Wallpaper - Is that Waves?

Our Is that Waves? wallpaper brings an expansive coastal vista into the room through broad, expressive brushwork. Created by Silvia Vassileva, the design depicts a painterly seascape where soft sky tones, rolling cloud forms, and deep blue ocean layers meet a gentle sandy shoreline. The visible oil-painted aesthetic gives the horizon a serene, atmospheric depth across the wall. Made to measure for your exact dimensions, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper texture that complements the artistic quality of the motif.

In the room

In a bedroom, we see this working beautifully on the wall behind the bed, where the horizontal composition of the shoreline and sea establishes a calm, restful backdrop. The broad perspective naturally opens up the space, making it just as fitting for a living room feature wall where the landscape has ample room to be viewed from across the room. Because the composition relies on wide horizontal bands of sea and sky, we recommend placing it on a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall so the full sweep of the horizon remains visible.

Styling it

The cool blue and grey tones of the seascape create a natural balance alongside warm wooden furniture, such as natural oak, which mirrors the sandy shoreline at the base of the motif. To keep the focus on the painted texture of the landscape, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined contemporary furniture and tactile woven fabrics in soft neutrals.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a cool palette of deep ocean blues, slate tones, and pale cloud greys, balanced by warm sand and soft foam highlights along the water's edge. To complement the mural wallpapers, we recommend pairing the surrounding walls or woodwork with soft off-whites, warm sandy neutrals, or a muted grey-blue drawn directly from the sky in the painting.
