Wallpaper - Vintage Summer III

Our Vintage Summer III wallpaper brings together playful holiday motifs in a light, watercolour-inspired style. Created by Leslie Trimbach, the pattern features teal swim shorts with an orange stripe and yellow drawstring, green flip-flops, a red ice lolly, and a teal swim ring, balanced by scattered green palm leaves across an off-white ground. What we particularly like is how the breezy composition creates an open, relaxed visual rhythm that does not feel overcrowded on a wall. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle structure in the paper, it makes a distinctive focal point in both family homes and holiday retreats.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in casual, high-energy spaces where a lighthearted visual character feels right at home. In a children's playroom or a teenage room, the spread-out summer objects introduce colour and movement without overwhelming the room. Because the individual elements are spaced across a pale backdrop, our wall murals can work across a full feature wall behind a desk, low shelving, or a bed, allowing parts of the pattern to show through naturally between furniture pieces.

For a summer house, lake house, or poolhouse bathroom, the motif sets a sunny, laid-back tone. If you are decorating a compact bathroom or cloakroom, you could wrap multiple walls in the wallpaper to create an inviting, playful space, while in larger open-plan family areas, keeping it to a single uninterrupted wall lets the illustrated items retain their graphic clarity.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed, mid-century graphic feel of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furnishings that keep the room grounded.

• Natural, lighter wood furniture such as pale oak, birch, or woven rattan balances the warm-weather feel of the design without competing with its colours.
• Plain cotton or linen fabrics in muted sand, ivory, or unbleached tones allow the bright pops of teal, red, and orange in the pattern to lead the visual story.
• Low-profile storage and minimal floating shelves help keep the wall open so the scattered objects remain fully visible.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a distinct palette of rich teal, leaf green, warm red, and bright orange accents set against an airy off-white background.

When choosing paint for surrounding surfaces, we like pulling out the warm off-white from the ground of the wallpaper for adjacent walls and woodwork to maintain a bright, coherent look. For painted furniture or cabinetry, a deep teal or forest green anchors the space and echoes the darker tones in the palm leaves and swim ring. If you prefer a warmer, slightly retro contrast, subtle terracotta, warm sand, or muted apricot tones on soft furnishings connect naturally with the orange and red details.
