Wallpaper - That Lip

Captured by photographer Nathan Larson, our That Lip wallpaper brings the quiet momentum of the ocean directly to the wall. The composition centres on a single curling wave just as its crest begins to feather into sea spray, framed by soft, misty waters above and pale foam below. We particularly like the balance between the translucent aquamarine blue inside the curl and the muted, hazy tones across the horizon. As with all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because of its strong horizontal horizon and open, photographic perspective, we see this working particularly well across a wider uninterrupted wall in a bathroom, quiet bedroom, or dedicated meditation space. In a vacation home or coastal-inspired living area, placing the mural wallpaper behind a low sofa or bed headboard allows the breaking crest to remain clearly visible without being obscured by taller furniture. The generous balance of pale water in the lower half gives the wall an airy, expansive quality that suits both compact rooms and larger open spaces.

Styling it

To complement the soft, natural atmosphere of the seascape, we would keep surrounding interior elements grounded and uncluttered.

• Choose low-profile furniture in pale, natural timber or soft white finishes so the focal line of the breaking wave stays open across the room.
• Pair with relaxed, unbleached textiles like washed cotton or woven throws to echo the misty, textured sea spray without adding competing visual pattern.
• Incorporate subtle matte ceramic or stone accents that reflect the cool, coastal tones of the water.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on cool aquamarine and seafoam blues inside the barrel of the wave, balanced by soft grey-blue water and pale, sandy-toned foam. To build around these tones, we recommend pairing the wallpaper with chalky off-whites, pale mineral greys, or muted slate accents on adjoining walls and woodwork. If you want to introduce subtle contrast, deeper navy or dusty charcoal details can ground the room without overpowering the gentle atmosphere.
