Wallpaper - Lobster Fishing

Our Lobster Fishing wallpaper brings together the rustic charm of traditional coastal life and the gentle glow of dawn or dusk over calm waters. Photographed by Jim Wiebe, the composition centres on weathered wooden fishing shacks along a quiet pier, where a bold red building stands out beside classic white neighbouring structures. Lobster traps and brightly coloured buoys are stacked along the dock, set against soft lilac and purple skies reflected in the peaceful harbour below. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its expansive horizontal perspective and scenic horizon, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the harbour and pier can unfold. In a living room, dining space, or a holiday cottage sitting area, placing this design behind a low sofa or dining table keeps the shacks, stacked traps, and tranquil shoreline clearly in view. The soft purple and lilac tones in the sky bring a gentle character to rooms with steady natural light, while remaining warm and inviting under softer evening lamps.

Styling it

To complement the classic maritime character of our mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing the scene with relaxed, traditional furniture pieces. Simple painted furniture in muted white or off-white echoes the weathered harbour shacks, while natural, warmer timber tones like aged pine or weathered oak connect naturally with the timber posts and pier boards. Keeping surrounding patterns restrained allows the photographic detail and colourful buoys to serve as the visual anchor in the space.

Colour combinations

The scene is defined by soft lilac and dusky purple tones in the sky and water, balanced by earthy timber greys, weathered whites, and the distinct rustic red of the central fishing shack. For adjacent walls and surrounding woodwork, gentle off-whites, warm greys, or muted stone shades harmonise quietly with the landscape. If you want to introduce a subtle accent colour, picking up on the rich red of the shack or deep nautical blues through upholstery or decorative pieces creates an intentional connection with the wall.
