Wallpaper - Vintage Summer IX

Our Vintage Summer IX wallpaper brings together a cheerful retro motif and soft pastel geometry, designed by Leslie Trimbach. The central illustration features a watercolour-style orange ice lolly with a translucent slice of fresh orange set inside, framed within a gentle oval vignette. Behind it, a backdrop of clean vertical stripes in muted blue, soft peach, and gentle pink tones provides an orderly, nostalgic structure. The textured appearance of the wooden stick and the subtle painterly washes give the entire piece a distinct mid-century charm. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a lighthearted, sunlit character to any feature wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as an expressive focal point in family-centred residential spaces. In an eat-in kitchen or a breakfast nook, the playful fruit motif naturally connects with the space, adding visual warmth without overwhelming the room. Because the artwork relies on a single defined central frame paired with vertical background stripes, it benefits from being hung on a relatively uninterrupted wall, such as behind a dining table, along a kitchen accent wall, or behind a low cot in a nursery.

In a child's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom, the gentle balance between the geometric stripes and the soft illustrative centre offers plenty of character while remaining calm. The vertical direction of the background stripes helps draw the eye upward, making it a great option for rooms with standard ceiling heights. If you are decorating a garden room or summer house, the breezy pastel palette and warm honey-orange tones capture a relaxed, sunny feel year-round.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of our wall murals stand out, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture relatively simple and lightly structured.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted furniture in soft off-white, buttermilk, or pale cream to keep the overall atmosphere bright and cohesive.
• Incorporate warm, light wood tones such as natural birch, pale pine, or light oak to echo the handcrafted, organic look of the wooden lolly stick.
• Choose understated cotton or canvas textiles in solid muted tones rather than busy competing prints, allowing the vertical stripe pattern to remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is built on a base of warm honey orange, balanced by cool, muted pastel blue, soft peach, and chalky pink.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding woodwork, cabinetry, or adjacent walls, we recommend pulling directly from the cooler background tones. A quiet, desaturated powder blue or a warm off-white creates a crisp, clean border around the mural wallpapers. Alternatively, if you want a warmer, more enveloping mood, picking up the gentle peach or blush pink on adjacent surfaces ties the entire room together seamlessly.
