Wallpaper - Soaring Seagull IV

Our Soaring Seagull IV wallpaper by Becky Thorns captures a gentle coastal moment with clean, graphic simplicity. A white line-drawn seagull perches quietly on a warm beige rock, looking out across deep blue waters beneath a soft powder blue sky with two drifting clouds. The ink drawing style gives the motif a clear, hand-illustrated character, while the broad horizontal colour blocks create an open, tranquil horizon. Printed as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a fresh seaside atmosphere into any room without visual clutter.

In the room

Because the composition relies on open sky and a calm horizon line, we see this working particularly well across a wider uninterrupted wall in a bedroom or nursery. Giving the wallpaper room to breathe allows the gentle proportion of sky to water to establish a serene backdrop behind a low bed frame or cot.

In a living room or family sitting area, the horizontal division of powder blue and deep ocean blue can help anchor lower seating while keeping the upper wall feeling light and airy. It also translates naturally to a guest room, playroom, or bathroom, where the clean lines provide character without overwhelming smaller wall spaces.

Styling it

We would keep the surrounding decor relatively simple to mirror the relaxed, illustrative character of the design. Scandinavian and modern coastal interiors suit this motif naturally, where light-toned wooden furniture and soft, matte painted finishes let the graphic blue horizon take centre stage.

To maintain the easy coastal feel, introduce tactile touches such as woven wool blankets, unbleached cotton cushions, or simple ceramic vases in chalky off-white tones. Keeping larger storage pieces low and unadorned ensures the seagull and sky illustration remains fully visible and uncluttered.

Colour combinations

The design centres on a calming palette of powder blue, deep sea blue, and soft off-white, grounded by the warm beige of the shoreline rock.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend echoing these tones with soft off-whites, pale cream, or a whisper of chalky blue to keep the space open and light. If you prefer more definition, deep navy or slate blue on an adjacent alcove or painted piece of furniture will pull out the rich tone of the ocean below. Warm sandy neutrals and muted taupe also pair comfortably with the rock detail, adding subtle warmth to the overall scheme.
