Wallpaper - Cliffside Lighthouse Retreat

Captured by photographer Walter Bibikow, our coastal photographic wallpaper presents a classic New England scene where a white lighthouse and red-roofed keeper's cottage sit atop rugged coastal cliffs. The composition balances the grounded, rocky headland against a broad ocean horizon and an open blue sky touched by soft clouds. As with all our wall murals, we produce this design made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the lighthouse and buildings form a distinct focal point to the right while the open sea and sky span across the left, we would give this design an expansive, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or vacation home, placing the wallpaper behind a sofa allows the sweeping horizon line to create an open, airy backdrop without obstructing the key architectural details of the lighthouse. The wide panoramic aspect works particularly well in rooms with standard or lower ceilings, where the strong horizontal line of the water helps anchor the space.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding decor grounded and classic to complement the traditional New England coastal character. Clean-lined painted furniture in soft off-white or deep navy echoes the maritime theme without feeling cluttered. Natural timber accents, particularly in weather-worn or warm wood tones, pair naturally with the rocky cliff textures in the photograph.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a natural palette of ocean blues, sky tones, warm stone greys, and crisp white, with accents of brick red on the building roofs. To build a cohesive room around it, we suggest pairing the wall with soft warm whites or pale coastal greys on adjacent walls. Muted terracotta or rust accents in soft furnishings can subtly pick up the red roof tiles, while deep slate blue adds definition through rugs or upholstery.
