Wallpaper - Big Sur

Our Big Sur wallpaper captures the dramatic coastline of McWay Falls, where a slender waterfall drops directly onto a secluded sandy cove. The photographic composition balances the luminous aquamarine water of the Pacific with the rugged, earthy tones of coastal cliffs, forested bluffs, and misty ocean horizon. Tree branches frame the upper view, creating a natural sense of depth that draws the eye into the cove. Printed to order on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings the serene, expansive atmosphere of the California coast into the home.

In the room

In a living room, this design works best on an open, relatively uninterrupted feature wall where the full breadth of the coastal landscape can be appreciated. The horizontal scale and clear focal point of the cove naturally expand the visual horizon of a room, making it an engaging backdrop behind a main seating area or along an open-plan wall. We also see this working beautifully in a holiday home, where the tranquil combination of forest and sea complements a relaxed, nature-oriented setting.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this scenic wallpaper with low-profile furniture that keeps the horizon and coastline visible. Simple upholstered pieces in warm neutral fabrics allow the rich tones of the landscape to stand out without competing for attention. Introducing natural, untreated or oiled woods, such as weathered teak or warm oak, creates a tactile connection to the coastal cliffs and pine bluffs depicted in the photograph.

Colour combinations

The palette is anchored by the vivid aquamarine blue and turquoise of the ocean water, set against warm earthy terracotta, ochre cliffs, and deep evergreen foliage. To complement these tones, consider framing the wallpaper with soft off-white or sandy beige on adjacent walls to keep the space open and light. Deep forest green or slate blue on woodwork and accent textiles can pick up the cooler elements of the coastline.
