Wallpaper - Single Teardrop

Our Single Teardrop wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, centers on a close-up painted study of a human eye. Within the iris, rippling shades of teal, blue, and yellow contrast against a deep pupil, while fine lash details and soft pink and brown skin tones frame a glistening teardrop. The expressive paint-and-marker style gives the composition an immediate, striking presence on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpaper with a subtle structure in the paper, this design brings contemporary art directly into your interior.

In the room

Because the motif operates on a dramatic, large scale, we see it working particularly well as a focal point in a living room, bedroom, or dressing room. Placing this mural wallpaper on an uninterrupted feature wall, such as behind a sofa or along the main wall of a creative studio or teenage bedroom, gives the close-up composition room to breathe without being cut off by tall furniture. In spaces with softer ambient lighting, the darker pupils and fine linework anchor the room, while generous daylight reveals the subtle color shifts across the iris.

Styling it

• Anchor the wall with streamlined contemporary furniture in clean silhouettes, letting the expressive eye motif serve as the primary visual focus in the space.
• Introduce understated textiles in neutral linen or soft wool to balance the energetic detail and saturated tones of the artwork.
• Select matte black metal fixtures or slim picture frames elsewhere in the room to echo the defined line work of the eyelashes and pupil.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a vivid palette of teal, deep blue, yellow, and soft pink and brown skin tones. When decorating the surrounding space, we suggest pulling out muted teal or dusty blue for accent cushions, throws, or adjacent painted surfaces. Soft off-whites, warm tans, or pale beige on adjacent walls let the rich iris colors stand out without visual competition.
