Wallpaper - Red Lobster

Our Red Lobster wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Jeanette Vertentes, centers on an expressive, large-scale lobster rendered in rich cherry red, orange, and deep purple tones. Visible, painterly brushstrokes define the claws and sweeping antennae, giving the artwork a layered, oil-painted appearance. Behind the central crustacean, dynamic abstract swirls of ocean blue, sunny yellow, and leafy green create a lively, colorful backdrop. Printed to order as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design brings an energetic, painterly focal point to your walls.

In the room

Because of the bold central motif and strong painterly composition, we see this wall mural working especially well on an accent wall where the lobster can take center stage without being split by heavy architectural breaks. In a dining room, positioning the mural along the main wall behind a dining table gives the space an immediate artistic focal point and a welcoming, conversational energy. In an open-plan kitchen, placing our wallpaper along a dedicated dining nook or an open wall away from tall cabinetry allows the full sweep of the colorful backdrop and broad brushwork to remain visible.

The vibrant contrast between warm reds and cool aquatic tones allows the design to hold its own across larger wall areas, while also bringing character to more compact dining spaces that call for a punchy, maximalist statement.

Styling it

When styling around this expressive wallpaper, we recommend letting the artwork carry the primary visual weight of the room. Pairing the wall mural with simple, clean-lined dining furniture in mid-tone or warm woods keeps the focus squarely on the rich colors of the painting.

To complement the bold, postmodern spirit of the artwork, you can introduce accents that subtly echo the motif's palette:

• Choose dining chairs or barstools with clean silhouettes in dark or natural finishes to ground the bright colors on the wall.
• Introduce tableware or decorative ceramics in soft cobalt, mustard yellow, or off-white to pick up on the fluid brushstrokes in the background.
• Keep surrounding window treatments simple and unpatterned, using neutral woven fabrics that let natural daylight highlight the painted texture of the motif.

Color combinations

Our wallpaper brings together a vibrant palette led by cherry red, warm orange, and violet-purple, contrasted against swirling accents of cerulean blue, golden yellow, and cool green.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls and trim, softer neutrals like warm alabaster, pale linen, or creamy off-white provide a balanced backdrop that keeps the room open and bright. If you want to lean into a more eclectic, maximalist aesthetic, bringing in deep navy blue on neighboring walls, kitchen islands, or dining cabinetry creates a striking, moody contrast that makes the red lobster stand out even more dramatically.
