Wallpaper - Citrus Glow

Our Citrus Glow wallpaper brings together a vibrant still-life composition with bold colour contrast and painterly character. Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, the design features sliced citrus fruit resting against a backdrop of broad blue and white stripes. Rich orange and amber tones in the fruit segments are highlighted by crisp white accents and a subtle green rind, while the deep blue shadows and patterned cloth beneath add structure to the scene. The hand-painted look and expressive brushstrokes give the motif an inviting, artistic quality. Our wall murals are made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a dining area or kitchen where its warm citrus tones and fresh blue palette bring immediate character to the space. Because the artwork functions as a large, focused still-life composition, we would give it a prominent, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full detail of the fruit and striped background can be appreciated without being heavily broken up.

In a bright, open-plan dining space, the design creates a natural visual anchor behind a table or seating nook. The contrast between warm orange and cool cobalt blue gives the wall presence, making it well suited to an accent wall in spaces where you want the wallpaper to set the tone.

Styling it

To balance the bold composition and saturated colours of the design, we would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm timber or clean white surfaces to echo the light tones in the striped background and fruit highlights.
• Introduce dark navy or deep cobalt accents in dining chairs, shelving, or pendant lighting to pick up the strong blue elements in the print.
• Keep nearby walls and large surfaces in quiet, neutral shades so the mural remains the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a striking complementary palette of vibrant orange, warm amber, and deep cobalt blue, balanced by clean white and cool grey-blue shadows. A soft touch of mint green along the citrus rind adds a subtle fresh accent.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, crisp off-white or soft alabaster provides a clean backdrop that lets the blue stripes stand out. For a more dramatic and cohesive look, adjacent walls or cabinetry painted in deep navy or slate blue will draw out the rich background tones of the motif.
