Wallpaper - Vintage Summer I

Our Vintage Summer I wallpaper brings together a sun-drenched coastal scene designed by Leslie Trimbach, capturing the easygoing mood of warm days by the water. The composition pairs a striped beach tote in red, yellow, and green with classic sunglasses, a straw hat, a bright beach ball, and an iced drink garnished with mint and lemon. Palm fronds frame the upper edge of the illustration, looking out across warm sand toward a calm blue sea, all anchored by a warm, popping coral backdrop. The watercolor-inspired rendering gives the elements a soft, painted look while maintaining clear visual definition. Like all our wallpapers, this mural wallpaper is made-to-measure to fit your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because the design features an illustrated scenic layout with framing foliage at the top and beach details anchored along the lower portion, we like seeing this wallpaper on a primary, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a summer house, vacation home, or poolhouse, it creates a dedicated visual focal point where the full story of the illustration remains visible. The lively scale works particularly well behind a low-profile sofa, a daybed, or along an open dining area wall where taller cabinetry will not cut through the central arrangement. In rooms with generous daylight, the contrast between the coral sky and the cool blue sea feels especially crisp, while warmer evening lamps enhance the sunbaked tones of the sand and accessories.

Styling it

We recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated so the playful character of the wall mural takes center stage. Natural woven materials such as rattan, cane, or braided jute echo the relaxed coastal theme without competing with the detailed illustration. Low-slung painted pieces or light wood furniture work nicely against the motif, grounding the space while letting the colorful beach elements draw the eye. For textiles, simple unpatterned fabrics in light off-white, unbleached cotton, or soft canvas allow the pattern to feel balanced rather than busy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is built around warm coral tones, oceanic blues, and sandy neutrals, enlivened with accent touches of citrus yellow, bright green, and red. For adjoining walls and woodwork, soft warm off-white, light sand, or pale plaster tones create a clean, seamless transition that lets the coral backdrop stand out naturally. If you want to introduce deeper contrast through surrounding furniture or larger decor, muted terracotta, sun-washed olive, or a dusty coastal blue pull directly from the illustration while maintaining a cohesive look across the entire space.
