Wallpaper - Coastal Storm I

Created by Jocelyn Elizabeth, our Coastal Storm I wallpaper brings together an expressive blend of abstract landscape forms and spontaneous mark-making. Soft washes of atmospheric purple and stormy blue drift across the upper composition, met by horizontal sweeps of clear sky blue and deep ink splatters. Fine graphite pencil sketches, gestural bird-like marks, and layered olive green and earthy ochre washes ground the base, suggesting a rugged coastal terrain under shifting weather. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural with a subtle paper texture, this design introduces artistic depth and movement to contemporary interiors.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully in spaces where its open composition and dynamic balance can be fully appreciated. In a living room or primary bedroom, placing Coastal Storm I on a main feature wall behind a low-profile sofa or headboard allows the grounded earthy greens at the bottom to transition seamlessly into the airy purple and blue washes above. Its expressive character also brings a fresh, creative mood to a study, home office, or guest room. Because the visual weight is naturally anchored near the lower half while the top remains light and spacious, it works well in rooms with standard ceiling heights without making the space feel crowded.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the focal point of the room, we suggest pairing it with furniture that has clean, understated lines. Contemporary pieces in natural light oak, pale ash, or smooth painted finishes complement the organic modern aesthetic without competing with the sketched details. When selecting upholstery and accents, choose quiet textures such as soft matte linens or woven wool in unbleached neutral tones, allowing the vivid ink splatters and fluid watercolour washes of our mural wallpapers to take centre stage.

Colour combinations

The artwork features a harmonious dialogue between cool weather tones and warm earth pigments, including muted lilac, deep storm blue, sky blue, mossy olive green, and warm ochre. When decorating around the wallpaper, we recommend echoing these shades across surrounding surfaces. Walls adjacent to the mural look lovely in soft off-white, pale mist grey, or a very gentle sage that reflects the green base. For deeper contrast, accents in dark indigo or graphite draw out the energetic ink splatters and pencil linework.
