Wallpaper - Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean

Our Two Women by the Shore, Mediterranean wallpaper brings Henri-Edmond Cross’s luminous Neo-Impressionist work into the home through rich pointillist mark-making. Small, deliberate touches of colour build a vibrant coastal landscape, where two seated figures rest beneath trees glowing in warm yellows, soft oranges, and lush greens. Beyond them, a calm sea rendered in layered blues and turquoise stretches toward a distant white sailboat under a gentle gradient sky of rose and pale blue. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our mural wallpapers capture the delicate optical mixing and painterly depth of historic post-impressionist art.

In the room

Because of the horizontal sweep of the Mediterranean coastline and the fine mosaic-like detail of the brushwork, we see this design working exceptionally well across a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room. Placing it along a main feature wall behind a low sofa allows the full landscape composition, from the figures in the foreground to the sailboat on the horizon, to unfold without visual disruption. The intricate pointillist technique also creates an inviting backdrop for a dedicated reading corner or a quiet home meditation room, where the balance of warm foliage and open sea brings a composed, contemplative atmosphere into the space.

Styling it

When styling around such an expressive, painterly motif, we suggest keeping furniture profiles relatively clean and architectural so the wallpaper remains the primary focal point of the room. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, such as unbleached linen or soft oatmeal fabric, anchors the space while letting the dotted brushstrokes take centre stage.

To echo the Mediterranean landscape without overwhelming the room, pair the scene with warm wood furniture in tones like honey pine, ash, or light oak. Subtle ceramic accents, terracotta planters, or muted bronze table lamps will complement the warm ochre and orange brushwork in the trees without introducing competing visual patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design brings together an evocative spectrum of coastal tones: deep sea blues, light turquoise, olive green, warm ochre, sunny yellow, and delicate rose pink across the sky.

For adjacent painted walls, skirting boards, and architectural mouldings, we recommend choosing soft neutrals inspired by the lighter values in the sky, such as warm off-white, light cream, or a pale chalky blush. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, drawing out the deeper olive green or ocean blue for nearby woodwork or adjoining accent spaces creates a cohesive dialogue with the original oil painting.
