Wallpaper - The Day Begins

In this mural wallpaper, Kate Jarvik Birch captures an overhead view of a rich cup of black coffee resting on a vibrant red saucer with a silver spoon. What we particularly like about our design is the bold, painted-looking graphic style, combining crisp brushwork, glossy highlights on the ceramic cup, and delicate bubbles across the coffee crema against a calm, sky-blue background. The high-contrast palette and large-scale focal motif give the composition an energetic, contemporary character. Our made-to-measure wallpapers are printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing distinct visual personality to an accent wall.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a kitchen, dining area, or a home breakfast nook where its cheerful morning theme fits the everyday rhythm of the space. Because the coffee cup and saucer form a single, focused visual statement, we would give our wall murals a central, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be enjoyed without heavy interference. In an open-plan kitchen and dining room, placing the design on a feature wall near a dining table or breakfast bar establishes a lively gathering point.

Styling it

The graphic style and confident primary contrasts pair effortlessly with clean, modern furniture and cheerful retro touches. We would keep the surrounding layout uncluttered to let the artwork take centre stage, choosing simple dining chairs or counter stools with slim profiles. Matte ceramics, glossy tableware, and polished chrome accents echo the painted highlights on the spoon and cup without competing with the illustration.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep espresso browns, crisp whites, and vivid cherry reds, balanced by the cool, solid sky-blue backdrop. When decorating around this wallpaper, we suggest pulling in creamy off-white or soft pale blue tones on neighbouring walls and cabinetry to keep the room light and cohesive. For a more graphic look, subtle accents in deep charcoal or warm tomato red in seat cushions, light fixtures, or tableware tie back directly into the motif.
