Wallpaper - Coolander Cool

Our Coolander Cool wallpaper mural by Kathrine Lovell brings a graphic, nostalgic sensibility to the wall with a bold ink drawing of a classic kitchen colander. Set against a textured, painterly off-white backdrop, the simple black line work and polka-dot perforations create an honest, illustrative focal point that feels grounded and artistic. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, it offers a confident way to introduce playful culinary character into your home.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on a feature wall in a kitchen or an adjacent dining space. Because the central motif has such clear graphic clarity, it carries visual presence without needing an excessively busy surrounding scheme. In a compact kitchen dining nook, positioning the motif on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the simple outline and wide negative space around the colander to breathe. If you have an open shelving area or a breakfast bar, placing the wallpaper where it remains partly visible behind everyday tableware helps frame the culinary theme naturally.

Styling it

To complement the graphic line work and neutral palette of our design, we suggest leaning into clean, contemporary kitchen styling with warm, grounded accents:

• Pair the black and off-white motif with natural wood cabinetry or a warm wooden dining table to bring tactile warmth against the stark ink lines.
• Incorporate simple black ironmongery or minimalist dark lighting pendants that echo the strong, hand-drawn outline of the colander.
• Keep surrounding accessories quiet and functional, choosing ceramic bowls, simple glassware, and plain woven linen dishcloths rather than high-gloss or heavily patterned items.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on deep ink black lines set over a chalky, cotton-white background with subtle grey and off-white painted texture. When painting surrounding walls or woodwork, soft neutral tones like muted stone, warm plaster, or deep charcoal work exceptionally well to frame the mural. For a slightly more vibrant accent in a dining area or kitchen, muted vintage hues such as olive green, mustard yellow, or rust red can easily be introduced through seating or cookware without clashing with the monochrome artwork.
