Wallpaper - Colorful Sunset on The Waves

Our Colorful Sunset on The Waves wallpaper brings together the expressive fluidity of a watercolour seascape with a rich, glowing evening sky. Created by Kate Jarvik Birch, the motif captures rolling ocean waves rendered in deep imperial blue with white foam crests, set beneath an expressive sky filled with warm orange, yellow, and soft pink tones. The water reflects shimmering pink and purple highlights, creating a lively visual rhythm across the horizontal expanse. Printed to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers are easy to hang and tailored directly to your room dimensions.

In the room

Because of the broad horizontal movement in the rolling waves and the open sky above, we see this wall mural working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room behind a low sofa or in a bedroom behind the bedhead, the full sweep of the horizon has the space it needs to unfold naturally. The contrast between deep blue water and radiant warm sky also makes our mural wallpapers an engaging feature in a dining room, where the artwork can serve as the visual centrepiece of the room.

Styling it

To let the dynamic watercolour brushstrokes and vibrant sunset tones take centre stage, we suggest balancing the wall with relatively quiet surrounding furnishings:

• Pair the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture in lighter timber or painted neutral finishes to keep the visual weight grounded.
• Choose larger upholstered seating or bedding in calm, unpatterned navy, soft cream, or muted sand so the motif remains the primary decorative layer.
• Incorporate warm, ambient lighting fixtures such as low table lamps or understated brass wall sconces to bring out the golden and pink glow in the painted sky during the evening.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on rich imperial blue, lively orange, warm yellow, soft pink, and hints of purple within the reflected water. On surrounding painted walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling out a soft sandy off-white or muted warm cream to maintain an airy feel. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping scheme, matching the adjacent walls or skirting boards to a deep navy taken from the lower waves creates a striking, unified backdrop.
