Wallpaper - Summer Picnic I

Our Summer Picnic I wallpaper by Yvette St. Amant brings a vibrant culinary still life into the home with an open, painted composition. At the heart of the motif sits a golden lemon tart garnished with fresh lemon slices, blueberries, and green leaves, accompanied by a single served slice on a blue-rimmed plate. Beside it, a glass pitcher and tumbler of lemonade rest amongst whole lemons, blue and white striped cloths, and rich blue hydrangeas against a soft, textured blue backdrop. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design makes an inviting statement on kitchen and dining walls.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining room or an open-plan kitchen dining area. Because the motif is arranged like an expansive tabletop still life, it feels most natural when placed on a primary wall near where you eat, such as behind a dining table, along a breakfast nook, or on an uninterrupted wall beside kitchen cabinetry.

The balance of sunshine yellow, deep blueberry tones, and soft blue gives the design strong visual presence without feeling overwhelmingly dense. On a wide feature wall, the complete arrangement has space to breathe, allowing the individual painterly details from the striped linens to the cut citrus to remain distinct and engaging across the room.

Styling it

To complement the playful yet classic character of the scene, we would pair this design with simple furniture and authentic finishes that ground the brighter colours:

• Natural wood furniture, such as a pale oak or warm pine dining table, balances the bright sunshine yellows and keeps the space feeling relaxed and grounded.
• Classic painted dining chairs or bar stools in navy blue or off-white pick up the tones in the striped cloths and plate rims without adding competing patterns.
• Glazed ceramic tableware, clear glassware, or simple woven table mats echo the rustic picnic aesthetic of the artwork while letting the wallpaper remain the central decorative feature.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around clear sunshine yellow, cobalt and navy blues, leafy greens, and a calm, textured light blue ground. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and cabinetry, we suggest drawing directly from these shades to create a unified interior.

Crisp off-white or soft warm white on neighbouring walls and skirting boards lets the bright yellow and blue artwork stand out with clarity. For a bolder, more cohesive look, deep navy or cornflower blue on kitchen lower cabinets or interior doors ties beautifully to the hydrangeas and striped textiles in the design. If you prefer a subtle transition, a pale sky blue drawn from the backdrop can carry gently around the rest of the room.
