Wallpaper - Bathing Beauties I

Our Bathing Beauties I wallpaper brings a relaxed mid-century coastal scene into the room through soft watercolour illustration. Created by Anne Tavoletti, the design depicts a woman resting on a sandy beach in a blue and white checkered swimsuit, complete with a wide-brimmed sun hat, gentle ocean waves, and rolling hills under an open sky. We particularly like how the navy blue and sandy tones create a balanced, breezy focal point that adds character without overpowering the surrounding space. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design is simple to hang and well suited to tranquil residential interiors.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper functions as a scenic watercolour illustration, we like it best on an open, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full seaside composition can be appreciated. In a bedroom, it works naturally behind a headboard to set a calm, restful mood. It also makes an inviting feature wall in a guest room, a coastal holiday home living area, or a hallway where you want to introduce an artistic vignette.

The light sky and gentle coastal palette help maintain an airy feel, making our wall murals of this style adaptable to both compact bedrooms and larger open-plan living rooms. If you place it in a room with generous natural daylight, the softer tonal transitions in the water and sand wash across the wall with subtle clarity.

Styling it

To complement the retro 1950s seaside aesthetic of our design, we recommend pairing it with classic interior elements that mirror its relaxed charm.

Natural woven textures such as jute, rattan, or light linen upholstery pair effortlessly with the beach landscape, echoing the warmth of the sand. For furniture, lighter timber finishes or clean painted white pieces help keep the overall room crisp and bright. We suggest keeping surrounding wall decor minimal so the scenic mural remains the central point of interest, allowing the illustration to set the tone for the entire room.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on navy blue, soft sky blue, white, and warm sandy beige, grounded by gentle earthy tones in the distant landscape.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, crisp off-whites and pale sandy neutrals create a seamless, cohesive backdrop that lets the blue illustration stand out. For a more tailored contrast, deep navy accents drawn from the swimsuit and hat can be echoed through cushions, a reading armchair, or window trims. Soft ocean blues and warm stone tones also work beautifully across larger floor coverings and soft furnishings.
