Wallpaper - By the Sea I

Captured by Elizabeth Urquhart, our By the Sea I wallpaper brings an open, sunlit coastal landscape into the home with quiet clarity. The photographic composition frames slender palm trees across a pale sandy beach that meets a soft turquoise horizon and an open sky. We particularly like how the fine, feathery palm fronds in natural fern green bring delicate detail to the upper half of the wall while the clean expanse of sand keeps the lower space calm and uncluttered. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a serene tropical presence to residential interiors.

In the room

Because the lower section of the design consists of open sand and gentle sea tones, this wallpaper works exceptionally well across wide, uninterrupted walls where the landscape has room to breathe. We see this working beautifully on a feature wall in a living room behind a low-profile sofa, or in a bedroom behind a headboard where the palm fronds naturally frame the upper wall without competing with lower furniture. In a holiday home, sunroom, or open-plan living area, the horizontal balance of beach and sea helps create an expansive, airy feeling across the room.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this photographic wallpaper with understated, natural materials that complement its relaxed Palm Beach aesthetic. Light-toned woods like whitewashed ash or pale oak sit effortlessly alongside the sandy foreground, while low-slung, clean-lined furniture keeps the horizon line open and prominent. To balance the fine detail of the palm fronds, look to simple woven textiles such as flat-weave rugs or sheer off-white curtains that diffuse natural daylight into the room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft fern green, pale sandy beige, muted sky blue, and gentle turquoise water. Around this design, we suggest introducing soft whites, warm ivory, or muted chalk tones on adjacent walls and trim to maintain an open, sun-bleached atmosphere. If you want to introduce subtle contrast through upholstery or decorative accents, muted terracotta, dusty seafoam, or warm neutral textiles connect naturally with the coastal tones in the print.
