Wallpaper - The Bay

Our The Bay wallpaper, created by Terry Thompson, brings a wide panoramic coastal view into the home. A calm blue bay stretches towards the horizon, framed by distant rolling hills and a modern city skyline along the opposite shore. A small island sits quietly in the centre of the water, balanced by a pier and lush green trees that frame the right edge of the composition. The cool ocean blues and clear sky with soft white clouds give the scene an expansive, open character. Printed as made-to-measure wall murals on our PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, this design is straightforward to hang and brings a refreshing coastal perspective to your interior.

In the room

We see this panoramic design working particularly well in a living room, where a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the full scope of the horizon, water, and shoreline to unfold naturally. In a vacation home or sitting area, placing our wallpaper behind a low sofa or along an open feature wall helps preserve the depth of the view without obscuring the island or skyline. The horizontal composition creates a feeling of visual breadth, making it especially effective across a main wall where you want to introduce a sense of open air.

Styling it

To balance the detailed scenic view, we suggest keeping nearby furniture relatively simple in form and visual weight:

• Choose clean-lined seating and low-profile furniture so the horizon line across the wall remains visible and uncluttered.
• Bring in warm, natural wood tones such as oak or ash to introduce an organic counterweight to the cool ocean and sky tones.
• Layer in neutral textiles like unbleached cotton or linen in off-white and soft grey to complement the breezy, coastal feel without adding competing patterns.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper centres on ocean blues, soft sky tones, cloud white, and the natural green of the coastal foliage. When decorating around this palette, warm whites and pale sandy neutrals work beautifully on adjacent walls and woodwork, softening the cooler blues. Muted navy or slate accents in cushions or throws can ground the deeper water shades, while soft forest greens in pottery or houseplants naturally connect with the trees in the foreground.
