Wallpaper - Soul Food Begins With Roots

Our Soul Food Begins With Roots wallpaper brings together an illustrative celebration of natural produce with graphic typography. Created by Yvette St. Amant, the design lines up six colourful root vegetables across a warm beige background, featuring deep burgundy beetroots alongside rich orange and red tones, all topped with leafy green foliage. Anchored by the message "soul FOOD begins with ROOTS", the composition creates an artistic, grounded presence on the wall. Produced to your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in a kitchen or around an adjoining dining area where food and cooking take centre stage. The horizontal arrangement of the vegetables and lettering gives the pattern a clear rhythm, making it ideal for a dedicated feature wall, such as behind an open dining table or along a main cooking wall where cabinetry does not completely cover the artwork. Because the motif carries both visual illustration and text, giving it a relatively uninterrupted wall area allows the full phrase and vegetable line-up to be appreciated without feeling crowded.

Styling it

To complement the earthy warmth of the design, we would pair this wallpaper with relaxed, contemporary or boho-inspired furnishings:

• Use natural timber finishes, such as warm oak or mid-toned wood shelving and dining furniture, to echo the organic feel of the root vegetables.
• Keep surrounding kitchen accents simple with neutral ceramics or glazed terracotta to let the rich red and orange tones in the illustration stand out.
• Balance the graphic text with plain, textured textiles in unbleached cotton or linen around dining seating or window dressings.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper centres on an earthy palette of deep burgundy red, warm orange, rich terracotta, and natural leaf greens set against a muted beige base. For adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm stone, or pale biscuit shades work seamlessly with the background tone. If you want to draw out the deeper accents from the vegetables, richer burgundy cabinetry or warm terracotta decorative pieces provide a striking, cohesive contrast.
