Wallpaper - Gateau Chocolat

Created by Sue Schlabach, our Gateau Chocolat wallpaper brings the delicate, charming feel of a Parisian patisserie into the home through a watercolor-and-ink still life. The composition features a generous, three-layer slice of chocolate cake topped with swirls of frosting, set against a soft pink polka-dot napkin with two ripe raspberries. In the background, a wrapped parcel labeled "Gateau Chocolat" with baker's twine adds vintage character. Set against a clean white backdrop with tones of mocha, chocolate brown, soft blue, and blush pink, our made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers bring a warm and whimsical focal point to your walls.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as an accent wall in a kitchen or dining room, where culinary themes feel most at home. Because the artwork is arranged as a central, illustrative vignette surrounded by airy negative space, it thrives on an open wall that allows the charming details to breathe without feeling cramped. In an eat-in kitchen or dining nook, positioning this wall mural behind a dining table or alongside open shelving gives the room a cozy, welcoming character that invites conversation.

Styling it

To complement the vintage French country mood of the illustration, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with warm, natural materials and relaxed furniture.

• Introduce warm wood finishes, such as a rustic pine or oak dining table, to harmonize with the rich mocha and chocolate tones in the cake layers.
• Select painted cabinetry or shelving in soft antique white, buttermilk, or pastel sky blue to pick up on the wrapped parcel detail.
• Keep surrounding accessories simple and tactile, such as white ceramic tableware, clear glassware, and understated woven placemats that let the illustrated wall mural remain the visual highlight.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is anchored by rich chocolate browns, warm mocha, and crisp white, highlighted by accents of berry red, soft pink, and muted sky blue. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, creamy off-whites and warm ivories provide an effortless backdrop that blends smoothly with the paper's negative space. For a richer, more playful look, soft blush pink or a muted powdery blue can be pulled from the illustration onto nearby millwork, chairs, or accents to tie the entire room together.
