Wallpaper - When The Treats Come Out

Our When The Treats Come Out wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch features a close-up portrait of an inquisitive cat with striking green eyes, a pink nose, and its tongue playfully caught mid-lick. Rendered in a lively hand-drawn style with fine marker-like detailing, the calico fur brings together warm brown, white, and black tones against a deep navy blue background. The strong contrast between the deep backdrop and the expressive portrait creates a bold, characterful focal point. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the close-up scale and expressive portrait format, we see this wall mural working particularly well as a dedicated feature wall. In a living room, placing the design behind a low sofa or along a main accent wall allows the full character of the cat's expression to anchor the space. It also brings an energetic, playful presence to a playroom, teenage room, or home study, where a single prominent wall can handle a stronger graphic statement. For a creative art studio or a powder room, the bold navy backdrop creates an enveloping feel while giving the warm fur tones room to stand out without competing with multiple architectural breaks.

Styling it

To let the personality of the portrait lead the space, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded and contemporary. Clean-lined pieces in warm wood tones, such as natural oak or walnut, echo the brown hues within the cat's fur and soften the graphic contrast of the navy background.

For textiles and accent seating, mid-century modern or eclectic maximalist shapes work nicely alongside the playful character of the motif. Choosing matte finishes and solid-colour upholstery prevents surrounding elements from competing with the detailed linework of the whiskers and fur.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep navy blue, crisp white, soft pink, vivid green, and earthy brown and black tones.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, drawing out the navy creates a dramatic, cohesive envelope that makes the room feel intentional and rich. If you prefer a lighter look, a soft off-white or light warm grey on adjacent walls balances the deep ground of the mural while highlighting the white fur in the face. For decorative accessories, cushions, or small accent pieces, picking up on the lively green of the eyes or the gentle pink of the nose adds subtle, cheerful colour ties throughout the interior.
