Wallpaper - Two Pears on a Striped Cloth

Our Two Pears on a Striped Cloth wallpaper brings together classic still life painting and bold graphic pattern. Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, the design pairs two green pears, detailed with delicate yellow highlights and brown stems, with a backdrop of wavy red and white fabric stripes. The soft, watercolour-like brushwork on the fruit balances the clean, energetic rhythm of the striped cloth, making it a distinctive focal point for dining areas and kitchen walls. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a kitchen, dining room, or a dedicated pantry area. The bold red and white stripes create a strong visual tempo, while the still life subject matter brings an inviting, culinary warmth to dining spaces. Because the wavy stripes have a continuous visual flow, we would place this on an open wall near a dining table or kitchen island where the artwork can be appreciated without tall furniture obscuring the composition. In a living room or holiday cottage, it introduces an artistic Americana feel when set against simple architectural details.

Styling it

To balance the vibrant cherry red stripes, we would surround this wallpaper with straightforward, understated furniture and materials.

Painted timber cabinetry in off-white, warm cream, or soft moss green keeps the overall space grounded while complementing the watercolour tones of the pears. Warm natural woods, such as pine or light oak for dining tables and shelving, echo the organic quality of the fruit and soften the graphic contrast of the background. Simple ceramic dinnerware, woven placemats, and unpretentious lighting will let the mural wallpapers remain the visual centrepiece of the room.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep cherry red and soft white, complemented by the fresh green, yellow, and brown tones of the pears.

When choosing adjacent wall colours or cabinetry paint, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with warm off-white, light linen tones, or muted olive green. If you want a more vibrant interior, picking up the rich red for painted woodwork, window frames, or a statement dresser creates an intentional, cohesive look that mirrors the energetic stripes.
