Wallpaper - Dry Martini II

Our Dry Martini II wallpaper by Myles Sullivan captures an intimate, cinematic scene rich in 1940s vintage atmosphere. The painterly artwork portrays a woman seated in a classic booth, applying lipstick in a compact mirror beside a martini glass and clutch on a dimly lit tabletop. Deep crimson leather, rich dark tones, and warm amber light create a moody, narrative-driven composition with oil-painting visual depth. Custom-printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this piece brings an expressive, storytelling presence to an accent wall.

In the room

Because Dry Martini II has a distinct scenic composition, we see it working especially well as a dedicated feature wall where the full narrative artwork can be viewed without heavy visual interruption. In an intimate dining room, a home bar area, or a moody living room, placing this wall mural behind a low credenza or seating arrangement keeps the focus on the central figure and atmospheric lighting. A wider, uninterrupted wall gives the rich shadows and painterly brushwork room to establish an inviting, evening mood.

Styling it

We suggest leaning into the vintage character of the artwork with warm, considered elements that echo its atmospheric palette. Deep walnut or dark wood furniture pairs naturally with the shadowy background, while subtle polished brass or warm-toned metals pick up the soft glow of the painted tabletop. Keeping surrounding textiles in tailored, heavier fabrics helps reinforce the classic lounge aesthetic without competing with the figurative subject.

Colour combinations

The artwork centers on rich brick red, deep velvety blacks, and warm amber tones balanced by softer cream highlights on the tabletop and beret. To complement the mural on adjacent walls, consider deep charcoal, warm espresso, or muted burgundy tones for a cohesive, enveloping atmosphere. For a lighter contrast, warm off-white or soft biscuit shades bring out the luminous highlights in the painting while keeping the room balanced.
