Wallpaper - Surfs Up

Our Surfs Up wallpaper brings together a line-up of six distinct surfboards set against a clean, light blue backdrop. Designed by Haley Knighten, the motif pairs coastal graphic style with rich detail, featuring boards patterned with red, warm brown, crisp white, green stripes, and blue with a sunny yellow accent. The rhythmic vertical composition gives each board its own visual personality while maintaining a balanced, open feel across the wall. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this wall mural working particularly well in spaces where you want a relaxed, coastal character without visual clutter. In a teenage room, children's bedroom, or playroom, the distinct board patterns add playful interest that holds attention without overpowering the space. It also fits naturally into a living room, summer house, or lake house bedroom where you want an inviting accent wall. Because the design relies on a strong horizontal line-up of vertical boards against an airy background, it looks best on a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall behind a bed, sofa, or low credenza where the full sequence of surfboards can stand out.

Styling it

To complement the graphic rhythm of the surfboards, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and grounded.

• Pair the wallpaper with warm wood or light painted furniture to echo the natural timber tones found throughout the boards.
• Keep large textiles such as bedding, rugs, and curtains in neutral, unpatterned fabrics so the visual focus remains on the surfboard designs.
• Bring in a few small accent pieces that pick up on the yellow, brick red, or deeper blue details in the motif to tie the room together subtly.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is grounded in an airy light blue backdrop with a mix of warm browns, crisp white, forest green, cobalt blue, brick red, and small touches of yellow. To build a balanced palette around it, soft off-white or sandy neutral paint on adjacent walls allows the light blue ground to feel calm and expansive. For millwork, trim, or larger furniture pieces, warm timber finishes, muted navy, or soft olive green work beautifully alongside the varied board patterns.
