Wallpaper - Pretty Pier

Our Pretty Pier wallpaper, created by artist Kristy Rice, captures a tranquil coastal scene through soft, fluid watercolour washes. The composition features a rustic wooden pier with white-capped posts stretching outward into calm, reflective waters where delicate shades of green, blue, and soft purple gently merge. A fence along the left side grounds the foreground, giving the perspective a gentle architectural rhythm before opening up towards the distant horizon. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design brings an expansive, painterly quality to any room.

In the room

Because of the strong perspective created by the wooden boardwalk leading outward, we find this mural works exceptionally well on a main feature wall where the visual depth can fully open up the space. In a bedroom, placing the design behind a bed frame creates an anchoring visual backdrop, with the tranquil water tones setting a quiet atmosphere.

For living rooms and dining areas, we would give this wall mural a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall area. This allows the gentle transition between the structured pier on the left and the open pastel water on the right to read clearly across the room. In a home office, study, or hallway, the horizon line naturally draws the eye outward, which helps smaller or narrower spaces feel more open. The subtle colour washes also respond beautifully to natural daylight, revealing the soft interplay of green and lavender tones throughout the day.

Styling it

The soft watercolour technique and coastal motif pair naturally with calm, contemporary interiors and relaxed seaside-inspired spaces. We would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively light and uncrowded to let the artwork breathe.

• Pair with light oak, pale ash, or painted white furniture to complement the weathered wood tones of the pier and keep the room bright.
• Introduce tactile textiles such as washed linen cushions or lightweight wool throws in cream, pale sand, or soft pastel blue.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent walls minimal, choosing simple ceramic accents or matte finishes rather than reflective or ornate metallic accessories.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by a soft cream base, layered with muted watercolor shades of sea green, sky blue, and pastel purple, balanced by the natural brown and weathered white tones of the wooden dock.

When painting adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend staying within quiet, complementary neutrals. Off-white, warm cream, or very pale stone create a seamless transition around the room without competing with the mural. For upholstery, curtains, or painted accent pieces, choosing a soft sage green or gentle slate blue draws out the subtle water reflections in the painting, creating a harmonious and unified interior.
