Wallpaper - Citrus Glow

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Citrus Glow wallpaper brings an expressive still life composition to the wall with bold orange citrus slices set against a striped blue and white fabric backdrop. We particularly like the graphic contrast between the vivid citrus pulp, with its rich orange, coral, and golden yellow hues, and the cool cobalt and denim tones of the draped textile. The artwork has a painted, gouache-inspired character with visible brush marks, cross-hatched details, and sharp cast shadows that give the motif depth and vitality. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of its painterly style and bold focal point, we see this wall mural working especially well on a feature wall in a dining room, kitchen, or breakfast nook where the still life theme feels right at home. The high visual contrast between warm citrus and cool blue stripes makes the design an eye-catching backdrop behind a dining table or open shelving. In open-plan living spaces, placing this wallpaper on a dedicated accent wall helps anchor a dining or social zone without overwhelming the rest of the room. Giving the pattern a wall with good daylight allows the subtle variations in the blue brushwork and the glowing warm tones in the fruit to stand out clearly.

Styling it

When styling around Citrus Glow, we recommend balancing the wallpaper's strong visual energy with clean, grounded elements:

• Let natural warm wood furniture, such as an oak or teak dining table, echo the warmth of the orange slices while grounding the cooler blue tones in the motif.
• Introduce crisp white or off-white ceramics and tableware to pick up the clean stripes in the fabric background without competing for attention.
• Keep nearby upholstery and textiles relatively calm, choosing solid denim blues or neutral linens so the wallpaper remains the primary graphic statement.
• Add small accents in brushed brass or warm terracotta to subtly highlight the golden and amber shades within the citrus segments.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around the complementary balance of warm and cool tones: vivid orange, tangerine, coral, and soft mint rind set against cobalt, slate blue, navy shadows, and crisp white. For surrounding walls, a soft chalky white or pale grey-blue creates an open, harmonious setting that lets the mural take centre stage. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, painting woodwork or adjacent walls in a deep slate or navy blue extends the mood of the striped background and frames the glowing citrus motif beautifully.
