Wallpaper - Fresh Northerlies

Our Fresh Northerlies wallpaper by Jan Becke captures an open coastal landscape where wind-rippled sand dunes meet tufts of beach grass, leading the eye out towards the sea under a cloud-filled sky. What we particularly like about this photographic design is the interplay between the fine, shadow-sculpted sand in the foreground and the soft, expansive horizon beyond. The natural palette combines warm sand and earthy tones with muted coastal blues and fresh green grass. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, our wallpaper paper features a subtle surface structure that lends gentle depth to large wall areas.

In the room

Because of its horizontal landscape perspective, we see this wall mural working especially well on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall. In a bedroom, placing it behind the bed creates an open, tranquil backdrop that draws the eye across the room. It also suits a dedicated meditation room, quiet study, or vacation home living area where you want to introduce a calm, coastal atmosphere. The strong low-angle perspective gives the foreground sand real presence, so keeping lower furniture relatively simple allows the detail of the dune textures to remain fully visible.

Styling it

To complement the natural coastal character of our design, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture and decor grounded in understated, organic textures.

• Pair the mural with warm, light-toned woods and unpolished finishes that echo the drift and tone of the beach sand.
• Choose low-profile furniture along the feature wall so the sweeping horizon and wind-swept grass remain the focal point of the space.
• Introduce relaxed, loosely woven textiles in off-white, oat, or unbleached cotton to reinforce the airy seaside feel without adding competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The design centres on warm sand, soft ochre, deep sea blue, and grassy greens beneath cool sky tones. For adjacent walls and painted surfaces, we suggest soft chalky whites, pale stone, or gentle sandy neutrals to let the mural wallpaper transition smoothly into the rest of the room. If you prefer a richer accent elsewhere in the space, deeper coastal blues or muted olive tones drawn from the grasses work beautifully on upholstery, cabinetry, or smaller decorative pieces.
