Wallpaper - Mangia

Our Mangia wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a vibrant, painterly celebration of Italian dining straight to the wall. At the centre of the composition sits a hand-painted blue plate with a bright orange rim, filled with sunny yellow bow tie pasta shapes against a crisp white backdrop. Flowing underneath, the word "Mangia!" is scripted in lively cursive blue lettering, giving the mural a warm, expressive character. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the bold balance of colour and graphic simplicity, pairing painterly textures with playful typography. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle surface structure in the wallpaper paper, our wallpapers are simple to hang and bring immediate personality to food-loving spaces.

In the room

Because the composition has a clear central focus, we like using this design on an accent wall where the illustration can sit unobstructed. In a kitchen or dining room, it naturally draws the eye when placed directly behind a dining table or above a low kitchen counter run. The clean white ground keeps the wall visually open, while the saturated cobalt blue, orange, and yellow tones provide a strong focal point. If you have an open-plan kitchen and dining area, our mural wallpapers work well to define the eating zone, creating a distinct and sociable corner without overwhelming the surrounding walls.

Styling it

With its expressive, graphic style, this design sits comfortably in contemporary, eclectic, or casual dining settings. We would pair the wallpaper with unvarnished natural timber, such as a warm pine or light beech dining table, which echoes the cheerful warmth of the pasta yellow. For surrounding furniture, simple silhouettes with painted finishes work well, especially chairs in a classic matte white or a bold painted blue that picks up on the cursive lettering. Keeping the surrounding shelving and table settings relatively uncluttered lets the central motif take the spotlight.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on vivid cobalt blue, warm orange, bright yellow, and crisp white. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest pulling the warm white of the background onto adjacent painted walls to keep the room bright and balanced. For trim, door frames, or open cabinetry, a deep cobalt blue offers a striking, deliberate connection to the cursive script. If you prefer a subtler accent, muted ochre or soft terracotta touches in table linens and pottery will naturally complement the pasta and plate rim without competing with the main illustration.
