Wallpaper - Bathing Beauties I

Created by Silvia Vassileva, our Bathing Beauties I wallpaper brings the leisurely charm of early twentieth-century seaside life to your walls. The composition centres on two women relaxing on a sunlit beach in colourful vintage swimwear, with one seated playfully on a turquoise beach ball and the other kneeling beneath a bold red-and-white striped parasol. A soft backdrop in tones of warm beige, muted blue, and gentle white evokes the texture of coastal sand and open water, giving the painted scene an airy, painterly character. Printed as a made-to-measure, PVC-free mural wallpaper with a subtle paper texture, it provides a distinctive focal point for coastal-inspired and retro interior schemes.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a dressing room, bathroom, or summer house where its playful seaside character can be fully appreciated. Because the figures and the striped parasol form a clear focal point, we recommend placing the mural on a relatively open wall where the main composition remains visible rather than tucked behind tall storage units. In a bathroom, the coastal palette brings a cheerful, refreshing quality to the space. In a private dressing area or guest bedroom, the 1920s resort feel adds personality and visual warmth without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Styling it

To complement the vintage beach theme, we would pair this design with light, natural finishes that echo the shoreline setting.

• Opt for painted furniture in off-white or soft cream to let the warm beige background and vibrant figures carry the decorative weight of the room.
• Introduce natural textures like a woven jute rug or light timber flooring to enhance the sandy, coastal feel of the painted scene.
• Keep surrounding decorative hardware and accessories simple, using understated brushed metal or light timber rather than ornate, heavy fixtures.

Colour combinations

The design features a warm palette anchored by sand beige, coastal sky blue, and crisp white, energized by accents of bold red and turquoise in the swimsuits, ball, and parasol. For adjacent walls and painted woodwork, soft warm whites, sandy creams, or pale sky blues connect naturally with the background. If you want to introduce stronger decorative accents through cushions, towels, or ceramic accessories, drawing on the turquoise or coral red from the swimwear creates an intentional, cohesive look.
