Wallpaper - Island of Sylt

Our Island of Sylt wallpaper brings an expansive coastal landscape into the home, captured through photographic detail by Jan Becke. The composition features a red-and-white banded lighthouse standing prominently amongst grassy sand dunes, set against an open blue sky, deep blue water, and thatched seaside cottages across the earthy heathland. What we particularly like is the horizontal depth of the panoramic perspective, allowing the open coastline to stretch naturally across a wall. Printed as made-to-measure, PVC-free wall murals with a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, our wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make an impressive visual statement.

In the room

Because of the panoramic scale and wide horizon in this design, we see it working exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the expansive sky and coastal dunes to open up the room without feeling obstructed. It is also an inspiring choice for a vacation home, where the maritime scene reinforces a relaxed, open atmosphere. For rooms with generous natural daylight, the crisp contrast between the red lighthouse, the grassy dune tones, and the blue sky remains clear and vibrant throughout the day.

Styling it

When styling around our Island of Sylt design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture grounded and visually quiet so the expansive coastal panorama remains the focal point. Low-backed seating in neutral, woven upholstery works well to preserve the sightline of the horizon. Pairing the mural with warm, natural wood finishes on coffee tables or shelving echoes the earthy tones of the dune grasses and thatched cottages, creating a balanced, coastal-inspired setting.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is defined by clear sky blue, rich sea blue, and warm, earthy greens and dry grasses, punctuated by the vivid red and clean white of the lighthouse. For adjacent painted walls and woodwork, soft sandy neutrals, warm off-whites, or muted stone shades complement the landscape without competing with it. If you want to introduce accent colours in cushions or smaller decor, a deep navy or a subtle brick red draws out the key tones within the landscape.
