Wallpaper - Summer Seaside Sketches

Our Summer Seaside Sketches wallpaper, created by artist Silvia Vassileva, captures the shifting atmosphere of a coastal horizon through expressive, layered brushstrokes. Broad sweeps of aquamarine, deep ocean blue, and soft sky tones form an expansive landscape, punctuated by warm strokes of terracotta, ochre, and playful flecks of pink across the water's surface. The composition balances open, airy areas above with dense, rhythmic marks below, giving it the painterly character of an impressionistic oil painting on canvas. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wall mural, it brings an artistic, tranquil focal point into the home.

In the room

We love how this design anchors a space with its horizontal sweep of colour. In a living room, it works naturally across a main wall behind a sofa, where the open sky section keeps the upper half of the room feeling light while the richer blues ground the seating area. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the headboard creates a restful, dreamy backdrop that frames the bed without overwhelming it. Because the horizon line draws the eye across the room, we especially like giving this design an uninterrupted wall where the full painted gradient can unfold.

Styling it

The expressive nature of this artwork pairs naturally with organic modern and contemporary interiors that embrace clean lines and warm, tactile materials.

• Balance the energetic brushwork with low-profile furniture in light oak, bleached ash, or painted off-white finishes that let the wall mural take centre stage.
• Introduce unbleached linen bedding or curtains to echo the natural, canvas-like visual quality of the painted motif.
• Pick up on the warm terracotta and ochre accents with small ceramic decorative pieces or textured cushions to gently tie the room together.

Colour combinations

The palette is built around cool aquamarine, cobalt, and sea-green blues, balanced by warm pops of coral, terracotta, and soft golden ochre. To complement the wallpaper, we recommend pairing it with warm neutral paint shades on adjoining walls, such as soft plaster pink, sandy beige, or a gentle chalk white. For a more enveloping, design-led scheme, you could also pull out the deeper teal or sea-blue tones for painted woodwork, doors, or low cabinetry.
