Wallpaper - Dicey and Spicy

Our Dicey and Spicy wallpaper, created by Yvette St. Amant, brings together painted chili peppers and playful typography against a deep navy blue background. Green and rich red peppers are depicted in soft, watercolour-inspired detail alongside delicate seeds and stems, creating an expressive composition that balances warmth with crisp contrast. We make this design as made-to-measure wallpaper, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang while introducing character to a focal wall.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a kitchen or a dining room, where the food-inspired motif feels right at home. Because the deep navy ground creates a distinct visual anchor, the design performs particularly well on an accent wall behind a dining table, a breakfast nook, or along an open kitchen wall. In open-plan living and dining areas, using this mural wallpaper on a single defined surface helps zone the eating space without demanding that every adjoining wall carry pattern. The balanced repeat gives the chili motifs plenty of breathing room, ensuring the artwork feels decorative and inviting rather than crowded.

Styling it

When styling around our Dicey and Spicy design, we like pairing it with materials that balance its rich background and vivid botanical tones:

• Introduce warm wood furniture, such as a dining table or open shelving in honey or mid-oak tones, to pick up on the warmth of the red peppers.
• Keep cabinetry and larger surrounding furniture relatively unadorned, allowing the graphic lettering and pepper motifs to remain the visual centrepiece.
• Choose understated ceramic tableware or simple matte brass hardware to echo the warm accents in the motif without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design centres on a deep navy base accented by vibrant red, fresh leafy green, and soft neutral seeds. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, we recommend pulling directly from these elements. A crisp warm white or pale stone on surrounding walls keeps the room feeling bright and open while letting the navy background stand out. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping atmosphere, a complementary dark blue or muted forest green on neighbouring surfaces creates a seamless, grounded backdrop.
