Wallpaper - Clear Cup of Tea With Lemon

Designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Clear Cup of Tea With Lemon wallpaper brings a playful, pop-art still life into focus on the wall. The composition centres on a clear glass teacup and matching saucer filled with warm amber tea, topped with a fresh slice of lemon. Set against a soft rose-pink background, the glass catches bright highlights while casting graphic shadows in vibrant purple and sunny yellow. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The graphic composition and bold palette make this design especially effective in social spaces. In a kitchen, breakfast nook, or dining room, the food and drink motif feels entirely natural, creating an eye-catching focal point behind a dining table or along a dining banquette. Because the motif is defined by distinct focal elements and contrasting cast shadows, it works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full still life can be appreciated from a distance. We also see this working nicely in a creative teenage bedroom or a lively living room that leans into retro or eclectic styling.

Styling it

The 1960s pop-art sensibility pairs effortlessly with mid-century modern shapes and eclectic interior elements. We would combine this wallpaper with clean-lined furniture, such as a round dining table or simple painted timber pieces, allowing the artwork to take visual priority. To balance the vibrant shadows and bright highlights in the print, keep larger surrounding textiles relatively simple, opting for solid woven upholstery or smooth surfaces that complement the playful retro mood without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a distinct palette of soft rose pink, warm amber, bright yellow, and deep purple. When planning surrounding wall paint, cabinetry, or trim, a muted off-white or soft warm cream keeps the overall space feeling open while letting the pink background stand out. For a bolder, more cohesive look, you could pull the warm amber tone or the vivid lemon yellow into nearby accents like dining chairs, lighting fixtures, or artwork on adjacent walls.
