Wallpaper - Who Is Dreaming

Our Who Is Dreaming wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch presents a playful, dreamlike scene where a vibrant red and orange goldfish floats gently beside a glass of water. Set against a soft cream background, the watercolor-inspired illustration brings an artistic, whimsical quality to the wall with its delicate brush strokes and light, open composition. The warmth of the goldfish creates an immediate focal point, balanced by the quiet restraint of the surrounding pale ground. Like all our wall murals, this design is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

In a study, home office, or quiet reading library, we see this design working beautifully as a dedicated feature wall that brings creative energy without overwhelming the space. The open cream background keeps the visual weight light, making it equally fitting for a teenage room, guest bedroom, or a calm meditation room. Because the motif relies on generous negative space around the floating goldfish, we would place it on a wall where the composition has room to breathe, such as above a low desk, behind a bed headboard, or along an entryway where it can be appreciated up close.

Styling it

To balance the illustrative character of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing this design with clean-lined furniture and simple shapes:

• Mid-century modern furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, complements the rich orange and red hues of the goldfish while grounding the light background.
• Keep surrounding decorative accents understated with simple glassware or unglazed ceramics that echo the transparency and subtle fluid theme in the artwork.
• Soft neutral textiles in off-white or natural linen maintain the airy, tranquil feel of the room without competing with the central illustration.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on rich red and vivid orange tones set against a soft cream backdrop. When building a colour scheme around this wallpaper, warm off-whites, ivory, and pale stone on adjacent walls will allow the mural to blend naturally into the architecture. For a more graphic, intentional contrast, deeper accent colours such as terracotta, muted rust, or deep charcoal on woodwork, shelving, or small furnishings will pick up the warm vibrancy of the fish while keeping the overall interior grounded.
