" and "wild caught" anchors the design with retro charm, while the watercolor-like painted drawing technique lends the bold lines a soft, artistic feel. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design makes an expressive statement as an accent wall or across a dedicated dining nook.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a kitchen or an informal breakfast space where its quirky, food-inspired subject feels right at home. Because the open tin is a striking focal point, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the playful typography and colorful fish to be appreciated without distraction. It also sits comfortably on a feature wall behind a compact dining table or open kitchen shelving, bringing a vibrant, conversational element to the cooking and dining area.

Styling it

The graphic quality and eclectic maximalist spirit of this design pair naturally with contemporary furniture that carries simple, clean lines. We would balance the energetic pattern by surrounding it with painted cabinets or dining chairs in solid finishes rather than competing patterns. Warm wooden surfaces, like a natural kitchen tabletop or floating shelves, help ground the bright primary and secondary colors in the illustration, while crisp ceramic tableware keeps the overall look fresh and intentional.

Colour combinations

The motif centers around a soft baby pink grid background layered with rich cobalt blue, vibrant tangerine orange, leafy green, and touches of sunny yellow and vintage red. When choosing surrounding paint and decor, we recommend pulling directly from the illustration. Soft pinks or clean warm whites on adjacent walls create a cohesive backdrop, while bolder accents in deep blue or terracotta on nearby trim, shelving, or bar stools can highlight the colorful details within the tin.
