Wallpaper - Atlantic Island

Our Atlantic Island wallpaper brings a classic maritime vista into the home, capturing a scenic coastal landscape illustrated by David Carter Brown. The composition centers on a tall white lighthouse with a dark lantern room standing on a grassy promontory above calm blue waters. Small sailboats drift near the shoreline, while a red-roofed keeper's cottage and an outbuilding sit nestled in the middle ground, framed by a soft sky with light cloud formations. In the foreground, weathered wooden fence posts, rough grasses, and stony ground give the scenery depth and visual weight. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall in a living room, where the expansive horizon and scenic elements can unfold across the full width of the space. Placing our mural wallpapers on the main wall behind a sofa allows the taller vertical form of the lighthouse to rise cleanly above the seating area without key architectural details being obstructed. The open seascape and gentle sky give a generous sense of perspective to rooms that benefit from a visual connection to the coast, including vacation homes and lakeside retreats. In spaces with ample daylight, the subtle transitions between the pale sky and sea become especially distinct, while in softer evening lamplight, the warm earthy tones of the foreground ground the entire room.

Styling it

To complement the New England coastal character of this wallpaper, we recommend balancing the detailed landscape with understated, timeless furnishings. Low-profile furniture in clean, relaxed silhouettes prevents the wall from feeling crowded, letting the illustrative quality of the artwork remain the primary focus.

Surrounding elements in weathered or pale wood tones pair comfortably with the coastal mood, echoing the wooden fencing and coastal terrain in the foreground. Clean, unpatterned fabrics in cream, off-white, or washed navy help maintain an uncluttered atmosphere that supports the maritime setting without competing with the detailed scene.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a natural palette built around pale coastal blues, crisp white, weathered beige and brown earth tones, with a distinct touch of warm red on the cottage roof.

When choosing paint for adjoining walls and woodwork, soft off-white or light sand tones create a smooth transition that complements the sky and stone elements in the mural. If you prefer deeper contrast, accents in dark navy or deep charcoal pick up on the lighthouse lantern room and sailboat details. Muted rust or terracotta accents can also be introduced in small decorative pieces to subtly reference the red cottage roof without overwhelming the predominantly cool, coastal palette.
