Wallpaper - Pasta

Our Pasta wallpaper by Michael Clark brings the spontaneous energy of an illustrated culinary still life directly to your walls. Rendered in a fluid watercolour and ink style, the composition features kitchen essentials including an olive oil bottle, cheese grater, stock pot, polka-dot jug, stovetop espresso maker, pan, and a hanging braid of garlic alongside loose pasta shapes. Bright sunny yellow accents pop against a soft cream and washed background, anchored by Mediterranean blues and hand-lettered kitchen notes. Printed as PVC-free, made-to-measure mural wallpapers on slightly structured paper, this design provides an artistic and cheerful statement for culinary spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a kitchen, dining room, or a dedicated pantry where food preparation and shared meals take centre stage. Because the artwork functions like a large-scale illustrative vignette, it makes an engaging feature wall beside a dining table, along a breakfast nook, or on an open kitchen wall. The loose, painterly spacing gives the individual kitchen items plenty of breathing room, meaning the motif does not overwhelm smaller dining areas while still holding enough visual character to define an open-plan cooking and living space.

Styling it

To complement the retro mid-century aesthetic of the illustration, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, functional furnishings. Warm timber dining furniture or painted cabinetry in crisp off-white helps balance the lively yellow and blue brushstrokes without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding shelving open and displaying plain ceramic dinnerware or clear glass jars reinforces the relaxed culinary atmosphere. We recommend opting for understated matte finishes on surrounding surfaces so the painterly ink outlines and bright watercolour washes remain the focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a soft cream and pale blue wash base, punctuated by lively lemon yellow, cobalt blue, teal, and charcoal ink accents. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a warm buttermilk cream or soft off-white creates a seamless, natural extension of the background. If you want to highlight the cooler notes in the illustration, introducing elements of cornflower blue or muted slate grey through cabinetry, tiles, or seating creates a cohesive and balanced palette.
