Wallpaper - Espresso

Our Espresso wallpaper, designed by Kathrine Lovell, brings a bold, retro energy to the wall with its playful 1970s pop art spirit. At the centre sits a vibrant orange espresso cup patterned with red polka dots, resting on a matching saucer filled with rich, dark coffee. Layered around the cup is an expressive background of brick red, warm brown, and contrasting blue tones, accented by paisley details, painted graphic textures, and the word "Espresso" rendered in a flowing orange script. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wall murals are easy to hang and make a spirited focal point in your interior.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in a kitchen, dining room, or a dedicated coffee corner where its graphic theme feels right at home. Because the motif features a strong central subject and lively surrounding patterns, it makes an excellent feature wall behind a dining table, breakfast bar, or banquette seating. In an open-plan kitchen and living space, placing the wallpaper along one defined wall helps anchor the dining or prep area, giving the room a warm, cafe-inspired charm. For a creative home office or living room, it offers a confident burst of colour and personality that instantly enlivens quieter corners.

Styling it

The 1970s revival aesthetic of our design pairs naturally with vintage and retro-inspired interiors, as well as eclectic, contemporary spaces. We recommend balancing the vibrant palette by introducing warm timber furniture, such as a teak or walnut dining table, which echoes the deeper brown and brick tones within the artwork. To keep the visual focus on the wallpaper, consider simpler seating silhouettes with clean lines or mid-century curves. Smooth ceramics, matte black hardware, or painted cabinetry in deep navy or terracotta will ground the space without competing with the playful pattern.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by warm brick red, vivid orange, deep coffee brown, and touches of contrasting blue. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, pulling out the deeper brick or earthy brown tones creates an inviting, unified feel. If you prefer a lighter backdrop that lets the wall mural stand out, a soft warm cream or muted clay tone on surrounding surfaces provides a clean, comfortable contrast. For a bolder look, a rich blue drawn from the patterned details can be used on lower cabinets or dining chairs to highlight the cool accents in the print.
