Wallpaper - Just Resting My Eyes

In this wallpaper created by Kate Jarvik Birch, a figure lounges across a smooth teal sofa in a bold red dress and matching heels, set against a dark background. The composition balances strong color contrast with a sense of visual pause, giving the painted scene a modern, graphic presence on the wall. The contrast between the saturated teal and vivid red creates an immediate focal point, while the dark setting grounds the entire motif. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design brings expressive figurative art directly into the interior.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a large-scale figurative artwork, we like giving this wallpaper an uninterrupted main wall where the sofa and lounging figure can be seen in full. In a living room, it works naturally behind a low-profile credenza or as an accent wall positioned across from seating so the full artwork remains clearly visible. In a bedroom or dressing room, the bold color blocking and relaxed posture introduce an expressive, design-led character without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To let the strong palette of the wallpaper take center stage, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined mid-century or contemporary furniture. Pieces with simple silhouettes keep the focus squarely on the artwork. Darker wood tones such as walnut or stained ash complement the deep background, while polished metal accents in chrome or brushed brass echo the mid-century aesthetic without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design is built around the striking interplay between vivid red and cool teal blue, grounded by a dark backdrop. For surrounding walls and trim, we suggest pulling from the deeper background tones or choosing a neutral, subdued greige to keep the wall mural as the main visual statement. If you want to connect adjacent spaces, small accents that repeat the teal or red can tie the palette together without cluttering the room.
