Wallpaper - Boston Harbor

Our Boston Harbor wallpaper brings the vibrant energy of a coastal skyline indoors through expressive, painterly strokes and rich colour. Created by artist Jeanette Vertentes, the design captures city architecture reflected across shimmering water, balancing bold cobalt blues and deep purples with pops of warm yellow and bright orange. Soft blues and whites drift through the open sky above, giving the whole composition an impressionistic, dreamy feel. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings an artistic focal point to any contemporary interior.

In the room

We see this design working especially well across a main living room wall, where the horizontal balance of the skyline and its water reflection has ample room to unfold. Placing it behind a sofa or along an open dining wall allows the full architectural rhythm to remain in view, giving the space an expressive, gallery-like presence. In a dedicated home office or study, the rich waterfront colours create an inspiring, creative backdrop without overwhelming the working area. Because the motif carries noticeable visual weight through its vivid tones and broad brushwork, we find it looks most balanced on a relatively wide, uninterrupted wall where the reflection can meet the floorline naturally.

Styling it

To let the dynamic painterly character take centre stage, we suggest pairing this mural with contemporary furniture that features clean silhouettes and calm finishes:

• Choose simple furniture with low profiles and tailored upholstery in neutral tones, which balances the expressive brushstrokes without competing for attention.
• Introduce warm wood accents or painted cabinetry in deep navy or slate to echo the darker tones in the water and buildings.
• Keep surrounding accessories understated, opting for matte ceramics or clean sculptural shapes that complement the artistic style of the mural wallpapers.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is grounded in rich cobalt blue, violet, and soft sky tones, brightened by highlights of golden yellow, warm orange, and white. Around the design, we recommend pulling out the softer off-whites or pale sky blues for adjacent painted walls to keep the room feeling open and light. If you prefer a more dramatic, intimate atmosphere, deeper tones such as midnight blue, charcoal, or dark teal on adjoining walls will echo the base of the skyline and highlight the warm golden reflections across the water.
