Wallpaper - Long Boards IV

Created by Deborah Revell, our Long Boards IV wallpaper captures a quiet coastal scene with surfboards standing upright in the sand against a calm, pale horizon. What we particularly like about this design is the generous open space across the upper half of the composition, balanced by the graphic vertical silhouettes of the boards along the lower edge. The muted tones of warm sand, weathered wood, soft grey, and pale sky give the scene a relaxed, understated atmosphere. Like all our wallpapers, this mural is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the primary visual interest sits low in the frame, we find this design works exceptionally well behind lower furniture where the surfboards remain in view while the pale sky opens up the rest of the wall. In a living room behind a low-backed sofa, or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the wide open horizon creates an expansive sense of depth across the wall. It also suits a light hallway or a casual home office where you want an airy, coastal focal point without overwhelming visual clutter. For the full composition to breathe, we recommend giving this wall mural an uninterrupted wall where the spacing between each board can be appreciated.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed coastal mood of our design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture low-profile and unpretentious. Pieces in natural materials like light-toned oak, weathered timber, or pale upholstery sit naturally against the sandy tones in the motif.

Rather than leaning into bright beach-themed decor, we prefer pairing this wallpaper with clean, modern silhouettes and textured textiles like woven rugs or linen throws. This keeps the room grounded, contemporary, and cohesive while letting the quiet photography take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around pale cream, soft sandy beige, warm natural wood, weathered grey-blue, and accents of deep charcoal on the boards.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls and woodwork, we suggest soft off-whites, warm chalky neutrals, or muted greige tones that echo the soft sky. If you want to introduce a touch more depth in adjacent decor, charcoal accents or subtle slate blues work well to pick up the darker tones of the surfboards without fighting the lightness of the overall scene.
