Wallpaper - The South Strand

Our The South Strand wallpaper captures an open coastal landscape painted by Emil Carlsen, where a resting wooden boat sits along soft sands under an expansive sky. The composition carries a gentle, impressionist character, balancing the quiet sea with drifting clouds rendered in pale powder blue and delicate lavender tones. With its soft pastel palette and painterly brushwork, this design brings an airy sense of horizon into the home. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

Because of the vast sky and quiet horizon, we see this design working particularly well across a wider, uninterrupted wall where the full panorama can unfold. In a bedroom, placing this scenic mural behind the bed creates an open, tranquil focal point without feeling visually heavy. It also sits comfortably in a living room or a dedicated reading space, especially where generous natural daylight highlights the nuanced transitions between sea, sand, and sky. For holiday homes and coastal-inspired rooms, the expansive horizontal balance helps smaller spaces feel noticeably more open.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this painterly seascape with restrained, natural interior elements that let the artwork set the mood:

• Balance the soft pastel landscape with warm wood tones or painted furniture in quiet off-white to maintain an organic, relaxed atmosphere.
• Choose understated upholstery and simple woven textiles rather than busy patterns, letting the wallpaper serve as the main visual layer in the room.
• Introduce gentle matte ceramic or stone accents that reflect the sandy foreground of the painting without distracting from the open horizon.

Colour combinations

The design centres around delicate powder blue, soft lavender, warm sandy beige, and creamy cloud whites. To build a cohesive palette around our mural wallpapers, we suggest pairing them with adjacent walls in muted chalky white, soft stone, or pale biscuit. If you prefer deeper contrast, muted slate blue or dusty navy on painted woodwork or accent pieces will ground the lighter pastels beautifully.
