Wallpaper - Coastal Palms, Slate

Our Coastal Palms, Slate wallpaper, created in collaboration with RNM Arts, brings a relaxed coastal rhythm to the wall through expressive palm trees and sweeping fronds. Rendered in a deep slate grey against a warm off-white backdrop, the pattern features stylised linework and swirling stippled marks that give the backdrop an energetic, hand-printed visual character. The balance of upright palms and drifting foliage creates continuous movement across the repeat without overwhelming the room. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made to measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well across a bedroom feature wall behind a headboard or wrapping a bright dining space. Because the repeating palms have a distinct vertical presence balanced by the softer swirling texture between them, the pattern holds its ground on larger uninterrupted walls while remaining cohesive on narrower surfaces, such as an entryway or a dedicated home study. In rooms that receive plenty of natural daylight, the contrast between the cool slate fronds and the creamy background feels crisp and fresh, while warm ambient lighting in the evening brings out the gentle depth of the linework.

Styling it

To complement the graphic, nature-inspired feel of the pattern, we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively calm and grounded.

Natural timber furniture in pale ash, weathered oak, or light rattan sits comfortably alongside the coastal motif, picking up on the organic forms of the palm leaves. For upholstery and larger textiles, we suggest quiet woven fabrics in natural ecru, muted grey, or soft sandy tones to let the wallpaper carry the decorative focus. Matte black or gunmetal accents on lighting fixtures and hardware also work nicely, subtly echoing the defined slate tones of the print.

Colour combinations

The palette of this design is anchored by two core tones: a deep, charcoal-leaning slate grey and a soft, warm off-white.

When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or cabinetry, you can take a few different directions:

• Tonal neutrals: Soft off-whites, chalky creams, and pale stone shades create a seamless transition that keeps the overall space feeling open and light.
• Cool greys and slate: Pulling the deep grey from the fronds onto skirting boards, window frames, or an adjacent accent wall creates a tailored, cohesive framing effect.
• Muted coastal accents: Gentle sage greens, sea-salt blues, or warm sand tones introduce subtle colour while maintaining the laid-back character of the pattern.
