Wallpaper - Boats in Harbor

Our Boats in Harbor wallpaper brings a vibrant harbor scene to life through expressive, painterly energy. Created by Jeanette Vertentes, the design captures three docked boats with tall masts resting on water that reflects lively shades of blue and green. Above the harbor, an abstract sky unfolds in a mosaic of pastel yellow, pink, and soft blue tones, built from visible, bold brushstrokes that give the composition continuous rhythm and movement. The rich cobalt blue tones anchor the lower half of the scene while the brighter, popping accents introduce an artistic and cheerful character to the wall. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We especially like this design on a wider, uninterrupted living room wall where the full horizontal harbor view and vertical masts can be appreciated without major breaks. The dynamic composition and painterly brushwork make it a natural focal point behind a low sofa or along an open dining area wall. In a vacation home or coastal-inspired retreat, our wallpaper creates an inviting, expressive backdrop that connects the room to a nautical setting. Because the design has substantial visual energy and saturated cobalt tones, giving it a wall with good natural daylight allows the nuances of the pastel sky and rich water reflections to remain distinct throughout the day.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and vivid palette lead the space, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and grounded:

• Pair the wallpaper with contemporary seating in neutral upholstery, such as muted off-white or soft grey, which gives the vibrant harbor scene space to stand out without competing for attention.
• Incorporate warm, lighter wood furniture to echo the casual, sunlit mood of a harbor setting while balancing the deeper cobalt and green tones in the lower half of the mural.
• Add small ceramic or glass decorative accents that pick up subtle pastel yellow or pink tones from the mosaic sky, creating a quiet visual echo across the room.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around deep cobalt blues, aquatic greens, and clear accents of pastel yellow, blush pink, and pale sky blue. When selecting surrounding paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a soft warm white or pale biscuit shade works well to keep the overall atmosphere airy and bright. If you want a more cocooning or moody look, pulling a deep slate blue or rich navy from the water reflections onto surrounding woodwork or an adjacent alcove creates an immersive, cohesive feel.
