Wallpaper - Serene Seaside

Our Serene Seaside wallpaper brings an abstract coastal landscape to life through fluid watercolor brushwork. Designed by Kristy Rice, the composition moves naturally across the wall from soft sandy beige and earthy brown tones on one side into gentle washes of sky blue and aqua, before building into deeper navy and crisp white patterns that suggest the motion of rolling waves. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is how the painted gradients create a sense of horizontal flow without relying on rigid landscape lines. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the visual rhythm transitions from light, sandy warmth to rich sea blues across the mural, we find this design works exceptionally well on wider, uninterrupted walls where the full horizontal progression has space to unfold. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard grounds the room while bringing in soft, atmospheric colour. In a living room or a dedicated holiday home interior, it creates an engaging focal point across a main seating wall. It also suits a spacious bathroom wall away from direct splashes, where the cool ocean tones and organic brushwork enhance a calm, spa-like aesthetic.

Styling it

To let the expressive watercolour texture take centre stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture relatively quiet and grounded. Clean-lined contemporary pieces or organic modern furniture in pale woods like ash, bleached oak, or light birch work wonderfully against the sandy sections of the mural.

For soft furnishings, simple natural textures such as unbleached cotton or washed linen complement the fluid, painterly feel of the wall without competing with its movement. If you want to introduce metal accents in lighting or hardware, brushed brass or soft matte black both offer a crisp, modern counterpoint to the soft watercolor gradients.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around sandy beiges, warm earth tones, light sky blue, aqua, and deep sea navy, highlighted with strokes of clean white.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend pulling directly from the lighter elements of the design. A soft off-white, warm sand, or pale muted cream will harmonise with the earthy side of the mural and keep the overall room bright and airy. Alternatively, if you want a more cocooning feel in a bedroom or snug, pairing the mural with a deep slate or muted navy on neighbouring surfaces creates a striking, cohesive contrast.
