Wallpaper - Waves at Midmorning

Our Waves at Midmorning wallpaper captures the fluid movement of the ocean through sweeping, expressive brushstrokes and an impressionistic composition. Created by artist Julia Purinton, the design balances layered coastal tones, merging rich blues, aquamarine, cool whites, and subtle dark accents along the horizon where sea meets sky. The visible painted texture gives the motif an open, painterly character that brings depth to an interior without overwhelming the room. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom-printed to your exact dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

In a living room, we see this working well on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal sweep of the seascape can unfold naturally. The broad brushwork and cool palette give the space an expansive, airy feel, particularly when placed opposite large windows where changing daylight highlights the tonal shifts between aquamarine and deeper sea blues. Because the pattern has a strong artistic presence, placing it behind a low sofa or along a main focal wall allows the artwork to set the mood while keeping the rest of the layout relaxed and uncluttered.

Styling it

To complement the organic, painted quality of the motif, we would pair this wallpaper with quiet, contemporary furniture and tactile natural finishes. Low-profile seating in soft off-white or pale grey keeps the visual weight balanced and allows the coastal artwork to remain the central focus. Lighter woods, such as bleached ash or pale oak, work particularly well alongside the cooler tones in the mural, adding warmth without competing with the blue shades.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around cool ocean shades, combining deep navy, soft aquamarine, and airy white with darker horizon accents. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, we suggest soft chalky whites, light mist greys, or muted stone tones. These understated shades let the vibrant blues in the mural stand out naturally while maintaining a cohesive, balanced atmosphere throughout the room.
