Wallpaper - By the Sea I

Capturing a breezy, sun-bleached coastal moment, our By the Sea I wallpaper by Elizabeth Urquhart brings the airy calm of the shoreline indoors. The photographic composition showcases slender coconut palm trees standing along a pale sandy beach, set against the soft horizon of a tranquil sea and an open sky. We particularly like the delicate, natural detail in the palm fronds, where muted green tones meet warm sandy hues and soft coastal blues. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and is entirely PVC-free with a subtle paper structure.

In the room

We love this photographic wall mural on an open, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon line and soaring palm tops have room to breathe. In a living room or a dedicated dining space, placing the design behind a low sofa or a dining setting creates an expansive, window-like vista that visually opens up the space. The open composition also works wonderfully in a bright bedroom or guest room, grounding the bed against the pale sand while allowing the leafy canopy to frame the upper half of the wall. Because the overall palette is light and airy, it sits comfortably in both sunlit rooms and spaces where you want to foster a sense of calm and gentle daytime light.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed, coastal character of our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing the design with clean-lined contemporary furniture and unpretentious materials. Low-profile seating keeps the horizon open, while light-toned woods such as ash or pale oak mirror the natural warmth of the beach sand. Textures such as woven cane, rattan accents, or washed neutral linens harmonise effortlessly with the tropical foliage without overpowering the photographic detail. We recommend keeping decorative accents simple and uncluttered, allowing the natural seaside scene to act as the primary visual anchor in the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a gentle, sun-softened palette: fern greens and muted palm tones, balanced by bleached white sand, soft neutral bark, and pale ocean blues. When choosing surrounding wall colours, soft off-whites, warm sands, or delicate chalky neutrals create a seamless transition around the room. If you want to introduce subtle contrast through trim, painted joinery, or upholstery, muted sea greens or quiet sky blues draw directly from the tranquil coastal landscape.
