Wallpaper - Santa Barbara Sunset II

Our Santa Barbara Sunset II wallpaper captures the distinct coastal atmosphere of tall palm silhouettes set against an expressive sunset sky. Photographed by Tono Balaguer, the composition balances the dark, graphic outlines of slender palm trunks and feathery fronds against a vivid colour gradient that transitions from a deep, glowing orange at the horizon into vibrant turquoise and soft blue above. As with all our mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure that adds depth to the horizontal expanse of the sky.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or guest room, where the full horizontal gradient and towering palm silhouettes have space to stretch across the room. Because the visual weight sits low with the deep orange horizon and opens upward into airy blues, placing it behind a low-profile sofa or bed frame keeps the balance intact without cutting off the dark silhouettes. In spaces with plenty of natural daylight, the turquoise and soft blue tones feel crisp and expansive, while lower ambient lighting in the evening accentuates the warm orange glow near the base.

Styling it

To let the striking graphic contrast of the palms remain the focal point, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Contemporary low-profile seating in neutral linen or cream upholstery anchors the room comfortably without competing with the sky's bold transition. Low wooden furniture in warm oak or mid-toned timber echoes the warmth of the lower horizon, while slender matte black metal accents on lighting or table frames quietly tie in with the crisp silhouettes of the palm trees.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a high-contrast palette of deep sunset orange, saturated aquamarine, soft sky blue, and the solid dark tones of the tree silhouettes. When planning adjacent walls, we recommend pulling from the softer, cooler tones with an airy off-white, muted chalk, or very pale blue-grey paint to give the room an open, balanced feel. For accents, textiles, or painted woodwork, deeper terracotta and burnt orange tones can be used to echo the warmth of the horizon, while darker charcoal or black fixtures pick up on the silhouette details.
