Wallpaper - Curling Lip

Captured by photographer Nathan Larson, our Curling Lip wallpaper mural brings the open expanse of the ocean into the home through a subtle, monochrome lens. The photographic composition freezes the delicate moment a coastal wave breaks into soft sea spray and foam against a warm, pale horizon. Rendered in muted cream, sand, and soft off-white tones, the motif offers an airy, tranquil atmosphere without the high contrast of traditional coastal imagery. Produced as made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpapers with a subtle paper structure, our design is straightforward to hang on any residential wall.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce a calm, open visual horizon. In a bedroom, placing the seascape behind the headboard creates an understated focal point that extends across the entire width of the room without overwhelming the interior. The horizontal flow of the breaking wave and sea mist also suits a living room feature wall, especially where low-profile seating keeps the main crest of the wave visible. Because the tonal contrast is gentle and sun-bleached, the mural can sit comfortably on a larger uninterrupted wall without dominating surrounding architectural elements.

Styling it

The soft, neutral character of our seascape pairs naturally with contemporary and organic modern interiors. We would lean into unvarnished, lighter woods and soft, textural fabrics to complement the natural outdoor atmosphere of the photograph.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-slung, minimalist furniture in pale ash or natural oak to keep the horizon line clear and open.
• Introduce tactile textiles such as unbleached linen or bouclé upholstery that echo the soft foam and spray of the wave.
• Keep decorative accents minimal and earthy, opting for matte stoneware or plaster ceramics in warm cream and stone tones.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around a gentle palette of warm cream, soft sand, and pale off-white. To build a balanced palette around the design, we suggest pairing it with adjacent walls painted in warm stone, chalky white, or pale beige to maintain a seamless, tonal transition across the space. For grounding accents, deep espresso wood or muted taupe in furniture pieces provides a welcome depth that anchors the lightness of the mural.
