Wallpaper - Red Lobster

Our Red Lobster wallpaper mural, created by Jeanette Vertentes, brings a vibrant, painterly energy straight into the home. At the centre of the composition sits a bold lobster painted in rich cherry red, warm orange, and deep purple tones. Detailed, expressive brushstrokes give the shell, large claws, and sweeping antennae a sense of depth and layered oil-paint texture. Behind the subject, dynamic abstract swirls of blue, yellow, and green create a lively, multicoloured backdrop that makes the warm foreground pop. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a playful yet dramatic artistic statement to any feature wall.

In the room

Because of the strong central focus and expressive scale, we see this wall mural working particularly well as a focal point in a dining room or a kitchen. In a dining area, placing the mural on an uninterrupted main wall allows the full silhouette of the lobster and the swirling background colours to be appreciated from across the table. In a kitchen, positioning the design along a dining nook or adjacent feature wall introduces rich colour and artistic character without competing with cabinetry. The high contrast and vivid palette make it naturally suited to spaces where conversation and shared meals happen.

Styling it

We would lean into an eclectic or contemporary interior approach here, balancing the expressive artwork with considered furniture choices:

• Pair the vibrant reds and cool blues with warm natural wood dining tables or painted kitchen furniture that grounds the room without competing with the painterly strokes.
• Keep surrounding decorative items sculptural and simple, such as plain ceramic tableware or understated lighting, letting the mural remain the primary visual statement.
• Echo the secondary colours from the background, like deep blues or warm golden yellows, through smaller textiles like seat cushions or kitchen linens to tie the entire room together.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper combines vivid cherry red, orange, and purple in the motif with an abstract background of blue, yellow, and green. When planning surrounding surfaces, we suggest working with crisp off-white or soft warm neutrals for adjoining walls and woodwork to give the rich artwork room to breathe. For a bolder look, drawing out the deeper navy or slate blues on adjacent cabinetry or skirting boards creates a confident, cohesive frame around the red centrepiece.
