Wallpaper - Regatta Retreat

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, our Regatta Retreat wallpaper captures the vibrant energy of sailboats gliding across open water. What we particularly like about this design is the expressive brushwork, where layered strokes of cobalt blue, turquoise, and violet give the water a lively, shimmering texture. Warm reflections of peach, coral, and soft golden yellow glow across the surface, balancing the crisp, tall white sails of the regatta. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture.

In the room

In a living room, dining space, or bedroom, this design works best as an expansive accent wall where the full fleet of sailboats and the rhythmic movement of the water have room to breathe. The composition has a strong horizontal spread across the water paired with elegant vertical lift in the masts and sails, making it especially effective on a wide, uninterrupted wall behind a low sofa, a credenza, or a bed frame.

Because the palette carries intense blues alongside luminous warm highlights, generous natural daylight brings out the rich tonal contrasts in the painted strokes. In a vacation home or lake house living area, the motif establishes a bright, artistic focal point that opens up the visual perspective of the space without requiring complex surrounding decor.

Styling it

We recommend balancing the painterly dynamism of the wall mural with clean lines and grounded textures in the surrounding interior.

• Pair the wallpaper with low-profile furniture in light oak, bleached ash, or crisp painted white to keep the sightlines open toward the horizon line of the artwork.
• Introduce textured upholstery and soft furnishings in neutral ecru, washed linen, or unbleached canvas to temper the vibrant blue tones.
• Choose decorative accents in warm terracotta, amber glass, or brushed brass that pick up the coral and sunset reflections scattered across the water.

Colour combinations

Our design is anchored by deep cobalt, cerulean, and soft periwinkle blues, punctuated by off-white sails and warm flecks of peach, tangerine, and lilac.

For adjacent painted walls and architectural trim, soft warm whites and chalky off-whites keep the room bright while allowing the saturated blues of the wallpaper to stand out clearly. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a muted slate blue or a soft coastal teal from the deeper brushstrokes onto adjoining surfaces creates a cohesive, wrap-around atmosphere. Muted sandy tones, pale warm greys, and touches of sun-washed apricot in textiles and ceramic pieces connect naturally with the illuminated water reflections.
