Wallpaper - Daffodils on The Window Sill

Our Daffodils on The Window Sill wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, captures a quiet still life with a distinctive painterly character. Two bright yellow daffodils with rich orange centres sit in a clear glass jar filled with water, positioned on a windowsill. The arrangement is framed against a deep navy blue background warmed on one side by a golden glow, while soft reflections play along the glass to reveal the green stems resting inside. Produced as a made-to-measure design, this PVC-free wallpaper introduces an intimate botanical focus with a gentle, hand-drawn feel.

In the room

We find this design works exceptionally well when treated as a dedicated focal point. Because the motif is arranged as a single still-life scene rather than a small, repeating geometric pattern, it naturally suits a feature wall where the composition remains largely unobstructed. In a dining room or kitchen dining nook, placing this mural wallpaper behind a bench or table allows the windowsill perspective to ground the room. It also brings a warm, contemplative feel to a bedroom wall behind the bed, or as an inviting backdrop in a quiet study, library, or guest room where the dark navy backdrop creates an enveloping mood.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the visual centrepiece, we suggest pairing it with quiet, unpretentious interior elements. Simple wooden furniture in natural oak, warm pine, or painted timber suits the rustic cottage aesthetic of the illustration without competing for attention.

For surrounding furnishings, mid-century modern or traditional silhouettes with clean profiles keep the room grounded. Choosing understated, woven textiles such as unbleached linen or textured wool curtains complements the painterly style of the artwork while maintaining a balanced, relaxed atmosphere across the wider space.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on the rich interplay between deep navy blue, warm golden yellow, vibrant orange, and fresh leaf green. When choosing colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in joinery, we suggest working with either the darker or the warmer notes in the palette:

• Deep ink or muted midnight blues on adjacent walls or trim echo the background and give the room an intimate, cohesive depth.
• Warm off-white, soft cream, or pale biscuit shades provide a clean, gentle contrast that brightens the surrounding space while keeping the yellow petals prominent.
• Muted mustard, ochre, or mossy green accents in cushions, ceramics, or lampshades pick up on the floral details without overwhelming the interior.
