Wallpaper - Nantucket Morning

Our Nantucket Morning wallpaper, designed by Kathy Ferguson, brings together horizontal bands of mixed-media collage, painterly brushwork, and expressive pencil line work. Soft washes of lilac, sky blue, and crisp white are anchored by deep navy and lively accents of magenta and violet. What we particularly appreciate about this design is the balance between bold block colour and delicate, layered details like subtle textile textures and fluid scribbles. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an artistic, contemporary focal point with a breezy coastal feel.

In the room

We love seeing this design across a wide, uninterrupted living room wall or behind a bed in a master bedroom, where the horizontal flow of the collage can stretch out naturally. Because the pattern relies on layered horizontal strips and varying visual weights, it works especially well on walls that are not heavily obstructed by tall shelving or oversized storage units. In a spacious dining area or a dedicated home office, the interplay between bright white bands and deeper indigo tones gives the wall plenty of presence without overpowering the room.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest keeping larger furniture relatively clean and modern to let the abstract composition take centre stage. A low-profile sofa or bed frame in off-white or soft grey upholstery allows the rhythm of the artwork to breathe. Pale, ash-toned or blonde timber pieces complement the breezy, coastal-inspired palette without adding visual clutter. To highlight the artwork's smaller details, you might echo the magenta or violet tones in a ceramic vase or a small accent cushion, keeping the surrounding materials simple and understated.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around cool ocean blues, crisp white, and pale lilac, punctuated by deep navy and striking pops of bright magenta and plum. For adjoining painted walls, we recommend soft chalky whites, pale dove greys, or muted lavender tones that flow seamlessly from the lighter collage strips. If you prefer a moodier look in a sitting room, picking up the rich navy for surrounding woodwork, skirting boards, or nearby cabinetry provides a grounded and tailored contrast.
