Hey there!
Just thought we'd share a quick round-up of our latest colourways and variations on customer faves, plus new solids and fresh looks for summer 2026 and beyond.
Solid colours
Make every shoot stand out with these ready-to-buy solid colour vinyls. There are 16 block colours to choose from, including some seriously eye-watering shades like Vivid Yellow and Vivid Fuchsia. These product photography backdrops are ideal for everything from beauty brands to food packaging.
Two new gradients
We’ve also added two gorgeous gradients in orange and pink. These scroll-stopping graduated shades work beautifully with drinks and cocktails. Plus they’re made from our premium waterproof vinyl, so spills and splashes are never a problem.
Summer patterns
We’re obsessed with stripes this summer, so we’ve added two more designs to our vertical stripe food styling surfaces. Playful, upbeat and tapping into the stripey micro-trend that's everywhere right now.
Bonbon, Sherbet and Cassis
Bonbon’s mid and pale blues create a classic look with a playful feel. Sherbet offers a summery, citrus-inspired palette that conjures up vintage deckchairs and sun awnings, while Cassis brings a rich blackcurrant-purple that’s ideal for summer fruit flat lays, desserts and chocolate.
Acapulco
With a Mediterranean-meets-Mexico vibe, Acapulco brings subtle '80s/'90s poolside holiday nostalgia with its light blue-over-aqua geometric pattern. We especially love this one as a beauty product photography backdrop for sun creams, tanning products and summer haircare. All designs look great with a single subject, or can be layered up with colourful props and fabrics for full-on dopamine styling.
New wood panel-effect designs
Create luxury looks without the location! We’ve added two new colours to complement our bestselling Dove and Amsterdam vinyl photography backdrops.
Marais and Bordeaux
Marais' rich dark navy evokes a bar in a private members club or high end restaurant. Bordeaux is warm, dramatic and quietly luxurious, inspired by the deep red tones of aged French wine.
Nordic and Madeline
Inspired by our bestselling Apres, Nordic is created from real pine panelling and is perfect for those cosy café moments. And last but definitely not least, there's Madeline. A smart greige wood panel we shot in Paris last November, also available in Turene, a soft sage green. Understated and timeless, it's one of those designs that works exceptionally well as a luxury product photography backdrop.
