Wallpaper - Tasty Tins VII

Our Tasty Tins VII wallpaper by Veronique Charron brings a playful, graphic pop art sensibility to the wall with a bold vintage sardine tin illustration. The design centers on an open can rolled back with a silver key, revealing three expressive blue mackerels inside with two heads and one tail peeking outward. Set against a warm beige and orange checkered backdrop, the composition comes alive with lively aquamarine blue, teal, sunny yellow, and vibrant orange tones, finished with the quirky text phrase "WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN SO CLOSE MACKEREL." Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this piece adds immediate character, color, and humor to any interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a kitchen or an informal breakfast nook where its food-inspired subject matter feels right at home. Because the sardine tin illustration serves as a strong graphic focal point, we would give it a primary wall where the central motif and text can be appreciated without being split across awkward corners. In an open-plan kitchen and dining layout, placing this design on a feature wall behind a dining banquette or an open shelving area creates a lively conversation piece that anchors the entire cooking and eating zone.

Styling it

The collage-like graphic style and bold checkered pattern invite an eclectic or contemporary interior approach. We like pairing this design with clean-lined, modern kitchen cabinetry or painted mid-century dining furniture in muted neutrals or creamy whites, letting the vibrant colors of the wallpaper remain the focal point. Matte black hardware or simple stainless steel accents echo the graphic outlines of the tin without competing with the illustration. If you want to lean into the playful retro mood, adding simple ceramics in coordinating warm yellow or terracotta tones around the room ties the space together naturally.

Color combinations

The artwork is built around a lively palette of aquamarine blue, teal, bright yellow, and warm orange, grounded by a soft beige checkerboard. When selecting surrounding wall paint and finishes, we recommend pulling from the softer background tones. A warm off-white, light cream, or gentle biscuit color on adjacent walls allows the wallpaper's rich blues and citrus tones to pop without feeling overwhelming. For trim, cabinetry, or accent pieces, deeper nautical navy or a soft muted ochre creates a cohesive, intentional color story.
