Wallpaper - Glimpse of the Shore

Our Glimpse of the Shore wallpaper brings together sweeping painterly brushstrokes and a tranquil coastal horizon. Created by artist Julia Purinton, this design features warm dune grasses parted to reveal a strip of sandy shore, deep navy blue water, and a hazy sky above. What we particularly like is how the rich, layered texture of the oil-paint style gives the scene depth without overwhelming a room. Printed to your exact dimensions, our PVC-free mural wallpapers have a subtle paper structure that complements fine art motifs beautifully.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well on a feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or dining area where the expansive horizon can open up the room visually. Because the composition has a strong horizon line across the upper half and rich, grounding tones below, placing it behind a low headboard or a sleek sofa allows the open beach and sky to remain fully in view. In a study or home office, it creates an understated backdrop that feels grounded and calm throughout the working day. For a coastal summer house or lake house, it establishes an immediate connection to the outdoors across a larger uninterrupted wall.

Styling it

To complement the painterly texture of the design, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with natural wood tones and softly woven fabrics. Mid-toned oak, weathered timber, or washed ash bring out the warm, sun-bleached tones in the foreground grasses.

Keep surrounding furniture relatively simple in form so the dynamic brushwork on the wall remains the focus. Soft, unbleached cotton or linen upholstery alongside matte ceramic accents creates a tactile, coastal feel that avoids looking themed or overly busy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is anchored by deep navy blue, warm straw, sand, and pale sky blue. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, or major furnishings, we recommend working with either the warm or cool elements in the painting.

A muted sandy beige or warm off-white on trim and surrounding walls lets the blue water provide a clear focal point. Alternatively, pulling the deeper navy into a statement armchair, velvet cushion, or low credenza gives the room a cohesive, anchored feel.
