Wallpaper - Caught in a Daydream

Our Caught in a Daydream wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, brings an expressive contemporary portrait into the room through stylized form and fluid motion. Soft wavy lines in warm pink, orange, and coral sweep across the figure's face, leaving deep red lips as a grounded focal point against flowing white and dark curves. The deep contrast of the dark garment anchors the warmer palette, giving the entire composition a confident artistic presence. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper is straightforward to hang and creates an immediate statement.

In the room

Because of the bold portrait scale and flowing line work, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a main accent wall where the motif has space to be appreciated from a distance. In a bedroom, placing it on the wall behind the headboard frames the sleeping area with warm color and expressive movement without overwhelming the rest of the space. It also brings distinct character to a creative dressing room or a teenage room, where the stylized graphic feel adds an energetic, modern tone. In a living room, giving the wallpaper a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the balance between the sweeping curves and the darker structural areas to unfold naturally.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean, modern lines to balance the fluidity of the artwork. Low-profile seating or minimalist storage pieces in warm wood or soft painted finishes keep the visual weight grounded without competing with the portrait. Because the pattern carries strong movement and rich tonal contrast, keeping nearby textiles relatively calm in solid weaves helps maintain focus on the wall. Matte ceramic accents or simple dark hardware can quietly echo the deep tones in the garment.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around warm orange, peach, and coral tones, accented by crisp white curves, deep dark contours, and a rich red accent. For surrounding painted walls and trim, we like soft warm whites or muted creamy tones that blend seamlessly with the lighter background elements. If you want a moodier, more enveloping interior, pulling a deep charcoal or warm espresso from the darker sections onto adjacent walls or cabinetry creates striking visual depth. For accent pieces, earthy terracotta or subdued blush tones provide a natural tonal connection to the warm center of the artwork.
