Wallpaper - Tinned Trio

Our Tinned Trio wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch brings playful culinary nostalgia to the wall with a painterly pop art aesthetic. The design depicts an opened vintage sardine tin showing three little fish tucked neatly beside their peeled-back metal lid and key, painted in rich oil paint textures against a warm rose pink background. Bold touches of cherry red, bright yellow, silver-grey, and deep navy lend the graphic composition a spirited, retro feel. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a striking focal point full of personality.

In the room

Because of its bold pop-art scale and graphic motif, we love using this design where it can become an immediate conversation piece. It feels right at home in a kitchen, breakfast nook, or pantry, where the food illustration adds wit and colour to everyday dining spaces. In an entryway, cloakroom, or powder room, wallpapering a compact wall with this motif creates an unexpected burst of character that welcomes guests. It also works wonderfully across an accent wall in a creative home office, dining room, or eclectic living space where you want to introduce an artistic, slightly irreverent mood without overwhelming the entire interior.

Styling it

The vintage culinary style of this wallpaper pairs naturally with eclectic, retro, and contemporary interiors. To let the painted artwork take centre stage, we suggest styling it alongside simple mid-century or modern furniture shapes. Warm wood finishes like walnut, teak, or honeyed oak echo the nostalgic feel of the piece, while crisp painted cabinetry in navy or soft off-white grounds the wall. You can also introduce understated stainless steel or chrome fittings to mirror the metallic sheen of the illustrated tin can.

Colour combinations

The design is defined by its warm dusty rose pink backdrop, contrasted with deep navy, silver-grey, vibrant red, and sunny yellow accents within the sardine tin. When choosing surrounding wall paints or cabinetry, soft blush tones, muted greiges, or warm chalk whites allow the wallpaper to blend effortlessly into the room. If you prefer a bolder, more contrasting scheme, rich navy blue, deep plum, or terracotta on adjacent walls or trim will pick up the darker tones of the illustration and add dramatic depth.
