Wallpaper - Catch of the Day IX

Our Catch of the Day IX wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a distinct retro charm to the wall with its clean illustration of three vintage-style thermos flasks. Set against a crisp white background, the trio is framed by a graphic plaid border in muted blue, orange, and grey tones. Each flask carries its own individual surface detail, from warm earthy brown with a grey lid to a subtle nature-inspired pattern and a coordinating plaid print. What we particularly like is the balance between the graphic line work and the nostalgic 1970s feel. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a graphic yet warm visual focal point.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in practical, social spaces where a playful narrative feels right at home. In a kitchen, pantry, or breakfast nook, the illustrated thermos motif creates an immediate conversational accent without overwhelming the room. Because the composition features three distinct vessels framed within a border on a clean background, we recommend giving it an accent wall or a dedicated section of wall around a dining area or prep space. It also sits comfortably in a casual summer house, cabin, or boot room where rustic and vintage themes blend naturally.

Styling it

To complement the 1970s revival aesthetic of the print, we would lean into warm natural elements and clean vintage forms.

• Pair with warm wood finishes such as mid-tone oak, pine, or teak to echo the earthy brown notes in the illustration.
• Keep surrounding cabinetry and furniture relatively simple in form so the graphic lines of the border and flasks remain the focal point.
• Introduce textured kitchen textiles or ceramics in soft terracotta, mustard, or slate blue to pick up on the accent colours within the plaid framing.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a crisp white ground with an earthy palette of soft blue, warm orange, muted brown, and grey. When decorating around it, we recommend drawing directly from these tones. Soft off-whites and pale stone work well on adjacent walls to keep the room light and open. For trims, joinery, or accent pieces, deeper navy blue, warm ochre, or muted clay create a grounded, cohesive look that mirrors the colours within the plaid border.
