Wallpaper - The Toast of Paris

Our vintage-inspired The Toast of Paris wallpaper pairs detailed historical illustration with a dark, weathered backdrop. The central artwork highlights a classic Château Verzenay champagne bottle from Montagne de Reims, framed by ornate linework, traditional typography, and a distinct fleur-de-lis seal. Rendered in bone white tones against a deep, textured dark ground, the composition captures the visual spirit of nineteenth-century French etchings. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and bring an authentic graphic heritage to your interior.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a dining room or an intimate kitchen dining nook, where the culinary subject matter feels right at home. Because the dark background creates a strong visual contrast with the bone white bottle artwork, we like giving this mural wallpaper a dedicated feature wall, such as behind a dining table or alongside a home bar setup. In compact spaces or rooms with lower ceilings, keeping the mural on a single uninterrupted wall anchors the space without overwhelming the overall layout.

Styling it

To complement the nineteenth-century etching style and deep background tones, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with classic dark wood furniture, such as a rich mahogany or walnut dining table. Simple brass accents in cabinet hardware or wall sconces pick up the vintage character of the design, while unpatterned bone or linen seat cushions help mirror the light linework in the bottle illustration.

Colour combinations

The palette of our design centres on a deep, distressed dark background contrasted with crisp bone white etched details. On surrounding walls, we recommend pairing this with warm off-whites or soft stone shades to maintain a light balance throughout the room. If you prefer a moodier, heritage-led aesthetic, a deep charcoal, near-black, or rich slate grey on adjacent walls and woodwork creates a striking, unified backdrop.
