Wallpaper - Vacation In Style Teal

Our Vacation In Style Teal wallpaper brings a vibrant, vintage-inspired energy to the wall through a striking painted portrait. Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, the design captures a sun-drenched scene with a stylish figure wearing oversized white sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat finished with a bold red band. Deep crimson lips and warm, sunlit skin tones stand out against the soft teal and turquoise background, while the painterly watercolor-like brushstrokes give the motif an expressive, artistic character. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture, this wall mural makes an immediate visual statement in modern living spaces, bedrooms, or dressing areas.

In the room

Because of the scale and portrait composition, we see this wallpaper working especially well as a focal feature wall where the subject has ample room to be appreciated. In a dressing room, bedroom, or living room, placing the design on a primary wall creates an immediate sense of personality without crowding the rest of the space. The generous turquoise background allows the bold focal points—like the red band and white frames—to pop without feeling overly busy. If you are placing it in a home office or dining room, positioning the mural along a wall with lower furniture, such as a credenza or low console table, ensures that the figure's face and hat remain fully visible.

Styling it

To complement the retro glamour of the portrait, we suggest leaning into clean mid-century or contemporary lines that balance the expressive painted style:

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood furniture, such as teak or walnut, which naturally echoes the golden, sun-warmed skin tones within the illustration.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger furniture pieces in neutral creams, soft whites, or light beige so the portrait remains the clear focal point of the room.
• Introduce understated brass or matte gold decorative accents to bring out the warm, vintage summer feel of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by fresh sea greens, teal, and turquoise, punctuated by sharp pops of bright red, crisp white, and warm beige tones. When painting adjacent walls or selecting room finishes, soft off-whites, warm ivories, and muted sand tones will keep the room feeling bright and open while letting the teal tones lead. For a bolder, cohesive look, you could introduce small accents in crimson or coral red across decorative cushions or ceramics to tie directly into the hat band and lip color.
