Wallpaper - Sunset on The Sandy Dune

Our Sunset on The Sandy Dune wallpaper by Kate Jarvik Birch captures a coastal shoreline at dusk, where warm evening light washes over rugged cliffs, rolling waves, and soft sandy ground. Painted in a fluid, watercolor-like style, the motif blends rich tones of coral, orange, and soft pink across a cloud-filled sky with deep purples and warm earth browns in the headlands. The water reflects these sunset shades alongside cool ocean blues and foamy white crests, creating an expansive landscape with a painterly rhythm. As with all our wall murals, this design is produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, making it a distinctive focal point for living rooms or bedrooms.

In the room

Because Sunset on The Sandy Dune is composed as a wide, painterly vista, we see this working best on an uninterrupted feature wall where the entire horizon and coastal scenery have space to breathe. In a living room, placing the design behind a low-profile sofa lets the sky and distant coastline remain fully visible above the seating area. In a bedroom, installing it on the main wall behind the bed creates a calm, grounding backdrop that frames the headboard naturally. The warm coral and golden tones also make it well suited to a study or reading nook that benefits from an inviting, nature-inspired visual focus.

Styling it

To let the expressive color palette and scenic depth lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furniture simple and grounded. Low-slung contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or light oak, echo the sandy hues in the foreground without competing with the darker purple cliff forms. Textured woven fabrics, like unbleached linen or bouclé upholstery, introduce tactile contrast alongside the smooth visual transitions of the painted sky. If you want to accent the darker tones, incorporating small touches of blackened iron or bronze hardware provides a balanced contrast against the softer coral and blue shades.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a balance of warm coral, apricot orange, and dusty pink in the sky, contrasted with deep purple, earthy brown, and cool sea blues across the water and cliffs. On adjoining painted walls, we would look toward soft warm neutrals or muted sandy beiges that pick up on the beach tones in the lower half of the design. For a more enveloping, intimate feel in a bedroom or study, a muted terracotta, dusty rose, or deep slate blue drawn directly from the shoreline can create a rich, cohesive surrounding palette on trim or cabinetry.
