Wallpaper - Summer Seaside Sketches

Our Summer Seaside Sketches wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Silvia Vassileva, captures the shifting atmosphere of a coastal horizon through an expressive, painterly composition. Layered brushstrokes in aquamarine blue, deep navy, soft sky tones, and warm flecks of coral, ochre, and blush suggest light moving across water and cloud. The abstract landscape format balances open, airy upper tones with denser horizontal strokes across the lower plane, bringing a sense of fluid movement and quiet depth to the wall. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want a scenic, open atmosphere without committing to a literal photographic landscape. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the headboard creates an expansive focal point, with the lighter sky tones drawing the eye upward and the deeper aquatic shades anchoring the bed.

In a living room, we would recommend giving our wallpaper a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall so the full sweep of the horizontal brushwork can unfold. The design also translates beautifully into a calm reading corner or a dedicated meditation room, where the gentle rhythm of the coastal palette establishes a tranquil backdrop. Because the composition features an open, diffused gradient across the upper half, it handles natural room elements like low-profile sofas, sideboards, or headboards without losing its defining visual structure.

Styling it

To let the expressive oil-paint look of the artwork remain the focal point, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean in silhouette and organic in feel. Low-slung contemporary pieces in pale ash or natural oak pair naturally with the coastal tones, grounding the space while maintaining an airy mood.

Soft, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, raw linen, or pale stone echo the lighter areas of the sky without competing with the detailed brushwork. If you want to highlight the warmer notes in the painting, introduce subtle accents such as a terracotta ceramic vase, a matte bronze lamp base, or a dusty peach cushion. Keeping other patterns in the room minimal allows the painterly texture on the wall to provide all the character the space needs.

Colour combinations

The artwork centres on a cool base of aquamarine, cerulean, and rich indigo, contrasted by warm brush marks of terracotta, apricot, and soft pink. When choosing colours for adjoining walls, woodwork, or built-in elements, we recommend drawing from the softer tints within the piece.

A muted seafoam, soft sage, or a chalky warm white on adjacent walls keeps the room light and cohesive. For a slightly more grounded look, a deep slate blue or rich teal pulled from the lower horizon can be used on baseboards or doors to frame the mural. When selecting upholstery or window dressings, sandy beige and warm cream provide a balanced, neutral backdrop that lets the blues take center stage.
