Wallpaper - Pacific Afternoon

Our Pacific Afternoon wallpaper captures an aerial view of ocean waves breaking along a light tan shoreline. Created from photographic work by Nathan Larson, the composition balances deep blue water with the delicate, frothy white patterns of rolling surf as it sweeps across the sand. The perspective introduces natural rhythm and movement while keeping an open, uncluttered visual balance across the wall. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a clean coastal presence into the home.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizontal sweep from ocean to shore has room to unfold. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard grounds the room with cool blue tones while keeping the overall atmosphere tranquil and balanced. It also works naturally in a bathroom or a dedicated meditation space, where the aerial coastal motif complements water elements and simpler architectural lines. Because the visual contrast between the deep ocean blue and white wave crests provides plenty of visual interest on its own, the design works best when given enough open wall area rather than being split by tall cabinetry or heavy wall storage.

Styling it

To keep the focus on the natural movement in the photograph, we suggest surrounding the wallpaper with understated, grounded interior choices:

• Balance the cool ocean tones with warm, light wood furniture, such as natural ash or pale oak, which picks up on the tan shades along the shoreline.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and larger bedding in plain, unpatterned fabrics like off-white cotton or soft oatmeal to avoid competing with the details in the sea foam.
• Choose low-profile furniture shapes that leave plenty of the aerial landscape visible across the wall.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on deep ocean blue, cool water tones, bright white foam, and soft sandy tan. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or trim, off-whites with a neutral or slightly warm undertone create a crisp, cohesive transition. If you want a more enveloping, continuous palette, a muted slate blue on neighbouring surfaces complements the water tones without overpowering the room. Light sand and biscuit tones on surrounding textiles or painted woodwork also tie neatly into the beach elements of the photograph.
