Wallpaper - Over the Dunes

Our Over the Dunes wallpaper, created by Carson Overstreet, brings an expansive coastal landscape to the wall with loose, expressive brushwork. The composition captures tall brown reeds and grasses rising along the foreground against a soft, painterly backdrop of yellow and blue sky, balanced with gentle patches of green, grey, and white across the ground. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this made-to-measure design brings an open, tranquil atmosphere to residential spaces while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

In a living room or bedroom, we like using this landscape across a main, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the horizon and swaying reeds can remain visible. The horizontal layout of the coastal dunes opens up the room visually, making it well suited behind a low sofa or a bed frame without a tall, bulky headboard. In a dining room, home office, or quiet study, the softer transition between the sky and ground creates an understated backdrop that adds character without competing with daily activity. If you are decorating a bathroom, the coastal motif adds a natural, serene presence to walls outside the primary splash areas.

Styling it

We suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively grounded to complement the painterly, landscape-led character of the design:

• Choose simple furniture with clean silhouettes and low profiles so the visual horizon of the dunes remains open across the room.
• Pair the design with warm wood finishes or muted painted surfaces that pick up on the earthy brown and straw tones in the foreground grasses.
• Incorporate smooth ceramics or soft woven fabrics in unpatterned neutrals to create a balanced contrast with the textured brushstrokes on the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on earthy brown, soft green, muted grey, and gentle white across the ground, contrasted by light yellow and soft blue in the sky. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing from the paler tones in the sky, such as soft cream, warm off-white, or an airy pale blue for adjacent walls and woodwork. If you prefer a richer setting, deeper sand tones, muted ochre, or earthy olive on surrounding textiles and cabinetry will connect naturally with the foliage in the lower half of the landscape.
