Wallpaper - Still Warm

Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, our Still Warm wallpaper presents an intimate still-life composition centered on a porcelain teacup and saucer resting on a striped tabletop. The design has the expressive, visible brushstrokes of a painted study, featuring rich amber tea glowing inside the cup, deep blue cast shadows, crisp terracotta red trim, and muted dusty rose and white background tones. The large-scale perspective transforms a quiet everyday moment into a bold focal point for the wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this design functions as a large, illustrative focal piece, we like it best on a feature wall where the central teacup has room to be appreciated in its entirety. It feels especially at home in a dining room, kitchen dining nook, or cozy breakfast corner, bringing warmth and a charming artistic presence to spaces centered around meals and conversation.

In an open-plan kitchen or living area, we would place this wallpaper behind a dining table or near a coffee bar rather than across every wall. The defined lines of the cup and the dramatic cast shadow carry strong visual weight, so giving it an unobstructed wall lets the painterly details stand out naturally.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with simple furniture shapes that do not compete with the bold illustrative style. Mid-century modern dining chairs or understated painted wooden tables create a balanced look that lets the artwork lead.

To complement the warm, cafe-inspired palette, choose surrounding textures with a relaxed, lived-in feel. Unfinished ceramics, clear glassware, and clean linen napkins will echo the still-life subject without cluttering the room.

Color combinations

The artwork features a harmonious mix of warm amber, terracotta red, slate blue, dusty rose, and off-white.

For adjacent walls and painted wood trim, we suggest soft warm whites, muted blush tones, or pale plaster pinks that extend the background stripes of the mural. If you want a richer contrast that draws out the deep shadow work in the cup, a deep slate blue or dusky charcoal on nearby cabinetry or doors works beautifully.
