Wallpaper - Gentle Wind

Our Gentle Wind wallpaper captures a serene coastal moment with three sailboats resting quietly on calm water. Designed by Jeanette Vertentes, the artwork features an expressive, oil-painted appearance where soft brushstrokes blend a sunset sky of warm blush pink, delicate apricot, and pale stone blue. The gentle light reflects across the water’s surface, while a low, dark tree line along the horizon anchors the vertical lift of the tall sails. Printed to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure that adds depth to the painted scene while remaining straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an uninterrupted feature wall where the horizontal composition of the water and sky has space to unfold. In a bedroom or living room, placing the mural behind a bed or a low-profile sofa allows the vertical masts to draw the eye upward without competing with tall furniture.

The soft tonal transitions make it equally suited to a tranquil dining room or a quiet home office, where the painterly maritime theme brings an airy, open feel to the space. In rooms with generous daylight, the delicate pastel tones in the sky and water become particularly luminous, while softer evening lighting brings out the warmth of the apricot and blush brushwork.

Styling it

The impressionist, oil-painted style naturally complements New England, classic coastal, or relaxed contemporary interiors. We would balance the expressive brushstrokes by keeping the surrounding furniture relatively understated, choosing clean lines and simple silhouettes that let the artwork take centre stage.

Lighter wood tones, such as ash or pale oak, harmonise naturally with the soft beige and stone tones in the sails. For surrounding fabrics, simple woven textures in neutral off-whites or soft greys help anchor the room without introducing competing visual patterns.

Colour combinations

The design is built upon a balanced palette of stone blue, blush pink, soft peach, off-white, and deep slate in the hulls and shoreline.

When selecting colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or larger textiles, we recommend:

• Chalky off-white or soft alabaster to echo the neutral tones in the sails and maintain an open, light-filled atmosphere.
• Muted slate grey or deep blue-grey taken from the shoreline to provide a grounding contrast on skirting boards, doors, or accent furniture.
• Pale dusty rose or warm blush to draw out the subtle sunset glow in the sky.
