Wallpaper - Vintage Summer I

Our Vintage Summer I wallpaper brings together a sun-drenched coastal scene by creator Leslie Trimbach, capturing the easy mood of a warm day by the sea. The composition frames a sandy shoreline and calm blue water beneath gently hanging palm fronds, anchored by classic holiday details: a striped beach bag in red, yellow, green, and white, a woven straw hat, sunglasses, a beach ball, and an iced drink with lemon and mint. Rendered with a soft, watercolour-inspired painted look against a popping coral-toned ground, this mural wallpaper adds a vivid, playful focal point to the room. Like all Wallism wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a feature wall where the full illustrated beach vignette has space to unfold without being interrupted by high furniture. In a living room, summer house, or dedicated holiday home, positioning the wall mural behind a low sofa or seating area keeps the shoreline and foreground accessories in clear view. The warm coral backdrop and calm blue tones also suit creative spaces, children's bedrooms, or a bright hallway where you want an energetic, cheerful presence as you walk through. Because the artwork has distinct upper framing through the palm leaves and a grounded composition below, it naturally draws the eye across the entire height of the wall.

Styling it

To let the illustrative character of our wall mural stand out, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively simple and relaxed in form.

• Pair the scene with light, natural materials such as rattan, bamboo, or blonde timber to echo the woven straw hat and sandy shore in the illustration.
• Choose low-profile furniture and simple upholstery in off-white, unbleached cotton, or soft canvas so the seating area does not compete with the busy beach accessories.
• Incorporate subtle retro accents, like simple mid-century silhouettes or understated ceramic vessels, to harmonise with the vintage summer aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a bold palette built around warm coral and sandy beige, balanced by ocean blue, fresh leafy greens, and bright primary accents in yellow, red, and crisp white. On surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we suggest pulling out softer tones like warm sand, muted ivory, or a gentle off-white to maintain an open and airy feel. If you prefer deeper contrast in your furnishings or textiles, bringing in shades of seafoam, navy, or terracotta creates a direct and natural connection to the colours in the print.
