Wallpaper - Surfs Up

Our Surfs Up wallpaper brings together six distinct surfboards standing upright against a soft, light blue background. Designed by Haley Knighten, each board has its own individual character, combining warm brown tones, crisp white stripes, accents of green, and a standout blue board with yellow detailing. The graphic vertical composition gives the design a relaxed, coastal feel while keeping the overall layout clean and open. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working naturally on a feature wall in a bedroom, teenage room, or playroom where you want to introduce an active, surf-inspired theme without cluttering the space. The strong vertical lines of the standing surfboards draw the eye upward, making it an effective choice for rooms with standard ceiling heights or for anchoring a wall behind a bed or low desk. In a living room or family space in a coastal home or summer cottage, it creates a cheerful, graphic focal point across an uninterrupted wall where all six boards can remain clearly visible.

Styling it

To keep the balance in the room, we would pair this design with simple, unpainted wood furniture and clean-lined coastal or contemporary pieces. Lighter wood tones like pine, birch, or natural ash sit comfortably alongside the warm brown surfboard graphics, while mid-toned woods pick up the darker detailing across the boards.

We suggest keeping the surrounding textiles uncomplicated, using plain off-white, sandy beige, or unbleached canvas rather than busy patterns that might compete with the board artwork. Painted furniture in navy, muted blue, or olive green also ties in naturally with the individual board patterns.

Colour combinations

The design is built around a gentle light blue background balanced by earthy brown tones, clean white, fresh green, deep blue, and a small accent of yellow.

When choosing paint for the surrounding walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, we like pairing this mural with soft off-white, light warm sand, or a pale sky blue that echoes the background tone. If you want more contrast around the room, a deep navy blue or a muted olive green picked up from the surfboard artwork creates a grounded, cohesive look across woodwork or adjacent painted surfaces.
