Wallpaper - Lifes a Beach Soft Serve

Our Lifes a Beach Soft Serve wallpaper, created by Jenaya Jackson, brings a playful retro motif together with soft pastel watercolor tones. At the center of the composition, a classic waffle cone holds a swirl of soft pink and yellow ice cream, finished with a bright cherry and green leaf accent. This illustration sits framed within a warm yellow oval against a creamy white background patterned with fine yellow dots. It is one of our more lighthearted mural wallpapers, combining a vintage feel with a clean, airy backdrop. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in casual, cheerful spaces such as a kitchen dining nook, a children's bedroom, or a dedicated playroom. Because the main motif is contained within a defined central oval and surrounded by a dotted cream field, it acts naturally as a focal feature on a main accent wall. In a kitchen, placing the wall mural behind a breakfast table or open shelving gives the room a bright point of focus without feeling overwhelming. In a nursery or toddler room, the gentle pastel palette keeps the atmosphere warm and calm while still offering an engaging, storybook character.

Styling it

To complement the retro charm of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture simple and light on visual weight. Mid-century inspired furniture or vintage painted pieces in soft off-white and warm pastel tones sit comfortably alongside the illustration.

For surrounding surfaces, natural birch or light ash plywood pairs well with the creamy backdrop and golden yellow details. Keeping nearby fabrics plain, such as lightweight curtains and neutral upholstery, allows the watercolor artwork to hold center stage without competing against heavy patterns.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around creamy white, sunny yellow, pastel pink, and accents of cherry red and leaf green. To create a cohesive look around the wallpaper, we suggest pairing it with soft warm white or pale vanilla paint on adjacent walls. If you want to highlight the warmer tones, accents in muted blush pink or butter yellow work nicely across cabinetry, cushions, or painted woodwork. For a crisp contrast, small touches of forest green or coral help pick up the detailing in the cherry and leaf topper.
