Wallpaper - Vintage Summer XI

Our Vintage Summer XI wallpaper brings a playful, nostalgic warmth to the wall with a central watercolor-inspired illustration framed in a clean oval medallion. Designed by Leslie Trimbach, the motif showcases two classic ice pops, one in berry red and the other in cool blue with a touch of lime yellow at the base, detailed with delicate sketch lines and wooden sticks. Surrounding the central vignette is a rhythmic backdrop of faded vertical stripes in muted blue, soft ochre, and blush pink against an ivory ground. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an accent wall in a kitchen, a relaxed breakfast nook, or a cheerful dining space. The centered composition and graphic stripe background give the wallpaper a focused presence, making it especially effective on a main feature wall behind a dining bench or casual prep area.

In a kids' room, toddler room, or playroom, the retro ice-cream theme introduces vibrant character without overwhelming the room. The vertical stripe pattern also helps draw the eye upward, which works well in compact spaces or rooms with standard ceiling heights. For a vacation home or summer house, it offers an easy way to establish a breezy, seasonal aesthetic on an entryway wall or alongside a casual seating nook.

Styling it

The Americana and mid-century undertones of this design pair naturally with simple, vintage-inspired furnishings. We would combine it with warm wooden furniture, such as honey-toned pine or light oak, to echo the warm ochre tones in the stripes and the natural color of the popsicle sticks.

Painted furniture in soft off-white or muted slate blue also sits comfortably against the motif, allowing the red pop in the artwork to remain the clear focal point. To keep the space feeling relaxed and uncluttered, choose uncomplicated shapes and avoid competing patterns nearby, letting the vertical backdrop and central oval define the visual rhythm of the wall.

Color combinations

The wallpaper brings together a balanced palette of cherry red, faded blue, soft ochre, and muted rose against a warm ivory base. To build a cohesive look, we recommend drawing from the softer background tones when selecting colors for adjacent walls and woodwork.

A gentle ivory, warm cream, or light sandy beige on surrounding walls will keep the atmosphere bright and open while framing the mural naturally. For trim, cabinetry, or window casings, a pale vintage blue or a washed dusty rose creates a charming connection to the stripe sequence. If you want a subtle bit of contrast in a dining area or kitchen, deeper terracotta or navy accents on chairs or shelving pick up the deeper tones of the illustration nicely.
