Wallpaper - Vintage Summer X

Designed by Leslie Trimbach, this playful wallpaper brings together two illustrated ice lollies framed within a classic oval medallion against a backdrop of soft vertical stripes. The artwork features a watercolour-like appearance, showing one smooth oval lolly in muted sage green alongside a spiral-twisted lolly in green and warm ochre tones. Surrounding the central motif, hand-painted style stripes in muted teal, dusty pink, and warm apricot create a nostalgic summer rhythm across the wall. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper delivers a charming vintage character that stands out effortlessly.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a focal point in a kitchen, dining nook, children's bedroom, nursery, or playroom. Because the central medallion and ice lolly illustration command visual attention, the mural wallpaper performs particularly well on a feature wall where the entire oval frame can sit uninterrupted. In a child's bedroom or playroom, placing it behind a low bed, cot, or reading corner lets the whimsical subject matter set an uplifting, nostalgic tone. In an open-plan kitchen or summer house dining area, giving it a dedicated wall above simple wainscoting or alongside open shelving allows the vertical stripes to draw the eye upward while adding a light-hearted, retro-inspired aesthetic.

Styling it

To let the illustrative character take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with simple, understated furnishings.

• Introduce painted wooden furniture in soft off-white, muted sage, or warm cream to reflect the hand-painted background tones without competing with the central illustration.
• Keep surrounding materials light and tactile, such as unbleached cotton or linen window dressings, which enhance the airy, summery feel.
• Balance the vertical stripes with simple curves elsewhere in the space, such as a round dining table, an oval wall mirror, or curved rattan accents.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in a muted pastel palette of sage green, dusty pink, soft apricot ochre, and gentle teal-blue, set over a warm cream ground. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, pulling directly from these tones creates a cohesive look. A gentle off-white or soft clotted cream on the trim keeps the atmosphere bright and open. If you prefer subtle colour on adjacent walls, a muted sage green or dusty plaster pink connects seamlessly with the striped pattern while keeping the overall room calm and inviting.
