Wallpaper - Fits and Sits

Our Fits and Sits wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, captures an endearing ginger tabby cat sitting upright inside an open cardboard box. Painted with visible, expressive brushstrokes and a gouache-like texture, the composition looks directly down on the cat with its wide green eyes and white chest markings. Warm cardboard browns and rich amber orange tones contrast against cooler grey-blue and deep shadow tones around the box. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates an inviting, characterful statement on any wall.

In the room

Because of its strong central focal point and graphic bird's-eye perspective, we see this wall mural working particularly well as an accent wall rather than wrapped around an entire room. In a bedroom, playroom, or cosy home office, placing the mural on a clear wall where the cat's direct gaze remains unobstructed gives the room an immediate sense of warmth and personality.

In compact hallways or a study nook, the angled geometry of the box helps draw the eye inward, making even modest wall areas feel deliberate and engaging. We would avoid placing tall, heavy furniture directly in front of the centre of the design so the full character of the motif stays visible.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with simple, unpretentious interior choices that let the playful illustration take centre stage.

Warm wood furniture, such as natural pine or light oak, picks up on the cardboard and ginger tones without competing for attention. Keeping surrounding textiles in muted, plain weaves like unbleached cotton or oatmeal fabrics balances the bold brushwork of the artwork. Clean-lined mid-century or modern Scandinavian pieces prevent the room from feeling cluttered around such an expressive motif.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on warm ginger orange, rich cardboard brown, and soft creamy white, offset by cool blue-grey floor tones and deep charcoal shadows.

When choosing paint colours for adjacent walls and woodwork, soft warm off-whites or gentle stone neutrals create a calm, seamless backdrop. If you prefer a subtle accent, a muted slate grey or soft sage green harmonises nicely with the cat's green eyes and the cool shadows in the background.
