Wallpaper - BBQ Zing II

Our BBQ Zing II wallpaper brings mid-century diner graphic art to life with bold humour and 1950s retro flair. Designed by Pela Studio, this graphic motif features a classic red ketchup bottle and a detailed sesame seed hamburger set against a dark checkerboard backdrop, complete with playful starburst accents and the tongue-in-cheek phrase "ME, VEGETARIAN? NO, HAMBURGERIAN!". The warm coral and orange tones create a cheerful, graphic focal point that gives personality to any room. Like all of our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the bold graphic nature and central quote, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining area, or home bar. In a casual dining space or breakfast nook, placing the wallpaper along an uninterrupted wall behind a dining table gives the illustration and typography room to stand out without competing with heavy furniture. For a dedicated entertaining space or basement games area, the high contrast of the dark checkerboard pattern against the bright foreground details anchors the entire seating zone.

Styling it

The 1950s diner aesthetic pairs naturally with vintage mid-century furniture and retro decor elements. We would keep the surrounding layout relaxed and uncluttered, balancing the vibrant typography with simple, clean-lined pieces.

• Simple dark timber or painted black dining chairs help ground the dark tones of the checkerboard pattern.
• Glossy diner-style ceramic tableware or bold enamel accents in primary red and warm yellow echo the pop-art spirit of the illustration.
• Chrome or brushed metal lighting fixtures complement the retro diner feel without overwhelming the visual rhythm of the motif.

Colour combinations

The palette centres around vibrant coral, warm orange, ketchup red, and pops of lettuce green against a dark black-and-charcoal checkerboard. To create a balanced look, we recommend pairing this design with crisp off-white or soft warm grey on adjacent walls. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, taking a dark charcoal or deep graphite tone from the background onto adjacent painted surfaces allows the coral and red illustrations to stand out crisply.
