Wallpaper - Perfect Old Fashioned

Illustrated by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Perfect Old Fashioned wallpaper brings the warmth and vintage character of a classic cocktail into focus. The design features a watercolor-style rendering of an Old Fashioned in a crystal glass, detailed with rich amber liquid, an orange twist, and dark cherries set against a deep navy blue background. The painterly style and rich contrast give the motif an inviting, nostalgic presence on the wall. Made to measure for your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface texture that is easy to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces dedicated to entertaining and unwinding. In a dining room, kitchen, or dedicated home bar nook, the cocktail motif serves as an engaging focal point that sets an intimate, convivial mood. It also suits a relaxed den or a cozy corner of a living room where you want to introduce a touch of retro charm. Because of the strong contrast between the luminous amber tones and the dark navy backdrop, giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the central composition and watercolor details to be fully appreciated.

Styling it

The 1920s Art Deco and Hollywood glam aesthetic of this design pairs naturally with warm finishes and vintage-inspired decor. We would complement the deep tones by incorporating warm wood furniture, such as walnut or dark-stained oak, which echoes the amber glow of the cocktail. Accents in aged brass, polished gold, or smoked glassware help highlight the glamorous character of the motif without competing with its artistic watercolor texture.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on deep navy blue and rich amber, accented by vivid citrus orange and deep cherry red. When decorating around this motif, deep navy or charcoal walls provide a cohesive, enveloping backdrop that lets the artwork stand out. For trim, cabinetry, or surrounding walls, warm neutrals such as cream or warm taupe soften the overall contrast, while muted ochre or rust accents can be used in surrounding furnishings to pick up the warm glow of the drink.
