Wallpaper - Soaring Seagull III

Designed by Becky Thorns, our Soaring Seagull III wallpaper brings a tranquil coastal horizon into the home through minimalist line work and graphic restraint. A lone white seagull glides across an open powder blue sky, framed by two soft white clouds above a grounding band of deeper blue sea. The flat illustration style pairs clean contours with an open, uncluttered composition that gives the motif an airy, calm visual character. Produced made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an understated, contemporary approach to nautical storytelling.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a nursery or toddler room, where the clear graphic shapes and peaceful blue horizon create an open, restful environment. Because the composition relies on distinct horizontal layering, with the deeper blue sea anchored at the bottom and the bird soaring across open sky above, it works particularly well across a feature wall behind a cot or low bed. The generous negative space in the upper portion ensures the room feels spacious rather than crowded. In a child's bedroom, giving our mural wallpapers a wider, uninterrupted wall allows the full sweep of the flight and horizon line to be seen without being broken up by tall storage.

Styling it

The clean lines and flat illustration style pair naturally with modern, contemporary children's spaces. We would keep the surrounding furniture quiet and let the coastal horizon provide the primary visual focal point.

Unpainted, light timber furniture such as birch or ash complements the airy quality of the powder blue sky, while white-painted frames echo the clean silhouette of the clouds and seagull. To balance the graphic lines of the wallpaper, soft organic textiles like plain woven cotton blankets or ribbed knit cushions work well in solid cream and off-white tones. Keeping storage units low preserves the full view of the soaring bird and unbroken horizon.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on soft powder blue and crisp white, grounded by a band of deeper oceanic blue at the base.

When choosing surrounding colours for adjacent painted walls or woodwork, we suggest soft chalky whites, pale sky tints, or warm stone neutrals that match the light background of the mural. For accents in bedding, small decor, or painted shelving, drawing from the darker navy tone at the base of the design helps anchor the room without introducing visual noise.
