Wallpaper - Bathing Beauties II

Our Bathing Beauties II wallpaper brings a painterly 1930s seaside scene into the home, created by artist Silvia Vassileva. Two figures rest on the shore in vintage swimwear: one standing in a red suit patterned with white diamonds and shielding her eyes beneath a sun hat, the other seated beside a colourful beach ball in a grey polka dot suit and swim cap. Warm sand tones anchor the lower section, meeting soft ocean blues and a pale sky that give the composition an open, relaxed character. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, bringing nostalgic warmth to a feature wall or dedicated living area.

In the room

Because the design is arranged as an expansive figurative beach scene, we think it works best on an uninterrupted wall where the full composition can unfold without being cut off by tall furniture. In a living room or bedroom, positioning the mural wallpapers behind a low sofa or a simple bed frame allows the figures and the horizontal horizon line to remain clearly visible.

The motif also feels right at home in spaces dedicated to leisure, such as a dressing room, powder room or summer house. In compact rooms like a cloakroom, the open sea and sky draw the eye outward, while the warm sandy foreground keeps the space feeling grounded.

Styling it

To let the painterly character of the design lead the room, we suggest pairing it with clean, simple furnishings that echo its retro mood without cluttering the scene.

• Choose warm wooden pieces in light oak or mid-toned timber, which naturally reflect the sandy foreground and soft coastal light.
• Introduce understated textiles such as washed linen or unbleached cotton in cream or soft oatmeal to maintain an easygoing, airy atmosphere.
• Add small accents that pick up on the swimsuit details, like a muted terracotta ceramic or deep crimson cushion, alongside a quiet touch of grey or off-white.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a warm foundation of sandy beige, soft ocean blue, muted grey, crisp white and rich retro red.

For the surrounding walls and woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites or warm sand shades that blend seamlessly into the edge of the mural. If you prefer more contrast, a soft coastal blue or a muted stone grey on adjacent walls will pick up the cooler tones of the water and swim cap. Deep red accents work well when used sparingly in decorative items, drawing out the focal point of the standing figure.
