Wallpaper - Strawberry Couple Portrait

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Strawberry Couple Portrait wallpaper captures two ripe strawberries resting together on a deep teal-blue surface. The painted study highlights the glossy red skin, pale seed indentations, and crisp green calyx leaves, using bold contrast and painterly brushstrokes to give the fruit an expressive, still-life character. The rich, moody backdrop allows the vivid berry red and leafy greens to stand out with striking visual warmth. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free design with a subtle texture in the paper, it brings an artistic, food-inspired accent to contemporary and classic interiors alike.

In the room

We love seeing this design make a statement in social parts of the home where food and gathering take center stage. It works naturally as a feature wall in a kitchen, dining room, or breakfast nook, bringing a cheerful yet sophisticated art-gallery feel to the space. Because the composition centers on a large, focused still life with strong contrast, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall where the full painted form can be appreciated without being heavily broken up by tall furniture. In a pantry or utility area, it adds an unexpected pop of rich color, while in an open-plan dining space, it serves as an inviting focal point behind a dining table.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the primary focus, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and warm, natural materials. Simple timber dining tables in warm oak or natural ash complement the organic subject matter while balancing the cool teal background.

For surrounding decor, painted cabinetry or chairs in deep navy, forest green, or creamy white work wonderfully. You can also introduce subtle brass or warm metallic accents through light fixtures or cabinet hardware, which pick up the warm golden-yellow undertones found in the strawberry seeds and highlights.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich ruby red, leafy green, and a deep teal-blue background, accented by soft blush and creamy white light reflections.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, we recommend:

• Deep slate blue or dark teal to extend the atmospheric background tone into the wider room.
• Warm off-white or soft cream to keep the space feeling bright and let the mural pop.
• Subtle sage or olive green to echo the natural foliage of the strawberry leaves.
