Wallpaper - Parisian Diary II

Our Parisian Diary II wallpaper by artist Silvia Vassileva brings an inviting European street scene onto the wall with a painterly, textured visual feel. The composition centres on an intimate pavement café setting, complete with small round tables, white cloths, and vases of pink flowers, framed by classic architecture in warm saffron and earthy orange tones. Green window shutters, a red awning, and a soft blue sky above an arched bridge add balanced color contrast and visual depth across the scene. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is custom made to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this painterly design working particularly well in a dining room or an open-plan kitchen where the warmth of the scene can set a hospitable, relaxed mood. Because the artwork features rich architectural detail and atmospheric depth, giving it an uninterrupted feature wall lets the entire café setting and distant bridge unfold naturally. In a dining space, placing your table just off-centre from the main focal point helps connect the painted outdoor terrace with the everyday life of the room. The earthy saffron tones also bring a lovely visual warmth into north-facing rooms that need a softer, sunlit character.

Styling it

To let the painted details of the wallpaper take center stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded.

• Pair the warm tones with natural timber dining furniture, such as aged oak, mid-tone ash, or walnut, which echoes the traditional street architecture.
• Introduce classic bistro elements, like bentwood chairs or subtle wrought iron details, to tie in naturally with the café theme without overcrowding the space.
• Keep surrounding textiles understated in unbleached cotton, plain linen, or soft cream to balance the rich orange and red accents in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper is built around warm saffron, terracotta orange, and muted stone, balanced by accent touches of forest green in the shutters, deep red in the awning, and a quiet sky blue. For adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or pale plaster hues work seamlessly alongside the earthy buildings. If you want a richer contrast on painted trim, doors, or lower wall panelling, a deep heritage green drawn from the window shutters creates a grounded, tailored frame for the scene.
