Wallpaper - Gateau Chocolate on Stripes

Our Gateau Chocolate on Stripes wallpaper brings a playful, nostalgic patisserie motif to the wall with warm watercolour-style illustration. Designed by Sue Schlabach, the artwork features a rich chocolate cake resting on a pink polka-dotted napkin, accented by bright red raspberries and a gift box marked "GATEAU CHOCOLAT". Set against an oat yellow striped and dotted background, the composition combines mid-century French country charm with a cosy, welcoming character. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an inviting backdrop full of decorative warmth.

In the room

In a dining room or kitchen, we see this design working particularly well as an accent wall around a dining table, breakfast nook, or open shelving area. Because the illustrated motif has a distinct central presence framed by the graphic vertical stripes and dotted details, placing it on an uninterrupted wall allows the full charm of the composition to be seen. In a smaller kitchen or dining space, the warm oat yellow backdrop brings visual comfort without overwhelming the space, while the vertical stripe structure adds a gentle sense of height.

Styling it

The nostalgic character and 1950s French country mood of this design make it easy to pair with both classic and relaxed contemporary interiors.

We would combine this wallpaper with painted wooden dining furniture in off-white or soft cream, or alongside warm mid-toned timber that echoes the warm oat and chocolate tones. To complement the illustrative style, simple ceramic tableware, vintage-inspired kitchen accessories, or soft linen drapery help reinforce the relaxed bakery aesthetic without competing with the cake motif.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in warm oat yellow, chocolate brown, soft beige, and subtle blue, with lively accents of soft pink and berry red.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend pulling out the gentle oat or creamy beige tones for a harmonious, tone-on-tone feel. Alternatively, pairing the wallpaper with a soft, muted blue on adjacent trim or lower panelling picks up on the parcel detail and provides a crisp, balanced contrast against the warmer yellow background.
