Wallpaper - Coffee in Paris

Our Coffee in Paris wallpaper, created by Lovisa Burfitt, brings an expressive fashion illustration to the wall through fluid ink drawing and soft smoke-grey shading. The scene captures a moment of Parisian street life, centring on a chic figure walking a dog past café tables under umbrellas, with a parked bicycle, a bird in flight, and classic domed architecture in the distance. The balance of quick, sketchy ink lines and open neutral space gives the composition an airy, contemporary elegance. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal point in a dressing room, bedroom, or living area where the narrative of the illustration has room to breathe. Because the illustration carries a clear sense of horizon and architectural depth, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted feature wall where key details, such as the café seating and distant dome, remain clearly visible rather than hidden behind tall cabinets. In a bright space with plenty of daylight, the nuanced tonal shifts between pale grey washes and dense black ink strokes stand out with particular clarity.

Styling it

The graphic quality of the black-and-white ink work pairs naturally with contemporary and minimalist interiors. To keep the focus on the artwork, we would balance the expressive lines with clean-lined furniture in understated silhouettes. Modern seating in dark or neutral upholstery anchors the scene without competing with the lively linework. Matte black metal accents, such as a slender floor lamp, a minimalist clothing rail, or simple framing details, echo the ink strokes in the design and help pull the room together.

Colour combinations

The palette in our design relies on crisp black ink, soft smoke greys, and muted neutral undertones. Around the mural, we would pair this motif with adjacent walls painted in chalky off-whites, cool greys, or muted charcoal to maintain a sophisticated monochrome scheme. If you prefer introducing accent colours in surrounding soft furnishings or decorative objects, deep burgundy, muted olive, or warm camel work quietly against the neutral grey base without overwhelming the illustration.
