Wallpaper - Found A Way Out

Our Found A Way Out wallpaper mural brings playful character to a room with an expressive portrait of a tabby cat peering through a torn paper opening. Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, the artwork combines warm ginger, terracotta, and amber coat tones with luminous green-gold eyes against a soft, pale blue-grey background. The painted visual texture captures fine whiskers and subtle brushstrokes, creating an eye-catching focal point. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of the bold, central composition and trompe l'œil torn-opening effect, we see this working best on a feature wall where the cat motif has breathing room. It makes a charming addition to a living room, bedroom, home office, or hallway where you want an unexpected, personality-rich accent. We suggest placing it on a wall that is not overly blocked by tall bookcases or wardrobes so the full portrait and the illusion around it remain clearly visible.

Styling it

When styling around this mural wallpaper, we recommend balancing the vibrant cat portrait with relatively calm, understated furnishings.

• Warm wood tones such as oak or mid-toned timber echo the golden and reddish fur highlights naturally.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and rugs in quiet, neutral shades like soft oatmeal, cream, or light grey so the artwork remains the primary focal point.
• Clean-lined modern or vintage furniture shapes work nicely to complement the illustrative, painterly style without feeling cluttered.

Colour combinations

The motif centres on warm ginger, chestnut, soft peach, and cream fur tones, accented by a rose-pink nose, vivid green eyes, and cool grey-blue shadows around the torn edge. For adjacent walls and trim, muted off-whites, pale sky blue, or light warm greys create a soft background that lets the central figure stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich terracotta or warm charcoal accent in surrounding accessories picks up the darker markings of the coat.
