Wallpaper - Malecon Statue

Our Malecon Statue wallpaper brings together coastal sculpture and open seascape in a rich, dynamic composition. Created by Steve Heap, the design centres on a bronze figurative statue raised over the sea, surrounded by leaping dolphins and splashing fountain water against a glowing sunset sky. Warm orange and golden tones meet deep ocean blues and soft sky shades, giving the scene balanced visual contrast and depth. Produced to your custom dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure that sits naturally on the wall.

In the room

Because the motif features a strong central subject and an expansive ocean horizon, we like using this design across a wide, unbroken feature wall. In a living room or behind a bed in a main bedroom, placing the focal artwork where it can be seen from across the entrance gives the space an immediate sense of openness. In a dedicated home office or study, positioning the mural wallpapers along a wall facing your desk offers a calm yet engaging view throughout the day. The clear horizon line also helps anchor longer rooms, drawing the eye outwards without overwhelming surrounding furniture.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the larger furniture in simple silhouettes so the sculpted figures and water movement remain the primary focus. Low-profile seating or clean-lined timber pieces work particularly well beneath the horizon, ensuring key elements of the artwork stay visible.

• Pair with natural, warm-toned woods like light oak or teak to echo the earthy bronze tones of the central sculpture.
• Keep surrounding upholstery in calm, solid neutrals such as sand or unbleached canvas to balance the movement of the waves.
• Introduce subtle dark bronze or aged brass accents in table lamps or hardware to pick up on the metal sculpture details.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by the contrast between warm sunset ochres and cool ocean blues, accented by the earthy patina of the bronze statues. On adjacent walls and woodwork, soft off-whites, warm biscuit tones, or gentle sandy greys provide a quiet transition that lets the sunset colours glow. If you prefer a richer setting, pulling out a deep maritime blue for bordering walls creates a striking, cohesive backdrop that frames the coastal view.
