Wallpaper - Tuxedo Cat Nap

Our Tuxedo Cat Nap wallpaper brings together charming animal illustration and classic pattern, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch. The composition centres on a sleeping black-and-white tuxedo cat resting across a soft stack of striped cushions. Painted in delicate watercolour tones of green, crisp white, and deep black, the motif balances graphic line work with gentle, painterly shading. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is produced made to measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that hangs cleanly and straightforwardly in any room.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces meant for rest and quiet everyday moments. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design on the wall behind the headboard gives the sleeping cat motif a natural focal point without overwhelming the surrounding space. The linear rhythm of the striped cushions also lends structure to living rooms, studies, and home offices, where a feature wall can introduce character behind a desk or sofa.

Because the watercolour style has a light and airy feel, our mural wallpapers in this palette adapt easily to different room sizes. In a smaller den, study, or teenage room, the green and white stripes help draw the eye upward and across the wall, making compact corners feel deliberate and welcoming.

Styling it

The combination of illustrated charm and striped geometry gives this design a lot of flexibility when styling your space.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted furniture in soft off-white or muted sage to echo the tonal stripes in the artwork.
• Introduce dark, crisp accents such as charcoal metal lamps or matte black picture frames to connect with the deep tones of the tuxedo cat.
• Keep surrounding bedding and upholstery simple, choosing solid textures rather than competing multi-coloured patterns so the wall motif remains the focal element.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on fresh greens, clean white, and contrasting black. When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls and trim, softer neutrals work best. We particularly like pairing this design with chalky off-whites, pale sage, or soft olive on neighbouring surfaces. If you want a more grounded look in a library or study, deeper forest green on skirting boards and doors creates a handsome frame around the motif.
