Wallpaper - The Dunes

Our The Dunes wallpaper mural, created in collaboration with Haley Knighten, captures the quiet atmosphere of a coastal landscape through painted, impressionistic brushwork. A wide, expansive sky rendered in soft grey and light blue tones stretches above a rugged shoreline of deep green and dark earthy brown hues. To the side, calm water mirrors the pale light above, balancing the richer, grounding tones of the land. The blended, oil-paint visual character gives the scene an open and tranquil presence on the wall, bringing depth without overwhelming the space. Like all Wallism wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the composition relies on an expansive horizon and a painterly balance between sky, water, and dunes, we think our design works especially well on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa gives the entire landscape room to unfold across the space. The open sky in the upper half keeps the wall visually light, while the deeper earth and sea green tones at the base anchor the lower part of the room. It also suits quiet residential spaces such as a dedicated reading corner or meditation room, where the gentle horizon creates an enveloping, nature-inspired backdrop that feels grounded and calm.

Styling it

We would pair this coastal landscape with an organic modern or contemporary interior that echoes its earthy, painted qualities:

• Keep surrounding furniture lower in profile so the horizon line and painted shoreline remain visible across the room.
• Introduce natural, warm wood tones in side tables or shelving to pick up the deeper earthy browns in the lower section of the artwork.
• Choose understated, soft textiles in off-white or unbleached tones that let the subtle sea green and blue hues in the mural take center stage.

Colour combinations

The core palette within our wallpaper brings together muted sea green, deep earthy brown, pale sky blue, and soft grey. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or adjacent spaces, we recommend staying within this natural spectrum. A chalky, soft off-white or light stone on neighbouring walls keeps the room cohesive and lets the mural feel like an extension of the space. If you want a more cocooning feel, a deeper olive or muted earthy green on adjacent trim or lower panelling connects directly to the rugged tones along the shoreline.
