Wallpaper - Pasta

Our Pasta wallpaper by Michael Clark brings a lively, retro-inspired kitchen still life to the wall with the charm of an expressive watercolor and ink drawing. The composition gathers classic culinary essentials, from a hanging braid of garlic and an olive oil bottle with a cheese grater motif to a spotted pitcher, a stovetop pot, and a classic moka pot. Washes of sunny yellow, soft cream, and cobalt blue give the scene an airy, midcentury character filled with handwritten script and energetic linework. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a dining room, kitchen, or a dedicated pantry area where food and gathering are already central to the space. Because the artwork functions as a painterly still life with distinct culinary motifs, it makes a wonderful feature wall alongside a dining table or breakfast banquette. In a smaller kitchen or pantry nook, giving the mural an open wall allows the loose watercolor washes and playful handwritten notes to remain clearly visible without being crowded by heavy cabinetry.

Styling it

The 1950s retro sensibility of the illustration pairs naturally with midcentury modern furniture, simple painted wood, or vintage dining chairs. To balance the bright yellow and bold blue highlights in the design, we recommend keeping surrounding surfaces relatively relaxed and unadorned. Natural blonde woods or crisp white dining tables let the expressive lines of the artwork stand out, while simple ceramic tableware or cobalt blue glassware can softly echo the colors on the wall without overpowering the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a warm cream background enriched by vibrant sunny yellow washes and crisp cobalt, teal, and slate blue accents, grounded with soft touches of garlic lilac and deep charcoal ink lines. Around this mural, soft off-white, light cream, or pale buttercup yellow on adjacent walls will create a warm and cohesive feel. If you prefer a cooler, more defined contrast, pulling out the blue tones for painted baseboards, kitchen shelving, or dining chairs adds a sharp, deliberate accent.
