Wallpaper - Breaker

In our Breaker wallpaper, artist Julia Purinton captures the broad horizon of the sea with soft, sweeping brushwork and a calm coastal palette. Layered bands of deep ocean blue, vibrant cerulean, soft seafoam, and crisp white foam create a fluid seascape that feels open and painterly. The subtle visible brushstrokes give the design the visual character of an expansive oil painting on canvas. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper mural on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a fresh, artistic presence to any interior wall.

In the room

Because of its strong horizontal composition and open sea-and-sky layout, we find this design works exceptionally well on a wide, uninterrupted feature wall. In a living room behind a sofa or in a bedroom behind a headboard, the horizon line creates a grounded yet expansive feeling across the space. The open, airy sky in the upper portion keeps the room feeling luminous, while the richer blues anchor the lower wall. It also suits spaces like a guest room, dining room, or home office where you want an inspiring focal point without visual clutter. For a powder room or entryway, wrapping this wall mural across the walls can create an immersive, coastal atmosphere.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this painterly wallpaper with understated, clean-lined furnishings that let the broad ocean brushstrokes remain the centre of attention. Light wood tones, such as bleached ash or pale oak, naturally complement the sandy beige base of the shore, reinforcing a relaxed coastal or transitional interior aesthetic.

When choosing surrounding textiles and upholstery, neutral tones like off-white, oat, or light linen allow the vivid blues of the mural to stand out without competing. Simple ceramic accessories and matte white or brushed metal accents integrate effortlessly into the room without overpowering the artwork.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around dynamic ocean blues, ranging from deep navy and rich cobalt to light turquoise, seafoam, and soft sky tones, balanced by frothy whites and a warm sandy neutral along the base.

To create a cohesive scheme around the design, we suggest pairing it with off-white, soft ivory, or light greige on adjacent walls and trim. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping look, you could draw out the deeper navy from the wave for surrounding cabinetry or painted joinery, allowing the lighter blues and sky in the wallpaper to illuminate the room.
