Wallpaper - Irish Rocks

Our Irish Rocks wallpaper, designed by Silvia Vassileva, captures the raw atmospheric beauty of coastal cliffs meeting the ocean with an impressionistic, oil-painted character. Rich earthy browns and deep forest greens form the rugged cliff face, softened by painterly brushstrokes of clifftop grass. Below, the water moves in deep ocean blues textured with layered waves, set beneath a moody, overcast sky of misty blues, soft whites, and faint green undertones. Produced to order as custom-sized wall murals, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle surface texture in the paper that complements painterly artwork.

In the room

In a living room, this scenic landscape mural works wonderfully across a main feature wall behind a sofa or along a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full cliffside composition can unfold. Because the design has substantial visual depth and sweeping horizontal movement, giving it a relatively clear surface ensures that the painterly transition from rock to sea remains visible. We also see this working exceptionally well in a quiet bedroom or a dedicated meditation space, where the atmospheric, overcast coastal mood establishes a calm, grounded backdrop. In rooms with generous natural daylight, the subtler tonal shifts between the misty sky, deep green cliff tops, and rich sea blues reveal extra nuance.

Styling it

We suggest balancing the expressive brushwork of the mural wallpapers by keeping surrounding furniture silhouettes simple and grounded. Low-profile seating in textured woven upholstery prevents the horizon line from being broken, while allowing the visual weight of the coastal scene to anchor the space.

Warm wood finishes, such as mid-tone oak or aged timber, naturally pick up on the earthy brown tones of the rock face without competing with the painted details. To preserve the moody, heritage feel of the design, pair it with matte ceramics and understated accents rather than high-gloss or ornate metallic details.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a palette of deep forest green, earthy browns, oceanic blues, and misty, cloud-softened whites. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting, soft off-whites with neutral undertones or muted stone shades keep the space bright while allowing the deeper hues of the cliffside to take centre stage. For a moodier, more enveloping interior, deep olive, slate blue, or moss green on adjacent surfaces and upholstery can draw out the rich, shadowed tones within the ocean and coastline.
