Wallpaper - Fits and Sits

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Fits and Sits wallpaper brings an expressive, painted illustration of a ginger tabby cat tucked neatly inside an open cardboard box to the wall. The composition captures a familiar overhead perspective, pairing warm terracotta and amber brushwork with deep cardboard browns and cool, muted teal background tones. Rich visual brush strokes give the artwork a painterly, gouache-like feel that immediately adds personality and charm to an interior. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and is printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture.

In the room

Because of its distinct subject and playful overhead angle, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an accent wall where the illustration has space to be appreciated. It makes a charming addition to a home office, entryway, hallway, or a cozy reading corner where a touch of whimsy and warmth feels right at home. It is also wonderfully suited to a bedroom or children's room.

When planning the layout, consider positioning larger furniture like a desk, low credenza, or bed frame so it does not crop the central cat portrait. Giving this design a dedicated, relatively uninterrupted wall area allows the painted perspective and depth of the box to create its full visual impact in the room.

Styling it

To let the artwork take center stage, we recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features clean, uncomplicated lines. Mid-century modern or relaxed contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as walnut or natural oak, naturally echo the earthy brown shades of the painted cardboard box.

For surrounding accents, you can lean into the playful warmth of the motif with cozy woven textiles and matte ceramic decor. Keeping larger furniture pieces in neutral, grounding tones ensures the wall remains the primary visual focal point without overwhelming the space.

Color combinations

Our mural wallpapers combine a rich mix of warm and cool tones, starting with the vibrant orange, amber, and terracotta stripes of the cat, anchored by warm kraft-paper browns and soft white accents. The background introduces cool, muted blue-grey and teal shadows that provide a balanced contrast.

When painting adjacent walls or selecting trim colors, soft warm whites, gentle taupe, or warm parchment tones create a seamless, harmonious backdrop that lets the orange hues pop. If you prefer a moodier or more design-forward scheme, pulling a deep teal or muted slate blue from the background shadow tones for nearby cabinetry or woodwork creates a striking, cohesive room palette.
