Wallpaper - Pacific Surf III Sepia

Our Pacific Surf III Sepia wallpaper by Nathan Larson captures a surfer riding a breaking ocean wave, framed by a rugged coastal headland and misty horizon. Rendered in a weathered sepia monochrome with vintage photographic texture and visible grain, the design balances active ocean swell with the quiet atmosphere of a classic coastal photograph. The composition places the surfer in mid-wave against dark rolling water and white seafoam, creating a striking focal point with genuine photographic depth. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because this photographic wall mural carries a strong horizontal horizon and a clear central focal point, we see it working particularly well on a main feature wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office. Giving the design an uninterrupted wall allows the dynamic spray of the breaking wave and the distant shoreline to establish full depth across the space. In a study or sitting room, positioning the wallpaper behind a low sofa, desk, or low credenza keeps the surfer and the wave line clearly visible without fragmenting the composition.

Styling it

The vintage photographic character and sepia tonal scale pair naturally with laid-back, contemporary, or mid-century interior styles. We would keep the surrounding furniture relatively grounded, using warm timber tones such as teak or dark oak alongside natural woven textures to complement the organic ocean theme. Matte black accents or weathered metal details can echo the deeper tones in the water and wetsuit, while unbleached linen or textured off-white upholstery keeps the room feeling relaxed and balanced.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on deep sepia charcoal, warm slate, muted sand, and soft cream seafoam. For adjoining walls and woodwork, warm off-whites, pale biscuit, or soft linen greys help keep the room cohesive without competing with the tonal contrast of the mural. If you prefer deeper surroundings, charcoal or warm espresso tones on adjacent woodwork can create an intimate, gallery-like feel that grounds the photographic print.
