Wallpaper - Glide

Our Glide wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes captures the quiet stillness of open water, painted with an expressive oil-painting style that feels both timeless and composed. At the centre of the composition, a white sailboat carries two figures across glassy water, its pale yellow sail accented with delicate blue and red detailing. Soft pastel skies and muted reflections stretch across the horizontal plane, while distant sailing boats, a dark shoreline, and a small green buoy numbered "5" give the seascape a natural sense of perspective and depth. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm maritime atmosphere to residential interiors.

In the room

Because the motif relies on a broad horizontal horizon and subtle shifts across the water, we see our Glide mural wallpapers working best on wider, relatively uninterrupted walls. In a living room or primary bedroom, placing this design behind a sofa or low headboard lets the complete seascape unfold without competing focal points. The balanced scale and muted slate blue palette also suit a quiet home office, study, or library, where the open coastal view provides a calm backdrop. In a hallway or dining area, the gentle perspective draws the eye inward, making the space feel visually open.

Styling it

We suggest leaning into classic coastal or New England-inspired interiors that echo the maritime theme without overwhelming the room. Simple, painted wood furniture in off-white, soft grey, or deep navy grounds the artwork naturally, while warm timber accents introduce an understated contrast to the cooler water tones. Because the painted details and brushwork carry plenty of visual character, keeping surrounding upholstery and curtains plain helps the wall mural remain the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our design centres on slate blue, pale pastel tones in the sky, and soft yellows on the main sail, grounded by muted greens and dark coastal accents along the horizon. To complement these shades, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with adjacent painted walls in warm off-white, chalky grey, or subtle slate. For trim, skirting, or larger furniture pieces, a classic deep navy or muted stone hue echoes the darker details in the boat and shoreline, tying the entire interior palette together smoothly.
