Wallpaper - Ride the Tide

Our Ride the Tide wallpaper by Max Blakesberg Studios captures a surfer suspended mid-air above a powerful, cresting ocean wave. The composition balances the deep ocean blue and churning white spray of the water with soft sky and bright sunlight above, creating a dynamic, high-energy photograph. Because our wall murals are made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions, the full dramatic arc of the wave and surfer can be scaled to fit your room. Printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an adventurous coastal perspective to an interior.

In the room

We see this photographic design working particularly well as an accent wall in a living room, primary bedroom, or vacation home. Because the motif carries strong movement and wide horizontal water detail, we recommend placing it on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full scale of the breaking wave can be seen without tall furniture breaking up the action. Placing the wallpaper behind a low sofa or a low-profile bed allows the airborne surfer and cresting wave to remain the clear visual focal point of the space.

Styling it

To let the dramatic action of the photograph take centre stage, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Low-profile seating and minimalist shelving ensure the wall mural feels intentional rather than visually crowded. Light or bleached wood tones along with clean white or off-white surfaces work naturally with the coastal theme without competing with the bold movement of the water.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features rich ocean blues, crisp white seafoam, and soft, sunlit sky tones. To complement these shades, we recommend pairing the wall with crisp white, soft grey, or muted sand tones on adjacent painted surfaces and baseboards. If you want to introduce deeper contrast, deep navy accents in cushions or cabinetry connect directly with the darkest tones of the ocean water.
