Reinforce Branding with Custom Restaurant Wallpaper
We created this custom restaurant wallpaper for the Coop Wicked Chicken, a franchise of the MTY Group.
They brand themselves as an 80s and 90s nostalgia restaurant, and what better way to reinforce branding than with vintage VHS covers of famous movies? Their in-house design team created the artwork with our guidance, but we have a design team on hand for restaurants who need help.
You’ll find this resto wallpaper at several of their locations including Waterdown, Mississauga and Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Enhance a Personal Brand with Restaurant Wall Murals
Creating a personal brand as a restaurant owner is one way to stand apart from the competition. Chef Mo, owner of several Thai restaurants in Toronto and Mississauga, is well-known from her Instagram reels. Creating a restaurant wall mural, using a high resolution photo of herself cooking over a sizzling flame, reinforces her personal brand. The bespoke mural allows new visitors to the restaurant to instantly know they are in the right place as they walk in the door.
Set a Theme with a Restaurant Wallpaper Mural
The Emerald Buffet restaurant in St. Catharines wanted to differentiate themselves from Chinese restaurant buffets. They serve an international menu, so had us custom print a restaurant wallpaper mural featuring famous landmarks from all the countries that inspire their menu.
Create a Unique Background with Italian Restaurant Mural
Feeding mobsters, real and imagined, is what the Trocadero Tavern has done for over 75 years! The “Troc” is an Italian restaurant in Hamilton that was a favourite watering hole for real life mobsters like Johnny “Pops” Papalia – and is now used as a background for mafia movies. The owner wanted to keep to their theme and bring a piece of Italy into the restaurant. She ordered an Italian restaurant mural from us called “Sicily.” The restaurant wallpaper for walls allows diners to enjoy their flavourful meals, and feel like they’re looking out of a window onto a beautiful cobblestone village adorned with bougainvillea flowers.
Make Small Spaces Feel Bigger with a Café Mural
This custom printed café mural, seen on the wall of a Brazilian café in St. Catharines, makes this small space seem much bigger. The expansive design of open sky makes you feel like you can walk into the landscape.
Set the Mood – Wallpaper for Ice Cream Shop
Colour, style and design all set the mood for your space – and you can tailor how you want your customers to feel, using restaurant murals. Take this wallpaper for ice cream shops for example. Spice N Scoop in Kitchener wanted to evoke a playful, nostalgic feeling to their parlour. They opted to purchase our “Ice Cream Cart” wallpaper mural. It feels fun for both children and adults!
Eco Wallpaper for Healthy Restaurants
Healthy restaurants like earth to table, smoothie bars, vegetarian or vegan restaurants market to “green,” sustainable and eco-friendly minded customers. Our eco-friendly wallpaper has NO toxic VOCs, harsh PVCs, chemical laden inks or unsustainable vinyl. It’s printed on recyclable paper made from renewable wood pulp. Let all your customers know you responsibly sourced all construction materials, solidifying your brand values and easing their socially conscious minds!
Stimulate Appetite with Restaurant Interior Wallpaper
What is the most attractive color for the food business? Warm colours, like red and orange, stimulate appetite and can easily be brought into your eatery using restaurant interior wallpaper. Orchard Terrace Care Home, in Stoney Creek, purchased our French Bistro Wallpaper to add a splash of red into their dining room to help stimulate appetites in their Dementia residents. McDonalds, KFC, Wendy’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, Papa Johns – they all use the same colour concept in their logos, interior design and branding because it works.
Tell Your Story on a Restaurant Wall Covering
Tell your origin story or share your mission statement by adding it to a restaurant wall covering. More Thai owner, Mo, shares the inspiration behind her Thai food chain in this custom mural. Wallpaper for restaurant decor doesn’t just have to be patterns or pictures – words add visual interest as well.

50s Diner Wallpaper
The inspiration behind this vintage diner is rooted from mouthwatering childhood dinners at the owner’s grandparent’s house. Eric, the owner of Pete and Kay Restaurant in Hamilton, ordered several of our forest themed 50s diner wallpaper and hung them throughout the venue to whisk customers back to grandma’s dining room. Pictured here is Sunny Autumn Mural, surrounded by vintage furniture.
