Wallpaper - Espresso

Our Espresso wallpaper by Kathrine Lovell brings a lively, retro café feel into the home with an expressive still-life composition. Centered on a bright orange espresso cup dotted with red polka dots and set upon a matching saucer, the design contrasts the deep tones of rich coffee with a richly layered background in brick red, blue, and warm brown. The word "Espresso" rendered in flowing orange script adds a playful pop-art note to the painted textures and subtle paisley elements. Printed to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this wall mural makes an energetic visual statement.

In the room

We love this design as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining area, or home office where its warm palette and graphic personality can set the tone for the space. In an open-plan kitchen or dining room, positioning the mural along a breakfast nook or behind a dining table immediately creates an inviting, café-inspired focal point. Because the composition features a prominent central motif framed by layered geometric and artistic patterns, we suggest giving it an open wall section where the cup and typography are not hidden behind tall cabinetry or high furniture.

Styling it

The 1970s revival feel and bold palette give you plenty of character to work with. To keep the space feeling intentional, we would balance the strong artwork with clean-lined furniture and warm natural elements.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as a teak or warm oak dining table, which naturally complements the brown and brick-red undertones in the print.
• Use simple, solid-toned ceramics or kitchenware in deep blue or matte terracotta to echo the background layers without cluttering the visual field.
• Keep surrounding lighting warm and focused, using a low-hanging pendant light over the table to highlight the painted textures in the evening.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a warm palette of brick red, vibrant orange, deep coffee brown, and touches of contrasting blue. When choosing paint for adjoining walls or cabinetry, soft off-whites with a warm undertone or muted terracotta shades let the rich reds of the wallpaper stand out naturally. For a slightly bolder contrast that draws out the cooler background accents, a subdued slate blue on adjacent trim or lower cabinets creates a balanced, cohesive look.
