Wallpaper - Vintage Summer X

Designed by Leslie Trimbach, this charming wallpaper mural captures a nostalgic summer feel with two watercolor ice lolly illustrations set within a soft oval frame. One is a smooth, classic ice pop in muted sage green, while the other features a playful spiral twist of green and warm ochre tones. In the background, hand-painted vertical stripes in gentle pastel shades of muted teal, apricot, pink, and off-white give the design a subtle retro rhythm. Printed custom to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, our wallpapers bring a delightful, illustrative character to any wall.

In the room

We love how this design balances playful subject matter with a calm, understated palette. It makes a wonderful accent wall in a kitchen dining nook, children's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom, adding visual interest without feeling overly loud. Because the oval illustration forms a distinct focal point framed by vertical stripes, it works particularly well on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the central artwork can sit unobstructed by tall furniture. In a summer house or breakfast area, the soft vertical lines can also help draw the eye upward, giving compact rooms a light and airy atmosphere.

Styling it

To let the artwork stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Natural, lighter wood pieces such as birch, ash, or light oak sit harmoniously with the warm ochre tones in the stripes and ice lolly details. For painted furniture or cabinetry, soft off-white, muted cream, or pale sage finishes keep the overall look cohesive and fresh. Keeping larger textiles plain and lightly textured rather than heavily patterned allows the vertical stripes and illustrative center to remain the main visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate palette of sage green, warm ochre, soft teal, muted pink, and warm cream. To complement these shades on surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, consider gentle neutrals such as warm buttermilk white, soft linen beige, or a very pale grey-green. If you prefer a bit more tonal contrast, pulling out the muted sage or the dusty apricot from the stripes onto adjacent walls or painted trim creates an intentional, cohesive interior scheme.
