Wallpaper - Ready at the Regatta

Our Ready at the Regatta wallpaper, created by artist Yvette St. Amant, captures three sailboats resting on calm, mirror-like water. The composition uses clean, simplified forms with soft watercolor-like washes of powder blue, subtle grays, and pale whites, accented by gentle touches of yellow on the hulls and sails. The clear reflections in the lower half of the scene create an open, balanced horizon that gives the motif an expansive, quiet character. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a main wall in a living room, bedroom, or vacation home. Because the motif relies on a broad horizontal waterline and uncluttered negative space, it performs especially well across a wider, uninterrupted wall where the boats and their mirrored reflections have room to breathe. In a bedroom, placing this mural wallpaper behind the bed anchors the room while keeping the visual atmosphere light and restful. In a lakeside or coastal retreat, the open horizon creates a gentle sense of depth that complements view-facing rooms and open-plan layouts.

Styling it

The minimalist shapes and soft maritime feel make this design a natural match for contemporary and Scandinavian interiors. We would pair it with low-profile furniture in light wood, such as ash or pale oak, to maintain the clean lines of the composition. Keeping large upholstered pieces in simple, unpatterned fabrics allows the soft geometry of the boats to remain the focal point. To complement the cool water tones without overcrowding the space, consider adding woven accents or simple ceramic details in sandy, muted neutrals.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of powder blue, light gray, soft white, and subtle yellow accents. Around the mural, we suggest using off-white or soft chalky neutrals on adjacent walls and trim to let the blue watercolor tones blend smoothly into the room. If you want to echo the warmer notes in the design, muted ochre, warm sand, or pale honey textiles on cushions or throws will pick up the yellow details on the boats without overpowering the calm base.
