Wallpaper - Move Gently I

Our Move Gently I wallpaper captures an overhead aerial perspective of ocean waves washing against a shore, photographed by Nathan Larson. The composition is split diagonally across the wall, pairing the rich sea greens, deep blues, and crisp white foam of rolling surf with the quiet, earthy tones of smooth sand. What we especially like about this photographic design is the sense of open motion it introduces without feeling visually crowded. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture, our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your exact wall dimensions to help minimise unnecessary excess paper.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as an accent wall in a living room, meditation space, or bathroom. Because the composition balances open water with the clean sweep of the shoreline, it benefits from being placed on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full diagonal movement of the surf has space to unfold. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa lets the rolling waves remain fully visible above the furniture line. If you are introducing it into a bathroom or quiet reading corner, the grounded contrast between the water and the sandy beach brings a calm, organic character to the space without dominating the room.

Styling it

To let the coastal photography take centre stage, we suggest pairing this design with quiet, modern furnishings. Low-slung seating and organic silhouettes echo the natural movement of the waves without competing for attention. Warm, pale wood tones work especially well alongside the shoreline elements in the photograph, grounding the brighter sea greens of the water. For surrounding textiles, choosing unpatterned, tactile fabrics like loose-weave wool or unbleached canvas keeps the focus firmly on the wall while reinforcing the relaxed, organic modern feel of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself combines deep sea greens, turquoise, and oceanic blues with bright white foam and soft, warm sandy neutrals. When choosing colors for adjacent walls or woodwork, drawing out the warmer tones of the sand creates an inviting, balanced atmosphere. Soft off-whites, warm stone, and pale taupe allow the vibrant green and blue water to stand out as the primary visual element. If you want a more cohesive, tonal palette, a muted sage or soft sea green on surrounding trim or cabinetry can echo the deeper water tones without making the room feel closed in.
