Wallpaper - Relaxing at the Cafe II

Our Relaxing at the Cafe II wallpaper by James Wiens brings a painterly Parisian street scene to life on a grand, atmospheric scale. The composition centres on a classic bistro terrace framed by a striking red-and-white striped awning, with a couple seated quietly at a café table and the soft silhouette of the Eiffel Tower visible in the hazy distance. Rendered with expressive brushwork, soft light, and reflective pavement, the design carries an unmistakable impressionist character. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that lends gentle depth to every brushstroke.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a dining room, where the Parisian café setting adds warmth, character, and a relaxed sense of occasion. Because the artwork functions as a scenic vista with distinct focal points and perspective, it performs best on a generous, relatively uninterrupted feature wall. Placing the wallpaper behind a dining table or along the main wall of an open-plan dining space allows the café terrace and distant city view to remain fully visible without feeling crowded by high furniture.

Styling it

To complement the impressionistic, vintage-inspired atmosphere of this wallpaper, we suggest leaning into classic French country or bistro-inspired furnishings. A rustic wooden dining table in warm oak or dark walnut pairs naturally with the earthy tones in the painting, while classic bentwood or woven bistro chairs echo the outdoor seating in the motif. Keep surrounding decorative pieces simple and understated so the detailed painted scenery remains the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper features a distinctive balance of carmine red, creamy whites, soft slate greys, leafy greens, and warm earthy tones. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, antique creams, or soft stone hues create a quiet, cohesive backdrop that lets the red canopy stand out. For a moodier, more tailored feel, a muted charcoal or deep bistro green on trim or cabinetry pulls out the darker architectural accents within the painting.
