Wallpaper - Lobster Traps and Fishing Boats

Our Lobster Traps and Fishing Boats wallpaper brings a quiet maritime landscape into the room, illustrated by Jim Wiebe with the visual depth of an oil painting. Moored fishing boats rest beside a weathered wooden dock surrounded by stacked lobster traps, crates, and small accents of colourful buoys, all set against a soft, misty sky and still harbor waters framed by distant evergreens. The composition balances deep navy and blue water with muted purples and warm wood tones, creating a calm coastal presence with rich narrative detail. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are made to your wall measurements for straightforward hanging.

In the room

Because of the horizontal depth in the harbor landscape, we see this working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office. Placing the mural behind a sofa, a low bedframe, or a wide desk allows the upper masts, soft sky, and distant shoreline to remain clearly visible above furniture lines. In a playroom or shared family space, the working boats and dockside details provide plenty of visual interest without feeling noisy or overwhelming.

The deep blues and muted coastal tones naturally anchor a larger, open room, while in a narrower space or reading nook, the atmospheric perspective of the mist and reflective water gives the wall a pleasant sense of visual depth.

Styling it

To complement the rich oil-paint appearance and maritime subject of the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with furniture in warm, mid-tone woods such as teak or aged pine that echo the weathered dock and wooden boat hulls.

• Choose understated, solid textiles in unbleached cotton, navy, or oatmeal to let the intricate dockside scene remain the clear visual centrepiece of the room.
• Brass, aged bronze, or matte dark metal accents on lighting and hardware tie in naturally with the maritime character and darker tones of the harbor water.
• Keep surrounding artwork minimal on adjacent walls, allowing the depth and line work of the mural to set the tone for the entire interior.

Colour combinations

The palette inside our wallpaper centres on deep navy, atmospheric slate blues, and soft purples in the sky, grounded by rich earthy browns and subtle pops of colour from the dockside buoys.

For adjacent walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale stone greys, or muted foggy blues create a seamless continuation of the sky tones without competing with the scene. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep navy or dark slate from the water onto surrounding trim or cabinetry provides a striking, cohesive contrast.
