Wallpaper - Vintage Summer V

Created by Leslie Trimbach, our Vintage Summer V wallpaper brings a lighthearted, nostalgic note to the wall with three watercolor-style popsicles arranged side by side. The composition pairs a striped red, white, and green ice pop with a soft blue-green bar and a classic carmine red treat, all rendered with delicate washes and fine sketching against a warm off-white ground. We love how the watercolor character gives the motif an illustrative, vintage charm without feeling overly busy. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a playful splash of color to everyday spaces.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in casual gathering areas and family spaces like kitchens, dining rooms, pantries, and breakfast nooks. The clear vertical rhythm of the three popsicles makes it a standout choice for an accent wall behind a dining bench, beside open kitchen shelving, or within a pantry nook.

Because the background remains light and open, the wallpaper also feels right at home in children's bedrooms, toddler rooms, or creative playrooms. In smaller rooms or summer homes, giving the motif an uninterrupted wall allows the three distinct shapes to serve as a bright, graphic focal point without overpowering the rest of the interior.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the cheerful, illustrative quality of the artwork with clean, relaxed interior pieces.

• Pair the motif with painted white or light wood cabinetry and furniture to let the vivid red and cool blue washes pop.
• Introduce casual bistro seating or simple cafe-style chairs to lean into a vintage soda-fountain or summer cottage feel.
• Keep surrounding accessories simple, using glass jars, ceramic tableware, or subtle striped linens that echo the retro dessert theme without competing with the wall art.

Color combinations

The design is built around rich carmine red, muted watermelon green, cool pastel blue, and soft cream. To create a cohesive look around the wallpaper, we suggest pulling the warm cream tone onto adjacent walls and trim for a seamless backdrop. For a bolder, more graphic setting, surrounding cabinetry or doors painted in crisp vintage red or a pale seafoam green will highlight the sweet palette of the popsicles.
