Wallpaper - Formby Beach

Our Formby Beach wallpaper captures the tranquil atmosphere of a coastal evening, where a glowing sunset meets sweeping dunes and open water. Created by Steve Heap, the design balances warm golden, orange, and pink hues along the horizon against deeper navy, blue, and shadowed cloud tones across the sky. The foreground dunes and delicate grasses add fine detail, grounding the composition while the calm sea stretches into the distance. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on a subtly structured, PVC-free paper, this design brings a rich sense of depth and coastal calm to any interior wall.

In the room

We find this scenic landscape works particularly well on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon and sky can expand naturally. In a living room or primary bedroom, placing this wall mural behind a low sofa or headboard keeps the delicate details of the dunes visible while letting the sky and sunset colors set the overall tone of the space.

The balance between the warm horizon and deep navy clouds makes the design equally suited to a quiet home office or study, where the expansive horizon creates a feeling of breathing room. Because the composition has a clear horizontal flow from foreground sand to distant water and sky, we recommend giving the mural enough horizontal space to showcase the complete transition of light and colour across the beach.

Styling it

To let the depth of the coastal scene remain the focal point, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-profile pieces in warm wood tones, such as mid-tone oak or teak, echo the sandy foreground without competing with the finer details of the grasses.

For textiles, matte woven fabrics like unbleached cotton, washed linen, or subtle wool throws in soft neutral or navy shades complement the coastal palette. Choosing clean-lined furniture with minimal ornamentation ensures the wall mural provides all the visual character the room needs.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on the contrast between cool navy and slate blue in the upper sky and the warm, glowing amber, soft pink, and gold along the horizon.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites or soft sand tones echo the dunes and keep the room bright. For a moodier, more enveloping space, pairing the design with deep navy or charcoal blue trim draws directly from the darker cloud formations and creates a cohesive, grounded look.
