Wallpaper - Birthday Slice With Cherry

Our Birthday Slice With Cherry wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, brings a playful pop-art sensibility to the wall with the painterly look of an oil painting. The composition centres on a golden-brown slice of layered cake set upon a clean white plate, topped with smooth frosting, whipped cream, and a glossy red cherry alongside a lit striped birthday candle. Set against a deep, dark blue background, the rich contrast gives the motif strong visual presence while keeping the composition graphic and distinct. Produced to order as custom made wallpaper murals, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper featuring a subtle physical structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of the bold scale and graphic composition of this mural wallpaper, we think it works wonderfully as an expressive focal point in a dining room or kitchen dining nook. The deep navy backdrop allows the piece to anchor a room without demanding decorative complexity from surrounding surfaces. In an open-plan kitchen or living area, we would place this design on a feature wall where the entire motif can be viewed from a distance, giving the painted details and playful Americana character plenty of breathing room.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and relatively understated:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm mid-century wood tones or classic painted furniture that echoes the retro 1960s pop-art mood.
• Keep large tabletop surfaces and nearby cabinetry simple and unfussy so they do not compete with the strong central motif.
• Introduce small accents in subtle cherry red, soft cream, or deep blue in everyday tableware or cushions to tie the room together naturally.

Colour combinations

The motif is defined by its deep navy blue background, warm golden-brown cake tones, crisp white frosting, and punchy red cherry accent. On adjacent walls and woodwork, we like using creamy off-whites or soft warm stone tones to soften the contrast against the dark background. For a bolder, more enveloping feel, a deep ink blue on adjacent trims or cabinetry creates a rich, tonal transition that lets the cake slice pop forward vividly.
