Wallpaper - Crystal Reflection

Our Crystal Reflection wallpaper, created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, captures a quiet moment on open water with a painterly gouache-inspired style. A small wooden rowing boat rests on clear turquoise and deep cobalt water, casting a rich blue shadow across the shifting surface ripples, while warm wood oars and seats add balance to the cool marine palette. As one of our custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, this design is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture that complements the expressive brushwork.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce a sense of open air and calm water. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the boat motif along an open wall creates an inviting focal point behind a bed or low dresser. Because the composition has a clear horizontal flow across the water, it also suits a living room or study where the artwork has room to breathe. The rich blues and bright turquoise tones bring vibrant energy into rooms with plenty of daylight, while softer evening lamplight deepens the darker water reflections.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the clear focus of the room, we would pair this design with clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones, such as honey oak or birch, which naturally echo the wooden oars and boat seating. Keeping larger upholstery in neutral off-whites or soft sand tones prevents the vibrant water colours from feeling crowded. A simple woven floor covering and understated metal accents in brushed brass or black help ground the coastal feel without leaning into overt nautical themes.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a spectrum of rich water tones, ranging from bright aquamarine and turquoise to deep indigo and cobalt, contrasted by the crisp off-white boat hull and warm timber browns. For surrounding walls and woodwork, soft chalky whites, pale sky blues, or warm sandy creams work seamlessly alongside the wallpaper. If you prefer a moodier room palette, pairing it with deep navy cabinetry or dark blue painted doors creates an enveloping, cohesive look.
