Wallpaper - Italian Bay

Our Italian Bay wallpaper brings an impressionistic coastal harbour scene into the room, balancing bright turquoise water with warm terracotta, pink, and beige buildings. Designed by Silvia Vassileva, the painterly composition features three wooden boats anchored in the foreground, with tiered village architecture, a domed tower, and dark green cypress trees rising against soft green hills. The visible, expressive brushstrokes give the scenic view an artistic character full of Mediterranean warmth. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings colour and visual depth to any accent wall.

In the room

In a living room or dining room, we would give this scenic wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal landscape can unfold naturally. The contrast between the bright turquoise bay in the lower half and the layered village above makes it especially effective behind a low-profile sofa or along a main dining area, where the boats and water remain easily visible. In a bedroom or guest room, placing the design behind the bed creates an inviting backdrop that draws the eye across the coastal horizon. Because the artwork relies on rich tonal contrasts between warm village facades and cool water, generous daylight helps bring out the softer greens in the hills and the fine details of the boats.

Styling it

To let the expressive painterly character of the wallpaper lead the room, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Warm timber pieces in mid-tone woods sit comfortably alongside the terracotta and beige architectural elements, creating a grounded and balanced interior. Low-backed seating and simple shelving prevent the harbour scenery from feeling obstructed. For upholstery and textiles, smooth woven fabrics in sandy neutral tones provide a quiet counterpoint to the bold, painterly brushwork of the wall murals.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on the vivid turquoise and teal of the water, anchored by warm terracotta, dusty pink, soft beige, and deep cypress green across the village and hills. When choosing paint for adjacent walls and trim, warm off-white, light linen, or sandy beige tones create a seamless, cohesive backdrop that lets the vibrant mural wallpapers stand out. If you prefer to echo the richer elements within the motif, accents in warm terracotta or muted olive green on surrounding decor will draw out the earthy tones of the coastal buildings.
