Wallpaper - By the Shore II

Created by artist Veronique Charron, our By the Shore II wallpaper captures the elegant profile of a stately heron set against a deep navy backdrop with graceful marsh reeds. The illustration balances flat, graphic forms with delicate line work and warm gold accents that outline the plumage. Soft shades of slate blue, gentle grey, and sandy beige give the bird an understated presence, creating a composed coastal motif that brings nature indoors. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design offers an artistic focal point suited to calm, considered interiors.

In the room

In a master bedroom or a guest room, we would place this design directly behind the bed headboard, where the tall vertical posture of the heron naturally anchors the room. The deep navy background creates an intimate, enveloping atmosphere that suits evening relaxation. For a study, library, or home office, the motif introduces a focused, serene backdrop that sits comfortably behind a desk or open shelving.

The rich contrast also works remarkably well in more compact residential areas. In a powder room, entryway, or hallway, the bold graphic scale transforms a smaller wall into an engaging visual moment without overwhelming the space. In a larger living room or dining room, giving the wallpaper a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the silhouette of the reeds and the full scale of the bird to be appreciated from across the room.

Styling it

To complement the coastal yet structured nature of the design, we recommend keeping surrounding furnishings tailored and intentional. Clean-lined mid-century or classic furniture in mid-toned woods pairs naturally with the warm ochre and gold accents in the illustration.

For upholstery and window treatments, smooth linen or matte woven textiles in off-white, oat, or muted stone maintain a soft visual balance against the dark background. Subtle brushed brass or antique gold metal fittings on lighting and mirrors pick up the delicate outlining on the plumage, tying the entire scheme together without feeling overly ornate.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built upon a deep navy blue background, layered with slate blue, taupe grey, sandy beige, and soft gold line details.

When decorating around this wallpaper, we suggest using warm off-whites or soft sand on adjoining walls and woodwork to create a crisp, tailored contrast. For a moodier, more seamless look, colour-matching the surrounding walls and skirting to a deep marine blue or dark ink tone creates a dramatic, cocooning interior where the heron gently emerges from the shadows.
