Wallpaper - Storm Coming

Our Storm Coming wallpaper, created by Silvia Vassileva, captures the quiet atmosphere of an open coastline under an overcast sky. Broad, painterly brushstrokes depict rolling surf meeting a sandy shore, balanced by soft layers of smoky gray, muted teal, and pale neutral clouds across the horizon. The composition brings a calm, expansive horizon to a room without feeling busy. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the design features an open seascape with a low horizon line, we find it works particularly well on larger, uninterrupted wall surfaces where the full expanse of the sky and ocean can be appreciated. In a bedroom, placing this wall mural behind a low headboard allows the upper atmosphere of shifting clouds to remain completely visible. In a living room, it anchors a seating area naturally, providing visual depth without overpowering existing furniture. In a quiet meditation space or reading corner, the balanced composition and soft sea tones introduce an airy, tranquil setting.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding interior simple and grounded to complement the painted coastal landscape. Low-profile furniture works especially well here, ensuring the beach and horizon line are not obscured by tall, bulky pieces. Light-toned woods and understated upholstered seating harmonise effortlessly with the soft beach and surf tones. To avoid visual distraction, we would choose quiet, solid-toned fabrics rather than bold, high-contrast patterns across surrounding cushions or drapery.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a serene palette of smoky grays, soft off-whites, warm sand tones, and subtle hints of ocean teal along the water line. When choosing paint or accents for adjacent walls, we suggest matching the paler gray-white tones from the cloud layer to keep the space open and light. Soft sand or warm stone neutrals drawn from the foreground beach work well on trims, baseboards, or larger textiles. For a touch of subtle contrast, deep slate gray or muted marine blue accents echo the deeper brushwork near the water.
