Wallpaper - Retro Kitchen II

Our Retro Kitchen II wallpaper captures the charm of mid-century baking with a warm, illustrative watercolour still life by Danhui Nai. A blue bowl filled with deep blackberries sits beside a mint green cake stand displaying pastries, accompanied by a striped cup and leafy branches. The composition rests against a warm coral-orange backdrop, grounded by a colourful plaid tablecloth patterned with blue, yellow, and red lines. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like this design in a kitchen or dining room where its domestic warmth feels entirely at home. The visual scale of the still life makes it an excellent choice for a dedicated accent wall, such as behind a breakfast table, a dining banquette, or along an open wall near a pantry. Because the composition has distinct focal elements, it works best on wall areas that are not heavily covered by tall, bulky cabinets, allowing the tabletop arrangement and soft watercolour brushwork to remain clear and visible.

Styling it

The nostalgic 1950s character of the artwork pairs naturally with both traditional country kitchens and colourful vintage-inspired interiors. We would balance the expressive pattern by keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple.

Light painted cabinetry in cream, off-white, or pale buttery yellow allows the wallpaper to take centre stage, while warm natural wood furniture, such as a pine or light birch dining table, complements the cosy, rustic quality of the illustration. Simple ceramic tableware and uncomplicated pendant lighting above the dining area keep the overall room calm while echoing the homey aesthetic of the mural.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on a warm coral and orange background, balanced by cool accents of mint green and cobalt blue, alongside the darker tones of the blackberries and the yellow and red grid lines in the tablecloth.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or kitchen cabinets, soft off-whites and creamy tones create a gentle, bright frame. For a more cohesive, tonal look, you could pick out the muted mint green from the cake stand or a warm honey yellow for adjacent woodwork, echoing the smaller details within the print without competing with the main scene.
