Wallpaper - Sailing Ships II

Our Sailing Ships II wallpaper brings a timeless maritime scene to life, created by artist David Carter Brown. The painted landscape captures three vintage sailing vessels moving gently across a calm blue sea, set against a distant island and a scenic shoreline. To the right, a classic striped lighthouse stands beside a coastal cottage on a grassy rise, framed by a soft sky of muted blues and gentle grays. The oil painting aesthetic gives the artwork rich visual depth and a classic nineteenth-century maritime character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings an open coastal perspective into the home.

In the room

We see this scenic design working exceptionally well on a main wall in a living room, where the horizontal composition of the open sea can stretch out naturally across the space. Because the landscape features distinct focal points, such as the tall lighthouse on the right and the distant island to the left, it benefits from a wider wall where the complete narrative has space to unfold without being interrupted by large furniture. It also works beautifully in a coastal home or lakeside retreat, bringing an expansive maritime feeling to a sitting room or dining area.

Styling it

To complement the historic, coastal character of our wall mural, we suggest pairing it with traditional or New England-inspired interior elements. Furniture with clean, classic lines in warm woods or off-white painted finishes balances the visual weight of the landscape without competing with it. For surrounding textiles, choosing simple, unpatterned fabrics in cotton or soft woven textures helps maintain a calm, relaxed environment. Keeping nearby decorative accents understated allows the painted detail of the ocean and ships to stand as the primary visual focus in the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is built around cool slate blues, gentle sea tones, and soft sky grays, balanced by the natural greens of the coastline and warm neutral details on the cottages and sails. When planning surrounding walls and trims, soft off-whites, warm creams, or pale misty grays echo the lighter areas of the sky and keep the room bright and balanced. For deeper contrast on adjacent architectural trim or cabinetry, a muted slate blue or deep navy drawn from the water grounds the room nicely.
