Wallpaper - Fresh Northerlies

Captured by photographer Jan Becke, our Fresh Northerlies wallpaper brings an open coastal landscape directly into the room. The photograph balances wind-rippled sand dunes and tufts of beach grass in the foreground with a deep blue sea and scattered clouds across a wide sky. Sand tones and soft greens anchor the lower half, while bright daylight and cooler blues create a generous sense of depth across the horizon. We produce this design as a made-to-measure mural wallpaper printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an expansive scenic view for your interior.

In the room

Because the photographic composition features a distinct horizon and a foreground rich in texture, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a bedroom, vacation home, or dedicated meditation room. Placing the design behind a low bed frame or across an open wall allows the sweep of the dunes and the open sky to remain fully visible without being cut off by tall furniture. In rooms with good natural daylight, the gentle contrast between the golden sand ripples and the blue sea creates an airy, tranquil atmosphere that opens up the visual boundaries of the space.

Styling it

To complement the natural coastal character of our design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-profile furniture pieces work well to preserve the expansive horizon of the landscape.

Pairing the wallpaper with pale, warm-toned woods like ash or light oak highlights the earthy sand tones in the foreground. For textiles, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, oat, or washed canvas balance the detailed textures of the grass and sand without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on warm sand, subtle earthy yellows, and dry grass greens, contrasted by the clear blue of the ocean and soft white clouds.

When choosing colours for adjacent walls, trim, or larger decorative elements, we suggest looking to quiet, nature-inspired tones:

• Soft off-white or light warm grey on surrounding walls keeps the overall room feeling bright and open.
• Muted sea blue or deep navy accents can echo the ocean horizon and provide a grounding contrast.
• Sand, beige, or soft taupe tones tie directly into the foreground dunes for a cohesive, natural transition.
