Wallpaper - Pacific Surf III Sepia

Our Pacific Surf III Sepia wallpaper captures a surfer riding an ocean wave against a rugged, tree-lined coastline, rendered in a warm, sepia-toned vintage photographic aesthetic. Designed by Nathan Larson, this wall mural combines dynamic wave movement with weathered photographic visual texture, complete with subtle grain and aged tonal gradations. The composition places the active figure and cresting spray in the centre, balanced by the calm, textured sky above and rolling white foam in the foreground. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper relies on a central focal point and open horizon, we would give it an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire scene can unfold without major obstruction. In a living room, placing this design behind a low sofa keeps the surfer and the breaking wave in clear view while the textured sky fills the upper wall area. It also works naturally in a home office or study behind a desk, bringing an outdoor, atmospheric presence into a workspace. For a bedroom, installing the design behind a low headboard allows the ocean horizon to create a grounded, expansive backdrop across the room.

Styling it

The vintage, sepia-washed aesthetic pairs naturally with relaxed, contemporary, or coastal-inspired interiors that lean into grounded textures rather than glossy finishes. We would style around this wallpaper using natural materials and understated furniture forms that let the photographic detail lead.

Warm mid-toned woods, such as teak, oak, or walnut, echo the sepia undertones of the print without competing with its visual contrast. Upholstery in matte, textured fabrics like linen, wool, or washed canvas in off-white, oatmeal, or charcoal complements the organic feel of the breaking water and rocky coastline. Keeping decorative accessories simple, such as unlacquered ceramics or black metal accents, provides clean contrast without cluttering the wall plane.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is composed of a balanced sepia palette ranging from deep espresso and charcoal in the wetsuit and rocky shore to warm biscuit, cream, and soft antique white in the sea spray and sky.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, trim, or larger furniture, we suggest working with warm off-whites, soft stone, or pale linen tones to maintain a light, airy continuity with the sky in the print. For a moodier, more enveloping space, deeper charcoal, washed black, or warm slate grey on adjacent walls or joinery can pick up the darkest values in the water and rocky headland. Muted earthy accents, such as olive, tobacco, or terracotta, also integrate smoothly with the aged monochrome warmth of the photograph.
