Wallpaper - Know The Wind

Our Know The Wind wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes captures sailboats gliding across coastal water, rendered with expressive, painterly brushwork. What we particularly like about this design is the vibrant interplay of light and colour across the rippling surface, where cool aquamarine and deep blues balance warm yellow sails and soft sunset tones in the sky. As with all Wallism wallpapers, this motif is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

In a living room or vacation home, we see this scenic mural wallpaper working especially well on a main feature wall where the horizontal expanse of the seascape can unfold naturally. The open horizon and distant coastline draw the eye outward, making it a great focal point across a wider wall behind a sofa or low sideboard. Because the lower half of the composition carries rich brushstroke detail and vivid reflections, keeping taller furniture away from the centre allows the movement of the water and boats to remain fully visible.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest balancing the expressive brushwork with understated furnishings and clean silhouettes. A sofa in a crisp neutral woven fabric lets the energetic sea surface remain the focal point of the room. We also like pairing this mural with mid-toned or lighter natural wood furniture, which echoes the warmth of the sails and brings an organic, relaxed coastal feel without overwhelming the space.

Colour combinations

Our design is built on a vibrant base of aquamarine, cobalt, and soft coastal blues, balanced by warm yellow ochre, peach, and hints of violet in the sky and water reflections. Around it, soft off-white or chalky sand tones on adjoining walls help ground the palette while keeping the atmosphere open and airy. For accent details in cushions, ceramic pieces, or painted woodwork, deeper navy blues or muted sunset yellows tie directly back into the artwork.
