Wallpaper - Cape Cod I

Our Cape Cod I wallpaper captures a quiet coastal landscape created in collaboration with Leslie Trimbach. The design brings together soft sky blue, water tones, and gentle earthen shades of beige and brown in a fluid watercolour style. A wide horizon anchors the composition, where painterly clouds drift across a light sky above gentle washes of water and subtle shoreline terrain. The delicate brushstrokes and low-contrast transitions give the motif an airy, expansive feel across a wall, making it an understated focal point that does not overwhelm a room. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made to measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper surface.

In the room

We see this coastal scene working particularly well on a main wall where the full horizontal sweep of the landscape can unfold without interruption. In a bathroom or a dedicated meditation space, the open sky and soft waterline introduce a quiet, grounded mood. The gentle layering of pale blues and sandy neutrals also suits a holiday home or garden room, especially where large windows allow soft daylight to highlight the delicate tonal variations in the watercolour washes. Because the visual movement is soft and horizontal, it sits comfortably behind low-profile furniture without losing the expressive details of the sky and horizon.

Styling it

When styling around our Cape Cod I mural wallpapers, we prefer to keep the surrounding elements understated so the landscape remains the focal point.

• Combine the soft watery tones with washed linen or light cotton textiles to mirror the relaxed, coastal character of the watercolour motif.
• Choose furniture in pale timber or painted off-white finishes, keeping silhouettes simple and low so the horizon line remains visible.
• Add minimal ceramic accents or stoneware in raw, sandy finishes that echo the warm neutral tones of the shoreline foreground.

Colour combinations

The design itself is built on a serene palette of sky blue, muted aquatic tones, soft cloud whites, and earthy sandy beiges. When decorating surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger furnishings, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites, pale stone, or soft pebble greys to maintain an airy continuity. If you want to draw out the deeper elements of the water and shoreline, muted slate blue, driftwood grey, or warm taupe on adjacent trim and cabinetry create a balanced, cohesive backdrop.
