Wallpaper - Simple Sea

Our Simple Sea wallpaper brings an open, painterly seascape to life through the delicate watercolour brushwork of artist Kristy Rice. Featuring soft washes of sky blue, deep ocean teal, and subtle sandy tones against a clean, textured white ground, the artwork captures the gentle motion of breaking waves with minimalist restraint. The generous negative space creates an airy, unhurried visual rhythm that opens up the room. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We love how the light, horizontal composition of this wall mural creates an immediate feeling of depth without overwhelming the surrounding space. Because the artwork anchors its painterly detail across the lower and central visual field, it works wonderfully on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a bed in a master bedroom or guest room. It also brings a fresh, calm coastal presence to a living room, dining room, or dedicated home office where you want artful colour that leaves the space feeling uncluttered. In more compact areas like an entryway, powder room, or reading nook, the wide white background helps maintain an expansive, bright atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the fluid watercolour technique, we suggest pairing this design with quiet, contemporary or coastal-inspired furnishings. Low-profile furniture with clean lines allows the horizontal motion of the waves to stay in clear view. Natural, light-toned timber pieces like ash or pale birch harmonise effortlessly with the soft beach tones at the base of the mural. For textiles, simple unpatterned weaves in ivory, soft sand, or muted slate blue help echo the artwork’s coastal palette without competing with its organic brushstrokes.

Colour combinations

The artwork itself is defined by crisp ocean blues, seafoam teal, subtle pale gold sands, and a luminous off-white backdrop. For adjacent painted walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend soft chalky whites, pale dove greys, or muted sandstone tones that blend naturally into the wallpaper's light background. If you prefer a richer contrast, deep navy, slate, or dusky petrol blue on accents, shelving, or upholstered seating will draw out the darker depths of the painted waves.
