Wallpaper - Tatami-ishi

Our Tatami-ishi wallpaper captures the rare geometry of hexagonal volcanic stones meeting the tide at sunset. Photographed by Jan Becke, the composition layers wet, mosaic-like rock formations in the foreground against calm open water, distant hills, and an evening sky shifting from deep blue to soft pink and orange. The balance between structured stone geometry and open horizon gives the photographic motif a calm, expansive visual character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper creates an immersive scenic feature across residential walls.

In the room

We see this photographic landscape working especially well in a living room or a dedicated meditation space where the low horizon line can open up the room visually. The natural perspective pulls the gaze outward toward the distant hills, making it a strong choice for a main feature wall behind a low sofa or along a wider uninterrupted wall. Because the detail is concentrated across the lower foreground rocks, keeping larger pieces of tall furniture away from the centre allows the hexagonal formations to remain fully visible. In rooms that receive changing daylight, the transition between the warm sky tones and cool water takes on different depth throughout the day.

Styling it

To complement the organic geometry and calm mood of the photography, we would lean towards an organic modern or contemporary aesthetic. Low-profile seating in neutral woven fabrics keeps the sightline clear toward the horizon.

We would pair this wall mural with understated materials like lightly textured stone or matte dark metal to reflect the visual weight of the shoreline rocks without competing with them. Keeping decorative clutter to a minimum around the feature wall allows the natural scale and open water in the motif to set the tone of the interior.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a cool base of deep blue, sky blue, and slate tones across the rocks and water, gently contrasted by sunset warmth in shades of soft pink and muted orange along the horizon.

To build a balanced palette around the design, we recommend pulling the softer sky blues or warm off-white tones onto adjacent painted walls and woodwork to maintain an airy feel. For larger upholstery or architectural accents, deeper navy, charcoal, or earthy terracotta tones can echo the darker rocks and sunset glow, anchoring the space naturally.
