Wallpaper - Shellfish Social V

Our Shellfish Social V wallpaper, created in collaboration with Veronique Charron, brings together a playful culinary motif with a bold geometric background. At the centre of the composition sits an illustrated platter holding an open oyster and a blue shell accompanied by lemon wedges, framed within painterly blue borderlines. Surrounding this central vignette is a classic red and cream checkerboard pattern that gives the wall mural an energetic, bistro-inspired presence. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love how this design naturally anchors spaces dedicated to gathering, dining, and sharing food. In an open-plan kitchen or dining area, we would place this mural wallpaper on an accent wall behind a dining table or breakfast nook, allowing the central oyster illustration to act as an eye-catching focal point. It also works remarkably well in a compact dining room or a playful hallway where the bold red checkerboard can add warmth and graphic character without overwhelming the room. Because the central motif is contained within a framed border, the wallpaper benefits from a relatively uninterrupted wall area where the whole composition can be seen clearly.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into its relaxed, culinary character while keeping surrounding shapes clean and grounded. Simple mid-century or contemporary dining furniture in natural wood tones pairs effortlessly with the warm red and cream backdrop. We would keep large furniture pieces relatively understated so the wallpaper carries the visual rhythm of the space. Adding subtle decorative ceramics, clear glassware, or simple linen tableware helps echo the casual, table-side atmosphere of the illustration without competing with the lively checkerboard pattern.

Colour combinations

The design is built around vibrant tomato red, warm cream, soft cornflower and periwinkle blues, slate grey, and zesty yellow accents. On adjacent painted walls, soft off-whites, warm creams, or gentle warm greys help maintain a balanced and airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping look, bringing out the deeper tones through surrounding woodwork painted in a muted navy or dark slate blue can create a striking contrast against the warm red checks.
