Wallpaper - Ruby Beach

Captured by photographer Dan Merkel, our Ruby Beach wall mural brings the open, dramatic atmosphere of the Pacific coastline into the interior. The composition features monumental sea stacks rising from a wide expanse of wet sand, where low tide mirrors the soft evening light, subtle blue sky, and surrounding evergreen treeline. Small figures strolling along the shore give the vast coastal landscape an authentic sense of scale. Printed as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings an expansive, grounded horizon to a main living area or holiday retreat.

In the room

Because this photographic design relies on a clear, sweeping horizon and wide perspective, we think it works best on an uninterrupted wall in a living room or vacation home. Giving the full width of the wall mural room to breathe allows the reflection in the wet sand and the height of the sea stacks to establish an open, grounded focal point.

In rooms with ample natural daylight, the sky tones and cool water reflections stay bright and airy, while warmer evening lamp light brings out the golden, earthy highlights along the rugged rock faces. We recommend placing lower-profile seating or console tables in front of the wall so the view across the shoreline remains clear and balanced.

Styling it

To complement the organic character of this coastal landscape, we suggest pairing it with simple, grounded furnishings and natural textures. Low, clean-lined furniture in warm wood tones, such as oiled oak or walnut, works naturally alongside the earthy stone and forest tones in the photograph.

Upholstery in woven linen, textured wool, or soft neutral fabrics helps balance the visual detail of the landscape without competing with it. Keeping decorative accessories understated allows the expansive beach scene to remain the primary visual focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette in this design is anchored by soft sky blues and steel-blue water tones, contrasted with earthy browns, charcoal rock details, and deep forest greens along the coastline.

When choosing colours for surrounding walls, trim, or larger textiles, we like pulling from the softer tones found along the horizon. Muted warm stone, pale sand, and soft off-whites create a calm, seamless transition around the room. For a deeper accent in joinery or soft furnishings, deep slate blue or rich evergreen creates a balanced connection to the rocks and treeline.
