Wallpaper - Sunday Afternoon

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, our Sunday Afternoon wallpaper brings the expressive brushwork of a coastal shoreline painting straight onto the wall. An open sandy path winds through dunes filled with vibrant sea grasses, leading down toward calm aquamarine waters and a sweeping horizon under soft, clouded skies. Expressive strokes in deep blues, violet, emerald green, and coral pink give the coastal vegetation vivid depth and movement. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers a luminous, painterly panorama that works beautifully across an accent wall.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room or holiday home retreat. Because the painted perspective draws the eye forward along the dune path toward the open water, placing our mural wallpapers on a wide, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full sweep of the coastal landscape to unfold naturally. In an open-plan living area, it anchors the seating zone with rich colour while keeping the visual atmosphere airy and open.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushstrokes and vibrant palette take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with quiet, relaxed furnishings. Natural timber finishes in pale or weathered tones complement the sandy foreground, while woven upholstery in ecru, oatmeal, or soft grey grounds the room without competing with the landscape. Keeping surrounding accessories uncluttered and organic in form lets the painterly horizon become the true focal point of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a base of aquamarine blue, turquoise, and sandy neutrals, accented by pops of cobalt, violet, magenta, and olive green along the shoreline dunes. When decorating around it, we suggest pulling in pale neutral tones, soft chalky whites, or muted seafoam on adjacent walls and woodwork to maintain a bright, spacious feel. For upholstery and decorative accents, richer touches of indigo, deep teal, or warm blush echo the coastal vegetation without overwhelming the room.
