Wallpaper - Clear Cocktail With Lemon

Our Clear Cocktail With Lemon wallpaper brings a bold, painterly still life directly onto the wall, created by Kate Jarvik Birch. The composition centres on a clear drink filled with ice cubes and a bright citrus lemon slice, captured in an oil paint style with visible, expressive brushstrokes. Set against a deep teal and navy backdrop, the glassware casts colourful reflections and luminous highlights across the surface beneath it. The lively contrast between vibrant yellow, cool blues, and saturated teal gives the design an energetic yet balanced visual presence. Printed as a custom made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a distinct, art-led focal point for modern interiors.

In the room

This is one of our mural wallpapers that naturally commands attention, making it particularly effective on an accent wall where the full visual scale of the glass and citrus can be appreciated without heavy interruption. We see it working beautifully across a dedicated dining room wall, in a lively kitchen nook, or behind a home bar setup where food and drink themes feel right at home.

Because the artwork features strong dark tones balanced by high-contrast lemon highlights, it holds its depth exceptionally well under warm evening lighting while staying crisp in direct daylight. In a summer house or open-plan living room, giving the mural a clean, dedicated expanse allows the painterly details and reflected light to create an inviting, social atmosphere.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest letting the artwork lead the room while keeping surrounding elements tactile and intentional.

• Pair the deep teal and blue backdrop with warm, mid-tone timber furniture to soften the contrast and add natural warmth to the space.
• Introduce understated glassware, ceramic tableware, or sleek brass accents that echo the light-catching qualities of the painted cocktail.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and soft furnishings in relatively quiet, solid tones so the expressive brushwork remains the main focal element in the room.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by rich navy and deep teal, enlivened by vibrant lemon yellow, icy whites, and subtle watery blue reflections. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, pulling a muted teal or deep blue from the background creates a cohesive, enveloping feel. Alternatively, crisp warm off-whites provide a clean border that makes the citrus yellow pop with even greater clarity.
