Wallpaper - Outside the Bar

Our Outside the Bar wallpaper brings an expressive city scene into the home, combining abstract architecture with energetic urban life. Set against neutral buildings rendered in soft beige, black, and grey tones, vibrant cherry red umbrellas create striking points of contrast across the streetscape. Subtle figures in white and red, alongside a parked bicycle, lend an everyday warmth to the composition, while visible brushwork and paint drips give the motif a painterly, impressionistic feel. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural on paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and adds an artistic focal point to your walls.

In the room

We see our Outside the Bar design working particularly well in a living room, where the panoramic streetscape can stretch out across a main feature wall. Because the composition contains vertical architectural lines balanced by lively horizontal movement, giving it an uninterrupted wall behind a sofa allows the full narrative of the scene to unfold without visual disruption. The balance of muted backdrop tones and vivid red accents means the mural can anchor a larger open space while keeping the overall atmosphere moody, nostalgic, and thoughtfully considered.

Styling it

To let the dynamic character of this wallpaper stand out, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, contemporary silhouettes. A tailored sofa in charcoal, deep grey, or warm stone grounds the room nicely and echoes the neutral facade tones within the artwork.

Introducing subtle cherry red or deep rust decorative accents through a throw pillow, ceramic vase, or graphic art book creates an intentional visual connection to the umbrellas in the scene without overwhelming the space. For lighting, warm lamplight placed nearby enhances the richer, earthy undertones in the paintwork during the evening.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper centres on an earthy foundation of soft beige, charcoal, and cool grey, punctuated by bold cherry red.

For adjacent walls and skirting, soft warm off-whites or pale greys provide a quiet, seamless backdrop that lets the mural take centre stage. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping aesthetic, drawing out the deeper charcoal or slate black for architectural trims or shelving creates a striking, framed effect around the street scene.
