Wallpaper - Gateau Chocolate on Stripes

Our Gateau Chocolate on Stripes wallpaper by Sue Schlabach captures a sweet, nostalgic scene with a vintage culinary feel. The composition centres on an illustrated three-layer chocolate cake served on a soft pink polka-dot napkin, finished with rich frosting and two bright red raspberries. Beside it rests a wrapped parcel bearing the words "GATEAU CHOCOLAT" in gentle blue and beige tones, arranged against a backdrop of soft vertical stripes and delicate dots. With its warm oat yellow and chocolate brown palette, this design brings an inviting character to residential interiors. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a dining room or kitchen, this mural wallpaper naturally creates a welcoming, food-inspired focal point. Because the design combines a distinct central motif with a structured striped background, we like giving it a clear wall where the cake illustration can sit at eye level, such as behind a dining table or above a kitchen counter area. In open-plan kitchen and dining spaces, placing the wallpaper along one dedicated feature wall helps define the eating zone without overwhelming the rest of the room. The balanced vertical stripes also draw the eye upward, making it work comfortably in both compact breakfast nooks and larger family dining spaces.

Styling it

The nostalgic, 1950s French country charm of the artwork pairs naturally with warm, relaxed dining spaces. We would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded, using painted chairs or natural warm wood dining tables that reflect the homely character of the design. Ceramic tableware in soft cream or muted pastel glazes echoes the painted look of the dessert motif, while clean-lined cabinetry helps keep the overall look fresh rather than overly busy.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design revolves around warm oat yellow, deep chocolate brown, gentle blue, and soft pink, accented by the vivid red of the raspberries. When selecting surrounding wall colours, warm off-whites, creamy beige, or muted buttermilk yellow create a soft, cohesive transition on adjacent walls. For cabinetry or painted woodwork, a soft French blue or a gentle dusty rose picks up the secondary tones of the packaging and napkin, adding subtle contrast while maintaining a harmonious, warm atmosphere.
