Wallpaper - Sweet Summer

Designed by Veronique Charron, our Sweet Summer wallpaper brings together playful holiday motifs in a graphic, 1970s revival collage style. Large-scale elements including an ice cream cone topped with a cherry, an ice lolly, a patterned flip-flop, a lime slice, daisies, and vibrant arched rainbows float across a soft off-white background layered with gentle circular shapes and dashed textures. The warm, sun-drenched palette combines popping orange, soft pink, sunny yellow, mint green, and sky blue. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle physical structure in the wallpaper paper, our design creates an instantly cheerful feature wall.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in spaces that welcome colour and playful character, such as children's rooms, playrooms, nurseries, or a teenage room. Because the individual illustrated elements have generous visual scale, we recommend giving this wallpaper a relatively open, uninterrupted wall area where the full collage composition can be seen without being heavily hidden by tall furniture.

In a playroom or toddler's bedroom, placing our wallpaper behind a low bed, a play table, or an open reading corner allows the cheerful motifs to become the main focal point of the space. The design also works beautifully in a bright family kitchen, breakfast nook, or summer house, where the sunny seaside themes feel right at home. In compact spaces or powder rooms, using our mural wallpapers across an accent wall creates an uplifting, vibrant pocket of colour.

Styling it

Because our wallpaper has a lively mix of bold graphic shapes and sunny tones, we like keeping the surrounding furniture relatively simple and grounded. Mid-century modern or retro-inspired shapes in light oak, birch, or warm honey pine complement the 1970s character of the illustration without competing for attention.

For larger textiles such as rugs and bedding, choosing plain, unpatterned fabrics in soft ecru, oatmeal, or washed mint balances the busy pattern work on the wall. Small accents in citrus yellow, coral, or pastel green can then be echoed gently through lampshades, cushions, or painted storage boxes to pull the entire room scheme together naturally.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built around a vibrant core of orange, sunshine yellow, coral pink, mint green, lime, and soft blue against an off-white textured backdrop.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we suggest pulling directly from the softer tones in the pattern. A warm, creamy off-white on adjacent walls keeps the space bright and airy while letting the mural take centre stage. For trim, skirting boards, or painted furniture, a soft sage or muted mint green provides a fresh contrast, while a dusty peach or pale terracotta adds a warmer, sunnier feel that picks up on the ice lolly and rainbow details.
