Wallpaper - Racer II

Our Racer II wallpaper brings together the detailed profile of a vintage pond yacht model set against a background of painted timber planks with visible grain and knots. Illustrated by David Carter Brown, the artwork pairs a rich sienna and yellow hull, a bold red keel, and pale sails with delicate rigging lines. The warm, earthy palette and painterly oil finish give the composition an authentic New England character. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, it adds a distinctive maritime focal point to residential interiors.

In the room

We see our Racer II design working especially well in living rooms, hallways, and home studies where a classic, grounded atmosphere is desired. Because the artwork features a central boat silhouette set against horizontal wooden planking, it naturally commands attention as a feature wall behind a main sofa or along a primary wall in a sitting room. In a lake house or coastal vacation home, the warm sienna tones and nautical motif create an inviting, settled mood. To allow the fine rigging and plank details to be appreciated, we recommend placing this wallpaper where the central boat motif remains largely uncovered by high furniture.

Styling it

The distinct maritime character of this design pairs naturally with traditional, rustic, and New England interior styles.

• Anchor the room with warm timber furniture, such as antique pine, mid-tone oak, or rich walnut, echoing the painted wood grain in the background.
• Select upholstery and soft furnishings in substantial natural weaves, like heavy linen or canvas in oat, sand, or navy, to reinforce the nautical aesthetic without competing with the detailed rigging.
• Balance the warm palette with simple bronze, aged brass, or matte black iron hardware on lamps and side tables to complement the boat's clean structural lines.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich sienna brown, ochre yellow, soft beige, and a distinctive red keel, all grounded by warm timber tones. On surrounding walls and painted woodwork, we like using creamy off-whites or soft canvas neutrals to keep the room light while allowing the deeper tones of the mural to stand out. For a cozier, heritage-inspired scheme, adjacent walls painted in a deep marine navy or muted olive green will draw out the boat's darker contours and create an enveloping space.
