Wallpaper - Oranges Catching The Light

Our Oranges Catching The Light wallpaper, created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, brings a bold still life composition to the wall. Three juicy orange slices rest on a textured white surface, their rich orange and sunny yellow segments set against a deep navy background. Visible brushstrokes give the motif a hand-painted character with a distinct mid-century modern aesthetic. The striking contrast between the luminous citrus tones and the dark backdrop creates an energetic focal point, making this design especially well suited to kitchens and dining spaces. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and completely PVC-free.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an accent wall in a kitchen, pantry, or dining room where its vibrant subject matter feels right at home. Because the motif features large-scale slices of fruit on an uncluttered navy background, it benefits from an uninterrupted wall area where the full composition can be appreciated without being crowded by tall cabinets. In an open-plan kitchen and dining area, placing this wallpaper along the dining wall creates a distinct visual zone that draws people in. It also brings personality to a home office or living room wall when you want art-led character rather than a repeating pattern.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast of the dark navy and bright citrus tones, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and warm. Mid-century modern sideboards in warm teak or walnut pair naturally with the artistic style of the painting, grounding the rich orange hues. If you prefer a lighter, more contemporary kitchen look, simple painted cabinetry in soft off-white or deep charcoal lets the vibrant fruit stand out as the primary visual feature.

Colour combinations

The design centres on rich orange, coral, and glowing yellow tones anchored by a deep navy blue background and a textured white foreground. For adjacent walls and trim, warm off-whites or soft creams keep the room bright while echoing the painted base beneath the fruit. If you want a more dramatic, enveloping space, pulling the deep navy from the background onto surrounding painted walls or kitchen cabinetry creates a seamless and sophisticated look.
