Wallpaper - Clear Cocktail With Lemon

Our Clear Cocktail With Lemon wallpaper brings painterly still-life art to the wall at an expressive scale. Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, the design captures a clear drink with ice cubes and a bright citrus slice against a deep teal backdrop. Visible brushwork gives the glass and ice crisp, cool blue reflections, while colourful light pools across the surface below. The vivid contrast between golden yellow and moody blue-green makes it a striking visual focal point. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving your interior a tailored artistic feel.

In the room

Because the motif functions as a large, painterly statement, we like placing this wall mural where the full glass and reflective shadows can be seen without heavy obstruction. In a dining room or kitchen, it works naturally on an open accent wall near a dining table or breakfast nook, creating an inviting backdrop for entertaining. It also suits a dedicated home bar corner, a vibrant living room, or a sunlit summer house where the cool tones and bright citrus note bring visual freshness. While the composition is bold, the deep teal background anchors the room, allowing it to sit comfortably on a main feature wall surrounded by calmer adjacent surfaces.

Styling it

To balance the bold contrast of the artwork, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded in shape and tone. Mid-century modern or contemporary silhouettes work especially well here, letting the expressive brushwork stand out as the primary decorative feature. Darker wood finishes or crisp painted cabinetry complement the depth of the teal background, while warm brass lighting or hardware echoes the vivid yellow lemon slice. For an eclectic maximalist look, you can lean into playful glassware and colourful bar accessories, while a more modern setting benefits from sleek surfaces and minimal clutter around the feature wall.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a rich contrast between deep teal, cool navy blue, and bright lemon yellow, softened by crisp ice-blue and white highlights. When styling the surrounding space, we suggest pulling from these existing shades:

• Deep teal or soft navy on adjacent walls or joinery creates an immersive, cohesive atmosphere.
• Warm off-white or soft cream balances the dramatic dark backdrop and keeps the room feeling light.
• Ochre, mustard, or brass accents subtly draw out the golden citrus tones without overwhelming the space.
