Wallpaper - Close to Me

Our Close to Me wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes translates the vibrant movement of a coastal landscape into an expressive, painterly composition. Broad brushstrokes and visible palette knife work blend warm sandy beige and soft browns across the foreground, while sweeping pastel washes of sky blue, blush pink and seafoam green capture the shifting surface of coastal water. Along the horizon, a deep strip of lush green headland anchors the design beneath an expansive sky of billowing, light-filled clouds. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an expansive living room wall or behind a bed in a restful master bedroom. Because the coastal horizon sits in the upper third of the mural, the artwork naturally opens up a space, drawing the eye upward and outward into the atmospheric sky. In an open-plan dining area or a sunlit home office, the painterly landscape brings an organic, artistic focal point without overwhelming surrounding functional areas. The horizontal flow of the beach and water makes it particularly suited to wide, uninterrupted walls where the full painterly sweep can be appreciated.

Styling it

To complement the expressive character of our mural wallpapers, we recommend balancing the artwork with calm, tactile interior elements. Clean-lined contemporary furniture or organic modern silhouettes allow the bold brushwork to take centre stage. Upholstery in natural, unbleached linen or textured bouclé echoes the pale sand and cloud tones, while occasional accents in dark stained timber or blackened metal echo the grounding green-black tones along the headland.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate harmony of warm sand, oatmeal and soft beige balanced by pastel shades of cerulean blue, lavender-pink, mint green and a grounding line of dark forest green. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-white, light greige or soft chalky beige create an effortless, cohesive backdrop. If you prefer a richer contrast, pulling out a muted slate blue or a deep botanical green on adjacent trim or cabinetry adds deliberate visual depth to the room.
