Wallpaper - Reflections of a Morning Coffee

In our Reflections of a Morning Coffee wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, a glossy teal ceramic cup and matching saucer take centre stage against a serene, soft blue backdrop. Filled with rich black coffee topped with delicate, warm bubbles, the illustrated composition catches soft highlights along the curved rim and handle. The cool blue and teal palette balances graphic clarity with a calm, contemporary mood. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in dining areas, kitchens, and dedicated breakfast nooks where morning routines naturally unfold. The bold scale of the central cup makes it an engaging focal point, so we would place it on a relatively open wall where the full composition remains unobstructed by tall cabinetry or heavy furniture. In an open-plan kitchen and dining space, or even in a modern home office, it creates an inviting visual anchor above a dining table, side counter, or low sideboard without overwhelming the surrounding room.

Styling it

Because the artwork features strong graphic forms and distinct teal tones, we suggest keeping nearby furniture clean-lined and understated. Smooth painted cabinetry, simple contemporary seating, and matte black or brushed metal accents help mirror the graphic lines of the illustration while letting the mural remain the primary visual statement.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper combines cool teal, soft powder blue, deep coffee tones, and warm creamy highlights in the froth. To build a cohesive palette around it, consider pairing the mural with soft off-whites, pale blue-grey walls, or deeper charcoal accents in your joinery and hardware. Natural pale wood finishes also introduce a subtle, gentle contrast that balances the cool blue tones of the artwork.
