Wallpaper - Fresh Ocean Air

Our Fresh Ocean Air wallpaper, created by Kate Jarvik Birch, captures a quiet coastal path leading the eye toward a deep blue sea. Painted with a soft watercolour look, the composition balances tall grasses in earthy shades of warm green and subtle orange with rustic wooden fence posts that draw perspective down to the shoreline. In the distance, gentle white waves roll under a pale sky dotted with light clouds, while small seaside cottages rest peacefully near the water. Produced to your exact measurements on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture, this design brings an expansive, natural horizon into the home.

In the room

Because the path creates a strong sense of depth, we like using this design on a main feature wall where the perspective has room to unfold. In a living room, it works wonderfully behind a low sofa, letting the horizon and sky sit comfortably above eye level. In a bedroom, placing it behind the headboard gives the room a tranquil, open outlook. The gentle landscape composition also suits dining rooms, home offices, and hallways where a scenic view adds visual interest without overwhelming the space with heavy, repetitive patterning.

Styling it

We recommend keeping the surrounding furnishings light and unhurried to mirror the coastal mood of the scene. Simple painted furniture in off-white, soft stone, or pale grey allows the colours of the landscape to stand out naturally. If you are introducing wood, lighter finishes such as bleached pine, ash, or pale oak sit comfortably alongside the rustic wooden posts depicted in the illustration.

For soft furnishings, unpatterned fabrics with a natural weave, like simple cotton or linen, complement the watercolour character without competing with the detailed grass and coastline.

Colour combinations

The design centres on deep ocean blues and pale sky tones, grounded by earthy greens, soft sand, and warm ochre in the foreground grasses. To create a cohesive scheme across adjacent painted walls and woodwork, consider drawing out the paler neutral tones from the sand and sky. Soft off-whites, warm chalky neutrals, or muted sea-foam greens on neighbouring walls help integrate the scenic mural wallpapers into the wider room, while accents of deep navy or slate blue can echo the water.
