Wallpaper - Coastal Light

Our Coastal Light wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist David Carter Brown, brings a classic seaside scene into the home with quiet clarity. The composition centres on a tall black and white striped lighthouse standing beside a red-roofed coastal building, bordered by grassy dunes and rolling waves beneath a soft blue sky. Painted with the traditional texture and depth of an oil painting, this scenic landscape adds a timeless, nautical feel to an interior without overwhelming the surrounding room. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, and designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal wall in a living room, where the open coastal horizon can add a sense of distance and depth to the space. Because the lighthouse forms a distinct vertical focal point while the sea and sky stretch out horizontally, the wallpaper benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full panorama can unfold. In a coastal holiday home or lake house retreat, it sets an easy, welcoming tone that connects indoor living areas with the natural scenery outside. Placing it on the wall behind a main sofa or along a dining wall allows the artwork to establish the character of the room while keeping sightlines open.

Styling it

To complement the traditional coastal aesthetic of the artwork, we would pair this wallpaper with simple, timeless interior elements. Furniture in warm, natural wood or clean, painted off-white finishes lets the scenic detail take centre stage. Crisp cotton or linen upholstery in neutral tones keeps the space feeling light, while subtle navy or maritime-inspired accents can echo the deep tones of the tower and ocean without cluttering the visual field.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft sky blue, seafoam tones, sandy earth shades, and the vibrant contrast of black, crisp white, and deep terracotta red. For surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites, pale stone, or light muted blues that echo the sky. If you prefer deeper contrasts in trim or furniture, dark slate navy or muted charcoal can pick up the graphic stripes of the lighthouse tower.
