Wallpaper - Just Resting My Eyes

Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, our Just Resting My Eyes wallpaper brings together expressive figurative art and confident colour contrast. The composition centres on a reclining figure in a vivid red dress and matching heels, draped across a sleek teal sofa against a muted, dark backdrop. Painted with fluid, watercolour-like brushwork, the piece balances bold pop-art vibrancy with a quiet, relaxed posture. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure for your specific room dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure that adds depth to the finished wall.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large-scale figurative artwork, we think it works best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full sofa and reclining silhouette can be seen without heavy visual breaks. In a spacious living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa or along a main focal wall immediately establishes an artistic, gallery-inspired presence.

It also adapts wonderfully to more intimate residential settings. In a bedroom or a dedicated dressing room, the calm posture of the subject sets a restful tone, while the bold saturation keeps the atmosphere sophisticated and distinct. In an entryway or hallway, where walls are often free of large furniture pieces, the horizontal composition creates an immediate visual statement as you move through the space.

Styling it

The rich contrast between the red and teal gives you clear cues for surrounding furniture and decor. We suggest leaning into mid-century modern or contemporary silhouettes, choosing pieces with clean lines and low profiles so they complement rather than compete with the visual weight of the mural.

To balance the strong chromatic energy of the scene, consider pairing it with warmer natural woods, such as walnut or rich teak, which ground the space without adding unnecessary visual clutter. Keeping larger textiles relatively simple, such as unpatterned upholstery and quietly textured drapes, allows the bold painted forms in the wallpaper to remain the clear hero of your interior.

Colour combinations

The dominant palette in our wallpaper relies on the striking interplay between saturated primary red and deep teal blue, balanced by the muted, shadowy tones of the background.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, deep navy, blackened teal, or charcoal can create a dramatic, cohesive environment that extends the moody backdrop across the entire room. If you prefer a lighter, more open contrast, soft warm greys or muted off-whites on adjacent walls let the red and teal elements stand out with crisp definition. For accent pieces, echoing small touches of crimson or rich jewel-toned blues across cushions, ceramics, or lampshades helps connect the wall murals with the wider room scheme.
