Wallpaper - Roland Sardinas

Our Roland Sardinas wallpaper brings a playful, graphic energy to the wall with its vintage-inspired sardine tin packaging design. Created by Studio Mandariini, the motif centres on bold typography and detailed black and white ink sardine illustrations set against contrasting panels of popping pink and vibrant aquamarine blue. The clear graphic structure and nostalgic advertising layout create an eye-catching focal point that feels both quirky and design-led. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper murals, our designs are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a characterful accent in a kitchen or dining space. Because the tin-label motif has strong horizontal framing and central graphic weight, giving it an open, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the typographic details and retro packaging lines to be appreciated in full. In a lively kitchen or eat-in dining nook, it creates an immediate conversation piece without needing overly complex surrounding decor. The contrast between the crisp monochrome linework and the bright background panels brings plenty of visual rhythm to daytime light, while warmer evening lighting softens the pink and blue tones nicely.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer to let the bold graphic character lead the room while balancing it with simpler, contemporary elements.

Clean modern cabinetry or painted furniture in neutral tones keeps the focus squarely on the wall mural, while eclectic maximalist touches such as framed kitchen art or colourful glassware can echo its playful spirit. To maintain balance, we would avoid competing high-contrast patterns nearby and instead choose smooth worktops, simple ceramic tiles, or natural light timber that grounds the vibrant retro palette.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around vivid aquamarine blue and popping pink, anchored by crisp black and white ink details.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm creams, or pale chalky greys keep the surrounding space bright without competing with the central colours. If you want a more saturated, immersive look, pairing the mural wallpapers with a deep ink blue or a muted teal pulled from the background tones will frame the design cleanly and give the room extra depth.
