Wallpaper - Sketch of the Harbor II

Our Sketch of the Harbor II wallpaper brings a classic maritime scene to life through fine, ink-drawn line work set against a soft, bone-white background. The composition captures historic sailing ships with tall masts and billowing sails drifting across calm water, with a quiet, tree-lined shoreline sketched along the horizon. Drawn with an earthy, sepia-inspired palette, the motif has the character of an eighteenth-century archive study, balancing open negative space with precise nautical detail. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want a sense of heritage and quiet visual interest. In a home study or library, placing the motif behind a desk or between built-in shelving gives the room an established, timeless character without overwhelming the workspace. The fine line work and horizontal shoreline composition also suit a living room, especially on a wider wall where the expanse of sea and the full height of the ship masts can be viewed from across the room. Because the tonal contrast is gentle, you can easily use our mural wallpapers across an entire room without making the space feel closed in or visually cluttered.

Styling it

To complement the vintage character of the ink drawing, we would look toward furniture and architectural details with classic lines and balanced visual weight.

Darker wood pieces, such as antique mahogany, walnut, or stained timber bookcases, sit naturally against the sepia and bone-white background. The deep tones of traditional joinery echo the darker ink lines in the ships' rigging.

For upholstered furniture, we suggest choosing quiet, woven fabrics in natural ecru, warm stone, or muted navy. Keeping large seating understated lets the delicate drafting of the wall murals remain the central focal point of your interior.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built on an earthy, bone-white base overlaid with soft sepia and deep ink-brown tones. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, skirting boards, or window frames, we suggest warm off-whites, muted stone, or gentle parchment shades that match the warmth of the background paper. For a richer, heritage-inspired scheme, deep maritime navy, forest green, or espresso brown on woodwork and shelving create a handsome contrast with the lighter backdrop of the wallpaper.
