Wallpaper - Simple Sea

Gentle watercolor strokes by Kristy Rice capture the horizon of an ocean shoreline in our Simple Sea wallpaper. Fluid washes of cobalt, sky blue, and deep sea-green meet soft sandy undertones and generous white space, creating an airy, minimalist coastal atmosphere. The expressive paint texture and delicate paper grain look give the impression of an original watercolor study scaled across the wall. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in spaces where you want an open, serene focal point without overwhelming the room. In a bedroom, placing the horizon line behind a low headboard lets the soft blue washes draw the eye upward and keep the wall feeling light. The calm coastal motif also suits a bright living room, dining room, or nursery, as well as compact areas like a powder room or entryway where the generous negative space prevents smaller walls from feeling enclosed. Because the composition relies on gentle horizontal movement and clear white areas, it benefits from a wall with minimal visual clutter.

Styling it

To complement the light, artistic character of our wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and unpretentious materials that let the watercolor brushwork remain the focus.

• Choose low-profile furniture in pale woods such as bleached ash, light oak, or painted white finishes to echo the airy composition.
• Introduce understated textiles in off-white, unbleached linen, or soft cotton to maintain a relaxed coastal feel.
• Keep wall decor and surrounding accessories spare, allowing the fluid watercolor forms to serve as the primary artwork in the room.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper is built around clear sky blues, deep ocean teals, soft sandy yellows, and a crisp white background. To create a cohesive look across adjacent painted walls, trim, and larger decor, we recommend pairing it with warm off-whites, pale chalky creams, or soft sea-mist blues. For subtle contrast in upholstery or smaller accents, deeper indigo, slate blue, or muted sandy neutrals bring out the darker water tones while preserving the design's breezy, minimalist character.
