Wallpaper - Portofino Escape

Captured by photographer Jan Becke, our Portofino Escape wallpaper mural brings the scenic Italian coastline into clear focus. The composition captures the iconic promontory surrounded by lush Mediterranean greenery, terracotta-roofed villas, a historic church tower, and the deep turquoise waters of the harbour dotted with boats. Rich fern greens, earthy architectural tones, and vivid sea blues establish an expansive, transportive presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this photographic design is easy to hang and creates an open, scenic focal point.

In the room

Because the photographic perspective combines elevated viewpoints with distant sea horizons, we like this design best on a wider, uninterrupted wall. In a living room, placing it along the main wall behind a low sofa allows the full coastal panoramic depth to open up the room without tall furniture breaking the horizon line.

It also works naturally in an airy dining area or a holiday home living space where the generous view out toward the water can establish the visual rhythm of the interior. The contrast between deep tree foliage in the foreground and the bright open sky across the top half helps keep the wall balanced, preventing the rich detail from feeling visually heavy in naturally bright rooms.

Styling it

To let the coastal landscape remain the main focal point, we suggest pairing this mural with low-profile furniture and calm, grounded materials.

Low-slung seating in off-white, oat, or unbleached canvas complements the bright Mediterranean sky, keeping the surrounding space visually light. For tables and cabinetry, mid-tone warm timber or light oak echoes the earthy stone and terracotta notes within the Italian architecture without competing with the detailed foliage. Simple ceramic accents and woven natural textures alongside the wall will enhance the relaxed, sunlit character of the setting.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette anchored by fern greens, warm terracotta, sunlit ochre, soft sky blues, and saturated Mediterranean sea tones.

When choosing surrounding paint colours, we like pairing this wallpaper with soft, warm off-whites or pale stone neutrals on adjacent walls to keep the room bright and open. If you prefer to draw on the deeper tones in the print, muted olive green or warm sandy ochre on woodwork, skirting boards, or nearby textile accents creates a coherent, grounded dialogue with the landscape.
