Wallpaper - Steeped in Crimson

Our Steeped in Crimson wallpaper brings a painterly still life perspective to the wall, capturing a teacup filled with rich red tea and an ornate silver spoon resting inside. Created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch, the motif features bold brushwork, deep crimson tones, patterned porcelain details, and crisp diagonal cast shadows across a clean white surface. We particularly like the contrast between the delicate floral details on the saucer and the rich, glowing reflections within the cup. Our made-to-measure mural wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a focal point in a dining room, kitchen breakfast nook, or guest bedroom where an expressive still life feels right at home. Because the artwork has a defined focal point and a distinct perspective, we recommend giving it an uninterrupted wall where the full composition can be appreciated without being split by tall shelving or oversized furniture. In a dining area, positioning the mural along a wall beside the dining table allows the rich ruby and plum tones to bring warmth and intimacy to the setting.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character of this wallpaper, we would pair it with furniture that echoes its warmth without competing for attention.

Mid-tone wood dining furniture or a painted timber sideboard in soft charcoal or off-white provides a grounded base. To highlight the metallic details depicted in the spoon and cup rim, consider incorporating polished chrome or aged silver accents through tableware, lighting fixtures, or framed prints on adjoining walls.

Colour combinations

The design centres around rich crimson, deep garnet, and glowing amber tones inside the teacup, balanced by crisp white, cool slate shadows, and soft pewter highlights on the teaware. For adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light slate grey creates a clean, balanced backdrop. If you prefer a richer atmosphere, bringing out the deep berry or dark plum tones on adjacent painted surfaces or window trims adds instant depth.
