Wallpaper - Glide

Our Glide wallpaper captures a calm maritime scene painted by Jeanette Vertentes, where a white sailboat with two figures glides gently across still coastal water. Its pale yellow sail carries subtle blue and red accents, while distant boats, a green buoy, and a low shoreline build a quiet sense of depth across the horizon. Painted brushwork, soft slate blues, and pastel reflections give the artwork an open, painterly character that works beautifully across an accent wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom where the horizontal water line can stretch out naturally. Because the sailboat serves as a distinct focal point, placing it along a wider, uninterrupted wall gives the painterly landscape space to breathe without feeling cut off by tall furniture. In a quiet study, lake house, or summer home, the soft blue and pastel tones introduce a gentle nautical character without overwhelming the room. The composition also translates gracefully into a guest bathroom or hallway staircase, where the open coastal horizon adds visual depth to narrower spaces.

Styling it

For styling around this design, we suggest leaning into classic, New England, or modern coastal interior elements that echo its maritime feel. Simple wooden furniture in weathered, light, or painted white finishes pairs naturally with the oil-painted appearance of the water and sky. To keep the visual balance centered on the artwork, we would choose soft, unpatterned fabrics in off-white, light gray, or washed navy for upholstery, cushions, and curtains. Matte ceramics, subtle woven baskets, and understated lighting will complement the seascape while letting the wall mural remain the primary visual focus of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by a palette of slate blue, soft pastel sky tones, pale yellow, and muted green, contrasted by darker figures and horizon accents. When choosing paint for adjacent walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend clean off-whites, cool chalky grays, or very pale slate blues that continue the airy background without competing with it. For accent pieces, deep navy, charcoal, or muted dark green will pick up on the sailboat's hull, buoy, and distant shoreline to ground the space.
