Wallpaper - Tatami-ishi

Captured by Jan Becke, our Tatami-ishi wallpaper brings together the striking geometry of coastal rock formations and the quiet expanse of an open horizon. Hexagonal stones form a natural mosaic along the water's edge, catching the low evening light while wet surfaces mirror soft shifts of blue, pink, and orange in the sunset sky. The composition creates a balanced sense of depth that draws the eye out toward calm waters and distant hills. Printed to your exact dimensions, our made-to-measure mural wallpapers feature a subtle paper texture and are entirely PVC-free.

In the room

In a living room, we would place this design on a main wall behind a low sofa or credenza so the broad horizon line remains clear across the room. The horizontal flow of the shoreline and open water naturally opens up wide spaces, giving the wall a calm, expansive feel without visual clutter. For a dedicated meditation room or quiet lounge area, we find that giving the wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the rhythmic hexagonal patterns in the foreground and the soft sky tones above to anchor the entire room in a balanced, grounded way.

Styling it

To balance the photographic detail and geometric structure of the stone formations, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-profile furniture with clean, modern lines works especially well here, ensuring the lower half of the landscape remains visible. Natural, warm wood finishes like ash, white oak, or teak introduce an organic warmth that complements the cooler blues and rocky greys of the water. Soft, neutral upholstery in warm oatmeal, stone, or unbleached tones keeps the focus on the wall mural while preserving an open, uncluttered interior.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper centres around cool ocean blues, sky blue, muted slate greys, and gentle washes of sunset pink and soft orange across the horizon. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, we like using quiet off-whites with neutral undertones or pale, misty greys that echo the upper sky. For larger accent pieces, deeper navy tones or muted terracotta and warm clay can subtly pull out the warm evening glow along the shoreline.
