Wallpaper - Sardine Tin II

Our Sardine Tin II wallpaper mural brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall with its retro-inspired illustration created by Farida Zaman. Set against a clean light blue grid background, the design centres on a stylised sardine tin with bold black lettering spelling out "SARD" across a cream label. The peeled-back lid reveals colourful fish in tones of blue, yellow, orange, and green, finished with a classic winding key and a small "PACKED LIKE" banner. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a kitchen or around a dining space where its witty food motif can take centre stage. The strong central illustration and geometric grid structure make it a natural choice for an accent wall, such as behind an informal kitchen table, near open shelving, or along an open dining wall where the graphic composition has space to breathe. Because the design has a clear focal point and bold visual scale, placing it on a relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full charm of the illustrated tin and lettering to remain clearly visible.

Styling it

The expressive, eclectic character of this mural wallpaper invites a confident and creative approach to surrounding furniture. We would pair it with clean, simple painted cabinetry or light wood furniture to keep the room balanced while letting the illustrated artwork carry the main visual personality. Mid-century dining chairs, contemporary ceramics, or bistro-style kitchen accessories naturally echo the vintage graphic aesthetic. Keeping surrounding materials unfussy ensures the lively motif remains the primary focus of the interior.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our wallpaper brings together a soft light blue grid and warm cream label with vibrant pops of yellow, orange, green, and deep blue, grounded by crisp black line work. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling from the softer tones in the motif: a chalky off-white, light cream, or pale sky blue will create a harmonious, airy setting. If you prefer higher contrast, deep charcoal or olive green accents in surrounding decor or furniture pick up on the darker graphic elements without overwhelming the room.
