Wallpaper - Old Beach

Created by James Wiens, our Old Beach wallpaper brings a nostalgic, coastal mood to the wall through a vintage woodie wagon carrying a surfboard on its roof. The painted-looking motif is set against an off-white, horizontally panelled background, pairing soft teal bodywork with warm timber panelling on the car doors. We make our mural wallpapers made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions, and our wallpapers are PVC-free with a subtle structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this design working naturally as a feature wall in a holiday home, a relaxed guest room, or a casual sitting area. Because the classic car forms a distinct focal point across the lower half of the composition, we would place this wall mural where key furniture, such as a low sofa, credenza, or daybed, does not completely conceal the wheels and bodywork.

The pale, horizontal background gives the upper portion of the wall an open, airy feel, which makes it particularly effective in rooms with lower ceilings or compact layouts where a darker pictorial scene might feel too heavy.

Styling it

To keep the nostalgic coastal spirit grounded, we would pair this wallpaper with relaxed, understated furnishings. Warm, weathered timbers or light rattan pieces echo the honey-toned panels on the car, while natural canvas or linen upholstery complements the painted character of the artwork. We would avoid high-gloss finishes and overly modern, polished metals, choosing instead brushed bronze, soft iron, or simple painted surfaces that sit quietly alongside the illustrative style.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features soft teal, warm amber wood tones, muted chrome accents, and a weathered off-white backdrop with subtle grey line work. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend using soft chalky whites or warm sand tones on the surrounding walls and woodwork. Muted sea greens, washed denim blues, or rich ochre accents in cushions and throws will pick up on the specific shades of the wagon without overwhelming the room.
