Wallpaper - Peering Over

Our Peering Over wallpaper captures a weathered brown lighthouse top emerging quietly over soft dune grasses, photographed by Nathan Larson. The rusted metal structure with its glass lantern enclosure and delicate finial shows gentle character earned by the sea, framed by wispy coastal grasses in pale green and sandy beige tones against an open sky blue backdrop. What we particularly appreciate about this photographic composition is the open vertical balance between the grounded, earthy foreground and the expansive sky above. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang and brings an airy coastal presence to your interior.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a bedroom, guest room, or relaxed living room where a tranquil, open atmosphere feels natural. The vertical lines of the reaching grasses and the lighthouse structure naturally draw the gaze upward, making the design particularly effective on walls with standard or slightly lower ceilings where you want to emphasize vertical height. Because the upper half of the composition is dominated by soft sky blue, it creates a generous sense of negative space that prevents the room from feeling crowded. In a holiday home, coastal cottage, or lake house retreat, we would place this mural wallpaper across a main feature wall behind a bed or sofa, giving the photographic depth plenty of uninterrupted surface to unfold.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed New England aesthetic and coastal mood of our design, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings light, natural, and unfussy.

• Pair the scene with painted white furniture, light ash, or washed oak pieces that reflect the weathered coastal character without competing with the detailed foreground.
• Introduce tactile accents such as slubby linen cushions, a flat-woven jute or sisal floor rug, and light cotton curtains to echo the organic movement of the dune grasses.
• Keep wall decor on adjacent surfaces minimal and select simple matte ceramic or brushed bronze fixtures that subtly pick up on the warm, rusted tones of the lighthouse structure.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in clear sky blue, weathered rust browns, and soft dune tones of sand, light beige, and muted coastal green. Around it, we suggest working with soft warm whites, chalky creams, or pale sandy neutrals on surrounding walls and woodwork to maintain an airy, sun-bleached look. For deeper contrast, gentle denim blue, faded navy, or muted sage green on textiles and upholstery will effortlessly tie into the landscape tones while letting the central mural remain the focal point of the space.
