Wallpaper - Long Boards I

Our Long Boards I wallpaper by Deborah Revell brings a calm, open coastal atmosphere into a room. The photograph captures two surfboards standing upright in the sand against a quiet shoreline, gentle waves, and a softly muted horizon. We especially like the contrast between the tall, dark and ochre board in the foreground and the weathered, pale board resting further down the beach. With its generous sandy expanse and airy sky, this mural wallpaper creates an expansive sense of depth on an interior wall. Made to measure for your exact dimensions, our wallpapers are PVC-free with a subtle paper structure and are straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a wider, uninterrupted wall in a living room, bedroom, or guest room. Because the composition relies heavily on the open beach, gentle surf, and atmospheric negative space, giving it room to breathe allows the depth in the photograph to truly unfold. Placing it behind a low sofa or a bed frame keeps the surfboards and the horizon line fully visible, letting the wallpaper act as an expansive focal point. In spaces that receive plenty of daylight, the soft transitions between the pale sand, the ocean, and the hazy sky feel especially natural and serene.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed, coastal feel of the photograph, we would lean towards simple, understated furniture and natural finishes. Low-profile pieces keep the foreground open, while warm timber or light oak echoes the golden tones found on the main board. Light, woven textiles and unvarnished surfaces balance the composition without competing with the scene. We would avoid overly busy patterns or high-contrast modern pieces nearby, allowing the quiet rhythm of the beach and surf to define the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within the mural wallpaper centres on soft sand tones, pale seafoam and ocean grey, complemented by warm ochre and deep black on the foreground board. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and major furniture, we recommend soft off-whites, warm stone, or muted sand to continue the airy warmth of the beach. If you want to introduce a subtle accent, a gentle ocean blue-grey or quiet charcoal inspired by the surfboard details will anchor the space while keeping the overall palette cohesive and calm.
