Wallpaper - The Toast of Paris

Our The Toast of Paris wallpaper captures the character of vintage French printmaking with an ornate champagne bottle illustration from Château Verzenay in Montagne de Reims. Rendered in an etching-inspired style, the central motif features a classic fleur-de-lis seal, decorative scrollwork, and heritage typography set against a deep, weathered dark background. Bone white detailing creates sharp, graphic contrast, giving the composition an archival, historical presence on the wall. Produced as made-to-measure wall murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers bring distinct graphic character and timeless nostalgia to interior spaces.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a dedicated dining room, where the heritage beverage motif naturally connects with entertaining and shared meals. Because the illustration carries a strong central focus and dramatic dark-to-light contrast, it performs brilliantly as a feature wall behind a dining table or along an accent wall in a kitchen dining area. On a wider, uninterrupted wall, the aged background texture has sufficient space to unfold, allowing the bone white linework of the bottle to anchor the visual balance of the room.

Styling it

The 19th-century etching aesthetic pairs naturally with heritage or classic interior styles. We suggest balancing the graphic weight of the dark backdrop with warmer wood tones, such as aged oak or walnut dining furniture, which complement the vintage character without competing with the illustration.

For surrounding details, unlacquered brass or antique bronze hardware provides an understated metallic accent that echoes the classical French framing of the artwork. Keeping large upholstery and table linens relatively quiet in neutral, textured weaves allows the fine line work of the champagne label to remain the clear focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design relies on a deep, moody dark background paired with crisp bone white in the illustrated label and linework.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls, skirting, or architectural trim, soft chalky whites and warm off-whites create a clean dialogue with the bottle details. For a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, deep charcoal, muted ink black, or rich espresso tones on surrounding woodwork will seamlessly extend the dark ground of the wallpaper into the wider room.
