Wallpaper - Seaside Scene

Our Seaside Scene wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings a graphic coastal landscape to life through clean forms and defined colour blocking. The composition balances a bold cobalt blue ocean and crisp white wave crests with a soft light blue sky and slender clouds. In the foreground, stylized golden-yellow beach grasses with brown tufts introduce warmth, while a white bird with black-tipped wings and a red beak glides overhead to give the scene a sense of flight. With its block-print character and mid-century aesthetic, this mural wallpaper offers a structured take on maritime scenery. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working particularly well on an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or a bright hallway. Because the motif is arranged with distinct foreground grasses and an open sea horizon, giving it a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the horizontal expanse of the ocean to read clearly across the space.

In a bedroom, the design sits comfortably behind a headboard where the golden grasses frame the lower portion of the wall and the open sky keeps the upper space feeling airy. The graphic clarity also makes it a wonderful fit for a nursery, summer house, or family bathroom, where its bold shapes bring character without visual clutter.

Styling it

The distinct mid-century graphic quality of this design pairs naturally with clean-lined furniture and simple silhouettes. We would keep the surrounding decor relatively uncluttered to let the illustrative style of the wall mural stand out.

• Choose warm wood furniture, such as teak or medium oak, to echo the golden-yellow tones of the beach grass in the foreground.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural off-white, unbleached cotton, or soft coastal blue to balance the strong cobalt tones of the water.
• Keep wall decor and accessories minimal, opting for simple ceramics or matte black accents that complement the bold outlines of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The design is built around rich cobalt blue, pale sky blue, crisp white, and warm golden-yellow with earthy brown accents.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, a soft warm off-white keeps the room bright while letting the vibrant blue take centre stage. For a moodier, enveloping palette, pulling the deeper cobalt blue onto neighbouring surfaces creates a striking contrast. Muted sandy tones, pale buff, or warm ochre accents in upholstery and soft furnishings will naturally tie in with the coastal grasses in the foreground.
