Wallpaper - Santa Monica Pier

Our Santa Monica Pier wallpaper brings the sunlit energy of the Pacific coast into the home, capturing the iconic wooden pier, vibrant amusement rides, and open ocean. The composition places the bright Ferris wheel and rollercoaster tracks against a vivid blue sky, balanced by sweeping views of the Pacific surf, sandy coastline, and distant beachfront buildings. Photographed by Tono Balaguer, this design pairs punchy yellows, reds, and turquoises with the vast, cool tones of deep sea and clear sky. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a cheerful, expansive presence on any wall.

In the room

Because of the strong horizontal horizon and the placement of the pier structure to the left, we find this design works best on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can unfold. In a playroom or family living space, it introduces a lively, sun-drenched atmosphere without feeling visually cluttered, thanks to the wide expanse of blue water and open sky on the right. In a holiday home, it naturally reinforces a coastal theme. We suggest placing lower furniture along the base so the wooden pier pilings and crashing waves remain visible, allowing the composition to anchor the room naturally.

Styling it

The playful primary and secondary colours of the rides invite bright accents, but we prefer grounding the space with simple, relaxed furnishings. Natural timber finishes and sandy, unbleached textiles complement the wooden pier and beach in the photograph, while deep navy or cobalt soft furnishings can echo the rich ocean tones. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low-profile and straightforward lets the architectural detail of the Ferris wheel and the vast coastal sky take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette is defined by clear ocean blue, sky blue, and vibrant pops of sunny yellow, bright red, and turquoise from the amusement park rides, anchored by the weathered brown and sand tones of the pier and beach. When selecting colours for adjacent walls and trim, we recommend crisp off-white or soft, sandy neutral shades that mirror the shoreline. For a bolder look, drawing out the deep royal blue of the sea on woodwork or adjoining painted surfaces creates a rich, cohesive frame for the scene.
