Wallpaper - Saltwater and Petals

Our Saltwater and Petals wallpaper by Maggie Sackmann captures an atmospheric coastal impression where land, sea, and mist softly converge. Rendered in an expressive oil-painting style, the composition balances deep earthy browns against misty whites and subtle horizon tones, with delicate petal-like forms drifting across the landscape. We love how the brushwork creates depth and quiet visual movement without overwhelming the room. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a considered, painterly character to interior walls.

In the room

We find this design works exceptionally well in spaces where you want a calm, grounding focal point. In a living room, placing our wallpaper along a main feature wall behind a sofa allows the full sweep of the horizon and painterly transitions to unfold naturally. It is equally suited to a bedroom or guest room behind a low headboard, where the earthy palette sets a peaceful, restful backdrop.

Because the landscape composition has a gentle horizontal balance, it also sits comfortably in a dining room, study, or home office. In smaller spaces like an entryway or powder room, the artwork can be wrapped across adjoining walls to create an enveloping, gallery-like feel.

Styling it

The natural warmth and painterly texture of our design pair effortlessly with both heritage and modern rustic interiors. We would lean into organic textures and let the wall remain the primary expressive element in the room.

• Pair with natural wood furniture in warm oak or rich walnut to echo the deeper brown tones within the landscape.
• Introduce unbleached linen curtains, woven wool rugs, or textured ceramic accents that complement the soft, matte feel of the painted scene.
• Keep surrounding metallic hardware subdued, choosing antique brass or blackened bronze fixtures rather than high-gloss chrome.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by deep earthy browns, soft grey horizons, and misty chalk whites. To build a harmonious room around it, we suggest taking cues from these tonal gradations.

Warm off-whites, pale linen tones, and soft stone greys work beautifully on adjacent walls and woodwork, keeping the overall scheme airy while allowing the darker areas of the mural to stand out. For a moodier, more cohesive setting in a dining room or library, deeper taupe, warm umber, or muted olive can be drawn onto skirting boards and cabinetry.
