Wallpaper - By the Shore III

In this design by Veronique Charron, an elegant heron takes center stage against a rich navy blue background, surrounded by delicate outlines of cattails and marsh grasses. The motif balances soft painted textures across the plumage with crisp, golden linework that outlines the graceful curve of the neck, beak, and feathers. This blend of classic wildlife illustration and subtle Art Deco influence brings a composed, serene character to any wall. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this mural is made to measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The striking scale of the heron makes this design especially effective on a main feature wall where the portrait has space to be seen in full. We see it working beautifully behind a dining table, along an entryway wall, or as a focal point in a primary bedroom. The deep navy backdrop creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere in rooms with dimmer evening lighting, while in spaces with ample natural daylight, the tonal gradations between the cool slate greys, soft creams, and golden outlines stand out with refined clarity. It also brings a sophisticated coastal touch to a quiet home office, study, or lake house living area.

Styling it

Because the heron carries a strong visual identity, we recommend styling the room with clean, intentional lines to keep the focus balanced. Mid-century or contemporary furniture with warm wood frames creates a natural harmony alongside the warm golden accents in the artwork. Brass or warm bronze lighting fixtures and cabinet hardware visually echo the fine metallic-look outlines of the feathers without competing with the illustration. Pairing the mural wallpapers with simple woven textiles and matte ceramic accents keeps the surrounding space grounded and quiet.

Colour combinations

The foundation of our wallpaper rests on deep navy blue, soft feathered greys, muted creams, and ochre gold detailing. When choosing colors for surrounding walls, trim, or cabinetry, pulling a rich midnight navy into adjacent painted surfaces creates an immersive, moody look. For a lighter, higher-contrast setting, soft off-white, light warm grey, or pale stone on neighboring walls allows the deep navy background of the mural to command attention.
