Wallpaper - Close to Me

Our Close to Me wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes translates the atmosphere of the coastline through expressive, impressionistic brushwork. Broad sweeps of sandy beige, soft brown, and pale cream ground the lower composition, giving way to layered washes of sky blue, gentle pink, and muted sea green across the water. A distant shoreline of deep green sits beneath a luminous sky of pastel-tinted clouds, creating a generous sense of depth and horizontal movement. Produced custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic, open feel to interior walls.

In the room

Because the motif is structured around a sweeping coastal horizon, we like using this design on wider, uninterrupted walls where the landscape has space to stretch out. In a living room behind a low sofa or across a main dining room wall, the horizontal rhythm helps anchor the seating area without overwhelming the room with sharp contrast. The softer pastel tones also make it well suited to a bedroom or guest room, where the impressionistic brushstrokes provide visual interest from across the room while revealing subtle painterly marks up close. In spaces with good natural light, the delicate shifts between the pale blues, blush pinks, and warm sandy tones become particularly lively throughout the day.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this painterly wall mural with furnishings that let the expressive brushwork remain the focal point. Low-profile furniture in pale or mid-toned woods works naturally alongside the sandy base tones, maintaining an airy, organic modern aesthetic.

To complement the coastal character, introduce quiet woven textures like unbleached wool or smooth linen upholstery in neutral shades. Keeping surrounding decorative pieces relatively minimal and sculptural in form creates a pleasing balance against the energetic strokes of the landscape.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper's palette is grounded in warm beige, cream, and soft taupe, accented with pastel blue, blush pink, and hints of coastal green and deep olive along the horizon.

For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-white, light ecru, or soft stony beige create an effortless transition that blends naturally with the foreground. If you prefer a gentle contrast, picking up the muted ocean blue or pale blush tone for accent upholstery or painted trim reinforces the subtle hues within the sky and water.
