Wallpaper - Sun Arch

Captured by photographer Dan Merkel, our Sun Arch wallpaper brings a dramatic coastal dusk directly into your interior. The photograph captures rugged, tree-topped sea stacks silhouetted against a soft twilight sky filled with muted lilac, purple, and warm amber tones. At the heart of the composition, a brilliant sunburst radiates through a natural sea arch, casting a glowing beam of light across the wide, wet sands below. Like all our wall murals, this design is produced made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of its wide, panoramic composition and striking horizon, we see this design working best on an expansive, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can unfold. In a living room, placing it behind a low sofa allows the silhouetted sea stacks and glowing archway to remain clearly visible above the seating. It also makes a wonderfully tranquil focal point in a master bedroom behind a low headboard, where the gentle lilac and dusky purple tones set an atmospheric, restful mood. In a dedicated meditation room, the calm balance of water, sky, and low evening light creates an open, grounding perspective that visually expands the sense of space.

Styling it

To let the photographic depth of our mural wallpapers take centre stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and grounded. Low-profile contemporary pieces in dark-stained woods or matte black metal echo the deep silhouettes of the coastal rocks, creating a deliberate visual weight at floor level. For soft furnishings, choose relaxed, natural textiles such as unbleached linen, textured boucle, or washed cotton in warm off-white and sandy taupe. Keeping the surrounding shapes low and architectural ensures the bright burst of sunlight through the arch remains the primary visual focal point in the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper draws from a rich palette of dusky purple, soft lilac, deep charcoal silhouettes, and an intense golden-amber sunburst. When painting adjoining walls or selecting large upholstery, consider muted mauve, warm grey, or soft biscuit tones to seamlessly extend the sky's evening light throughout the room. If you prefer a lighter, more open feel, warm chalk whites and sandy neutrals balance the deep shadows of the sea stacks nicely. For accent pieces, small touches of ochre, bronze, or muted mustard pick up the glowing golden tones of the sunset without overwhelming the calmer purple base.
