Wallpaper - Gentle Wind

Three sailboats drift across quiet water in our Gentle Wind wallpaper by Jeanette Vertentes, their tall sails catching a subtle evening breeze. An oil-painted coastal landscape unfolds behind them, where soft pastel tones of stone blue, peach, warm beige, and muted pink blend gently across the sky and reflect in the rippling water below. Along the horizon, a low tree line adds depth and grounding to the open scene. Made-to-measure and entirely PVC-free, this design features a subtle paper structure that complements its painterly maritime aesthetic.

In the room

The open composition and horizontal expanse of water give this mural wallpaper a particularly airy and serene feel. In a living room or bedroom, we would place it on a primary feature wall behind a low-backed sofa or headboard to keep the central vessels and horizon line in clear view. The gentle vertical lines of the masts also work beautifully in rooms with standard or lower ceilings, drawing the eye upward without overcrowding the space. In a study, dining room, or hallway, the balanced pastel palette introduces interest without demanding heavy contrast from surrounding walls.

Styling it

The impressionist, oil-painted character pairs naturally with coastal, New England, or classic interior styles. We suggest choosing low-profile painted furniture in chalky whites, dove greys, or muted navy to let the artwork take centre stage. For soft furnishings, washed linen curtains, textured cotton throws, and unvarnished natural wood finishes help mirror the relaxed, maritime atmosphere of the seascape.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper brings together soft stone blues, dusky pinks, sunset peach, and neutral beige against the dark silhouettes of boat hulls and distant shoreline. To build a cohesive palette around it, we recommend pairing the wall mural with surrounding walls in off-white, pale sky blue, or warm sand. Deeper accent tones such as coastal navy, slate grey, or muted moss green can be picked up through cushions, rugs, and woodwork to mirror the darker details in the painting.
