Wallpaper - Lobster Boats

Our Lobster Boats wallpaper captures a tranquil coastal harbour scene photographed by Jim Wiebe. Wooden fishing boats painted in bold primary red, blue, and yellow rest peacefully on calm water, their bright hulls casting clear reflections across the gentle surface. Behind them sits a traditional fishing village backdrop with weathered grey shingle buildings, stacked lobster traps, and a rustic log and plank dock leading toward a rocky breakwater under an open sky blue backdrop. We produce all our wallpapers made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, giving this photographic mural a grounded, authentic presence on the wall.

In the room

Because of the panoramic horizontal composition and open horizon, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wider, relatively uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, dining space, or bedroom. Giving the scene space across a main wall allows the full harbour landscape and water reflections to unfold without being cut off by bulky tall furniture. It feels naturally at home in a coastal retreat, lake house, or any room where you want to introduce a calm, nostalgic maritime atmosphere.

Styling it

The vivid primary colours on the boats stand out against the soft weathered greys and blues of the village, so we would keep the surrounding furniture relatively understated to let the wall mural take centre stage:

• Natural, weathered timber furniture or muted painted pieces echo the rustic wooden dock and traditional shingle cladding without competing for attention.
• Clean-lined upholstery in neutral tones like oat or soft denim complements the coastal palette while balancing the rich photographic detail of the scene.
• Simple, unadorned architectural accents and maritime-inspired touches such as woven rope details or matte dark metal fixtures quietly reinforce the harbour aesthetic.

Colour combinations

The palette of our Lobster Boats design is built around soft sky blue, weathered timber greys, and water tones, accented by vibrant pops of boat-paint red and sunny yellow. For adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend quiet off-whites, misty greys, or muted coastal blues to maintain an airy, expansive feel. If you want to introduce subtle warmth, soft sandy tones or pale unbleached linen shades pick up on the timber dock and rocky shoreline beautifully.
