Wallpaper - Still Warm

Our Still Warm wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, brings a painterly still life perspective to the wall with an intimate gouache-style depiction of a teacup resting on a saucer. We particularly like the balance between the amber, tea-toned liquid inside the porcelain cup and the expressive red decorative banding along the rim and saucer edge. Crisp lavender-blue shadows, creamy porcelain highlights, and a warm terracotta-and-white striped background create a grounded, graphic composition. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle physical structure in the paper, this design provides a distinct artistic focal point for your interior.

In the room

We see our Still Warm design working especially well as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining room, or a relaxed breakfast nook where its subject matter feels right at home. Because the motif is an expressive, large-scale close-up, we recommend giving this mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall area, such as behind a dining table or above low kitchen counters, where the full painted composition can be appreciated without being split by tall cabinetry. The interplay between warm terracotta tones and cool periwinkle shadows also responds beautifully to soft morning light, which highlights the delicate brushwork and reflective white ceramic accents.

Styling it

When styling around this wallpaper, we would balance its illustrative character with simple, tactile elements that echo its domestic warmth. Natural mid-tone woods like beech or warm oak in dining tables and chairs complement the warm background stripes, while unvarnished finishes keep the overall feel casual and modern. For surrounding furniture and accessories, we suggest choosing clean silhouettes in off-white or matte ceramic to allow the rich red accents and painted details in the artwork to remain the central feature of the room.

Colour combinations

The motif itself combines rich amber and tea-brown tones with bold terracotta red, soft lavender-blue shadow tones, and crisp porcelain white. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, we would pair adjacent walls with soft chalky neutrals, warm off-whites, or gentle stone tones that match the light background sections. If you prefer a stronger, more enveloping palette, picking up the terracotta and rust notes on adjacent trim, woodwork, or built-in shelving creates an intimate, considered look.
