Wallpaper - Coastal Scales Yellow

Created by Veronique Charron, our Coastal Scales Yellow wallpaper features an overlapping arch motif drawn in warm terracotta-orange line work over a vibrant saffron yellow backdrop. The repeating scalloped scale pattern brings a rhythmic, Art Deco and 1920s-inspired energy to the surface, softened by a gentle painterly background texture with subtle tonal variations. This geometric design provides an inviting warmth while maintaining a clean, graphic structure. Like all our wall murals and wallpapers, this pattern is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The continuous geometric repeat makes this wallpaper particularly effective in transitional spaces such as entryways, hallways, and staircases. In an entryway, the upward-sweeping arch pattern adds visual height and an immediate welcoming warmth. Because the linework is balanced and the repeat is consistent, the design sits comfortably on narrow walls, angled staircase returns, or longer uninterrupted corridors without feeling disjointed around doors or corners.

Styling it

To complement the geometric rhythm of the motif, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with furnishings that balance its graphic quality. Clean-lined mid-century or vintage wooden furniture in medium to warm wood tones creates a natural affinity with the saffron base. For accents, simple painted finishes in warm white, soft cream, or muted charcoal help ground the pattern without competing with its warm energy.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper relies on rich saffron yellow with deeper orange-terracotta arches. When selecting surrounding colours, warm off-white and soft ivory on adjoining walls, architraves, or trim keep the overall look bright and unified. If you want a more contrasting scheme, deep navy, forest green, or charcoal work well on adjacent doors or larger statement furniture, providing a deliberate counterpoint to the warm background.
