Wallpaper - Tuxedo Cat Nap

Our Tuxedo Cat Nap wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, features a black and white tuxedo cat resting peacefully atop a stack of striped cushions. Painted in a soft watercolor style, the pattern balances the distinct graphic presence of the cat with layered green and white stripes in varied tonal depths. The composition brings together gentle figurative art and rhythmic linear pattern, offering a cozy, narrative focal point for quiet interior spaces. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure according to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a feature wall in a bedroom, guest room, or a dedicated reading nook where its restful visual character feels right at home. In a living room, study, or home library, placing our wallpaper behind a low bookshelf or an armchair gives the sleeping cat motif a natural sense of scale without crowding the surrounding wall area. Because the motif centers around a distinctive illustrative moment, we recommend giving the pattern an uninterrupted wall surface so the balance of the cushions and the sleeping cat remains fully visible.

Styling it

To complement the gentle watercolor character and traditional cottage feel, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, understated furniture. Painted wooden furniture in soft whites, muted cream, or gentle charcoal works beautifully against the green stripes. Because the wallpaper already carries graphic stripes alongside the animal motif, we would keep surrounding rugs and drapery mostly solid or subtly textured, allowing the design to remain the primary visual focus in the space.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around clear white, deep black, and a variety of cool and muted green tones across the cushion stripes. For adjacent painted walls, moldings, or built-in shelving, we suggest soft off-white or light muted sage to draw out the lighter green accents in the artwork. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal or dark forest green on surrounding woodwork or trim grounds the design and echoes the tuxedo cat's coat.
