Wallpaper - Gateau Chocolat

Designed by Sue Schlabach, our Gateau Chocolat wallpaper brings a delightfully charming, culinary character into the home. The design features a watercolour-style illustration of a rich three-layer chocolate cake slice with smooth frosting and chocolate curls, accompanied by two vibrant red raspberries resting on a soft pink polka-dot napkin. In the background, a bakery-style parcel wrapped in light kraft paper and tied with a striped baker's twine bears the hand-lettered text "GATEAU CHOCOLAT" across a soft blue ribbed panel. Set against a clean, off-white backdrop, this mural wallpaper offers a nostalgic touch of vintage French patisserie styling. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an inviting feature wall in a kitchen or dining room. The central placement and generous white space around the illustrated motif allow it to anchor a breakfast nook, a wall beside a pantry, or the space adjacent to a dining table without overwhelming the room. Because the composition has an open background, it keeps smaller dining spaces feeling airy while adding personality and warmth.

Styling it

To complement the nostalgic patisserie feel of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with warm painted cabinetry or classic timber dining furniture. Vintage-inspired ceramic tableware, natural linen tea towels, or rustic wire kitchen storage echo the bakery charm of the illustration. Keeping surrounding accents relatively understated allows the playful details of the cake slice and parcel to remain the clear visual focal point.

Colour combinations

The motif combines deep cocoa and mocha browns with soft pink, berry red, paper kraft tones, and pale French blue against a light, clean backdrop. Around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing these tones with warm off-white, soft cream, or muted biscuit on adjacent walls to maintain a bright atmosphere. For cabinetry or accents, subtle dusty rose, pastel blue, or deeper espresso brown create a lovely, cohesive connection to the artwork.
