Wallpaper - Bathing Beauties I

Our Bathing Beauties I wallpaper, created by Anne Tavoletti, brings a charming vintage coastal scene to life with the soft, fluid character of watercolor. The composition depicts a woman relaxing on a sandy shore in a blue and white checkered swimsuit, accessorized with a wide-brimmed striped sunhat, looking out toward gentle ocean waves and rolling coastal hills under an open sky. We particularly like how the balance of navy blue tones and sandy neutrals gives the illustration a light, graphic clarity without feeling heavy on the wall. Produced as a made-to-measure mural, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper structure and are designed to be straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because this design functions as a scenic illustration, we see it working especially well as a focal feature in a vacation home, bedroom, or a relaxed living space. The open horizontal layout of the sea and sky gives the artwork breathing room, making it well suited to a wider wall behind a bed, sofa, or low console table where the central figure remains unobscured. In a hallway or entryway, placing this mural wallpaper along an uninterrupted stretch lets the narrative feel of the beach scene unfold naturally as you move through the space.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we suggest leaning into its vintage, 1950s-inspired beach mood with simple, uncluttered furnishings that let the illustration stay center stage.

• Pair the wallpaper with painted furniture or light-toned woods that echo the relaxed coastal aesthetic without overwhelming the delicate watercolor brushwork.
• Introduce understated textiles in simple woven textures, keeping upholstery solid so it does not compete with the checkered pattern of the swimwear.
• Choose decorative accents in matte ceramics or clean, quiet silhouettes to maintain an airy, considered feel throughout the room.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design revolves around deep navy, soft sky blues, crisp white, and warm sandy tones. To build a cohesive room around it, we recommend drawing from the sandy neutrals for adjacent painted walls or baseboards to create a seamless, grounded transition. For a slightly bolder contrast that still feels connected, deep navy accents on painted woodwork, shelving, or upholstered seating will pick up the darker strokes in the hat and swimsuit, while soft off-white surfaces keep the overall atmosphere bright and open.
