Wallpaper - Surfs Up

Our Surfs Up wallpaper brings coastal character to a room with a row of six distinct surfboards set against a clean, light blue background. Designed by Haley Knighten, each board carries its own personality through graphic patterns, earthy brown tones, crisp white striping, deep red accents, fresh green stripes, and a bright blue design with a yellow dot. The balanced composition and open background keep the repeat light and easy to live with. Like all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a feature wall in a children's bedroom, playroom, or teenage room where the illustrated boards can set a playful, relaxed coastal mood. Because the surfboards are arranged in a horizontal row against an airy blue backdrop, the design gives a great sense of width to a wall. In a family living room or casual holiday home space, we would place this along an open wall behind low-lying furniture, such as a low sofa or a modular bench, so the different board details and patterns remain clearly visible.

Styling it

To keep the beach-house feel relaxed and grounded, we would pair this wallpaper with light, natural materials and simple furniture silhouettes.

• Choose pale or warm timber furniture to echo the woody brown tones seen across several of the surfboard illustrations.
• Keep surrounding textiles casual and tactile with washed cottons or unbleached canvas rather than heavy, ornate fabrics.
• Select simple white or off-white shelving and frames that complement the clean white stripes without competing with the board graphics.

Colour combinations

The design features a soft sky blue ground accented with warm wood-brown tones, crisp white, deep red, forest green, and pop accents of cobalt blue and yellow. To create a cohesive room scheme, we recommend taking cues from the pale blue background for adjacent painted walls or matching woodwork in a warm off-white. If you want to introduce an accent tone elsewhere in the room, picking up on the board's deep red or muted olive green in small decorative accessories helps tie the whole space together naturally.
