Wallpaper - Tasty Tins IX

Our Tasty Tins IX wallpaper brings graphic food art to the wall, reimagining a vintage sardine tin label with vibrant colour and retro personality. Designed by Veronique Charron, the motif pairs a warm yellow and saffron orange border with bold lettering, framing the word "Sardines" alongside playful phrases like "Stay Cozy &" and "All Tucked In". Teal lettering contrasts against rich red panels, underpinned by clean green and cream vertical stripes and a silver pull-tab detail at the top. The bold lines and flat graphic shapes give this design a confident, nostalgic character that works brilliantly as a focal feature. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We love this design in social, food-centred spaces around the home. In a kitchen or open-plan dining room, it brings an immediate sense of humour and warmth to an accent wall, whether framed above a breakfast bar, set behind a casual dining nook, or brightening a compact wall space between kitchen units. Because the motif is arranged as a large-scale graphic composition, we recommend giving it an unobstructed section of wall where the complete artwork, lettering, and stripe layout can be enjoyed without being cut off by tall furniture.

Styling it

The strong postmodern and mid-century graphic influence makes this design particularly fun to style. We would balance the bold, saturated artwork by keeping large adjacent surfaces relatively simple, allowing the mural wallpapers to anchor the entire room.

• Pair with warm, mid-tone timber dining tables or painted cabinetry in neutral cream or deep olive green to ground the energetic palette.
• Keep surrounding chairs and bar stools clean in form, favouring simple silhouettes with painted finishes or matte metals that echo the print's mid-century aesthetic.
• Incorporate subtle retro accents, such as ribbed glassware or simple ceramic tableware, to reinforce the vintage bistro feel without overcrowding the space.

Colour combinations

The print features a lively mix of saffron orange, warm yellow, deep red, vibrant teal, crisp cream, and green. When planning adjacent walls and joinery, we suggest pulling directly from these tones. Soft cream or warm off-white on neighbouring walls keeps the room feeling open while letting the tin motif take centre stage. For trim, cabinetry, or accent furniture, a deep teal or rich forest green creates a cohesive, design-led dialogue with the graphic elements in the artwork.
