Wallpaper - Surf Time Yellow

Our Surf Time Yellow wallpaper captures a breezy, retro seaside escape through watercolour-style illustrations scattered across a warm sand-tan background. Created by Dina June, the repeat brings together vintage camper vans carrying surfboards, cheerful pink and turquoise lifeguard huts, pairs of beach chairs, cruiser bicycles with flower baskets, and solitary palm trees. The soft washes of aqua, coral pink, fresh green, and sun-warmed tan give the pattern a playful, relaxed character that instantly lifts a space. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a sun-drenched coastal statement.

In the room

We see this design working wonderfully in rooms where you want to introduce an uplifting, carefree atmosphere. It is an inspired choice for a children’s room, toddler room, or playroom, where the detailed beach motifs give little ones plenty of visual stories to discover. The repeat also feels completely at home in a casual family bathroom, a summer house, or a holiday home bedroom, creating a bright coastal retreat.

Because the motifs are distributed in a multi-directional repeat with plenty of warm sandy background showing through, the design works equally well across all four walls or as a feature wall behind a bed or low toy storage. The medium visual scale ensures that each camper van and lifeguard hut remains clearly legible without overwhelming smaller rooms.

Styling it

To complement the sunny 1970s surf aesthetic, we would pair this design with light, relaxed furnishings that keep the overall room feeling airy and grounded.

• Choose pale or natural timber furniture such as light ash, blonde birch, or rattan to mirror the sandy tone of the wallpaper.
• Bring in textiles in washed cotton or plain linen in soft coral, mint, or crisp off-white to pick up on the beach huts and vintage vans.
• Keep wall decor minimal and let the wallpaper carry the visual pattern, accenting with a simple circular woven rug and painted ceramic details in aqua or soft terracotta.

Colour combinations

The backdrop of our wallpaper is a warm sandy tan, complemented by soft coral pink, turquoise green, palm leaf greens, and clean white highlights.

For adjoining painted walls, skirting boards, and window frames, we suggest pulling directly from the lighter tones in the motif. A soft warm ivory, an airy clotted cream, or a pale seafoam tint will create a gentle transition. If you prefer a slightly more saturated accent for woodwork, shelving, or a painted bedstead, a muted coral pink or washed aqua connects naturally with the beach huts and vintage campers without clashing.
