Wallpaper - Vintage Summer XI

Two watercolor-style popsicles sit at the center of this playful wallpaper design by Leslie Trimbach, framed inside a soft oval vignette. One popsicle is a bold berry red, while the other pairs dusty blue with a touch of soft yellow, both complete with classic wooden sticks. Behind them runs a backdrop of watercolor-painted vertical stripes in muted blue, ochre orange, and faded pink over an ivory ground. The gentle hand-painted look and sun-faded palette give our wallpaper a nostalgic retro charm. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature in a playroom, nursery, or kids' bedroom where its nostalgic Americana vibe brings cheerful personality to the space. Because the design has a strong central oval framing the popsicles, it looks best on a relatively uninterrupted wall, such as behind a low bed frame, a child's desk, or centered over a low toy chest. In a kitchen, breakfast nook, or casual summer house dining area, the vertical stripes help draw the eye upward while keeping the atmosphere lighthearted and relaxed.

Styling it

To let the playful character of the motif stand out without overwhelming the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Natural blonde wood or warm painted furniture in off-white or soft cream balances the colorful backdrop nicely.

When choosing accents, pulling from the striped background creates an effortless, coordinated look. Subtle textile touches like washed cotton cushions or roman blinds in pale coral, faded denim, or warm ochre tie the room together while letting the wall mural remain the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a palette of berry red, dusty slate blue, warm ochre, muted pink, and soft sage surrounding the central ivory medallion.

When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend echoing these soft retro tones. An off-white or warm ivory trim keeps the space bright and cohesive. For a slightly bolder look, an adjacent wall painted in a muted sage green, pale sky blue, or dusty terracotta creates a lovely dialogue with the watercolor stripes without competing with the central illustration.
