Wallpaper - Vacation In Style Teal

Our Vacation In Style Teal wallpaper brings a vibrant, painterly portrait into the room, created by artist Kate Jarvik Birch. The composition centres on a sun-drenched figure styled in a wide-brimmed sunhat with a bold red band, striking red lips, and oversized white sunglasses reflecting cool teal and turquoise hues. Smoothly rendered watercolor-inspired brushstrokes meet a soft sea green backdrop, creating a confident balance of warmth and fresh contrast. Designed to make an artistic statement, this mural wallpaper is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure.

In the room

Because this design acts as a large-scale figurative portrait, we like placing it on an uninterrupted feature wall where the subject has space to command the room. In a living room or primary bedroom, it creates a confident focal point behind a low sofa or headboard. The generous scale also works brilliantly in a dedicated dressing room, guest room, or stylish home office, bringing a sense of retro glamour and creative energy to walls that might otherwise feel plain. For entrance halls with decent sightlines, it offers an immediate, welcoming splash of colour without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive mural, we suggest balancing the artwork with tailored silhouettes and clean-lined furniture. Mid-century modern or retro 1960s-inspired pieces pair naturally with the vintage glamour of the portrait. To keep the focus on the design, consider letting surrounding surfaces remain relatively understated:

• Choose warm wood tones like teak or medium oak to echo the sunlit warmth of the skin tones in the portrait.
• Introduce crisp white or soft cream accents in painted woodwork or furniture to connect with the wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
• Use understated textiles in natural weaves to add soft physical warmth without competing with the bold graphic character of the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is led by fresh sea green, turquoise, and teal, grounded by warm beige and punctuated by vivid crimson red. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, we recommend pairing this design with muted off-whites, warm neutral creams, or very pale sage tones that let the mural stand out. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling out a deeper sea green or forest tone for trim and surrounding doors can frame the artwork beautifully. Small accents in cherry red or coral in nearby decorative pieces can subtly echo the hat band and lips.
