Wallpaper - Lobster Fishing

Our Lobster Fishing wallpaper captures a peaceful coastal scene photographed by Jim Wiebe, where weathered wooden fishing shacks sit along a quiet pier. The striking red shack with its crisp white door provides a strong focal point between pale timber buildings, surrounded by stacked lobster traps and colourful buoys. Soft purple and lilac tones fill the sky, casting a calm glow over the water while distant grassy land frames the horizon. We produce this design as a made-to-measure mural on our PVC-free paper, featuring a subtle surface structure that brings out the authentic maritime character.

In the room

Because the photographic composition features a clear horizon and grounded pier details, we see this working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full breadth of the harbour scene can unfold. In a living room or dining space, positioning the mural behind lower furniture allows the weathered shacks, traps, and calm water to remain completely visible. For a lakeside retreat or holiday home bedroom, placing the design behind a simple bed frame creates a restful focal point that brings the quiet charm of traditional coastal life directly into the interior.

Styling it

We recommend styling this design with elements that reflect its classic New England seaside aesthetic without competing with the detailed scenery.

• Pair the mural with painted white or weathered timber furniture to echo the rustic textures of the pier and shacks.
• Introduce understated textiles in natural off-white or washed linen to maintain a relaxed coastal balance.
• Keep wall decor minimal on adjacent surfaces so the photographic depth of the harbour remains the primary focus.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on soft lilac, muted purple, and earthy timber tones, accented by the rich red and bright white of the central fishing shack. For surrounding walls and woodwork, warm off-whites and soft chalky neutrals provide a clean, balanced backdrop that lets the sky tones glow. If you want to draw out the deeper accents, muted slate grey or subtle navy on cabinetry and trim will ground the room while complementing the calm coastal atmosphere.
