Wallpaper - Sunday Afternoon

Created by Jeanette Vertentes, our Sunday Afternoon wallpaper brings an expressive coastal shoreline into your interior. Broad, painterly brushstrokes depict a sandy path curving down toward turquoise waters and a sweep of beach, bordered by dunes alive with strokes of violet, magenta, lush green, and deep indigo. The open sky blends soft clouds of pale pink, grey, and cream, giving the scene an airy, painterly depth. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an artistic coastal perspective that balances lively colour with a serene horizon.

In the room

Because the composition leads the eye along the curving sandy path toward the open water on the left, we find this design works exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room. Placing it behind a lower sofa or low-profile media unit allows the sweeping perspective of the beach and horizon to remain visible across the space. In a holiday home or relaxed sitting room, it establishes an open, painterly focal point that brings the feeling of coastal light indoors without overwhelming smaller wall arrangements.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and rich colour palette lead the room, we would keep the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded and simple. Low-slung seating in neutral upholstery, such as warm off-white or unbleached canvas, allows the vibrant dune vegetation to take centre stage. Pair the wall with light, natural timber furniture to echo the sandy tones of the path and keep the overall interior feeling breezy and informal.

Colour combinations

The artwork features rich aquamarine blues and cerulean in the sea, balanced by vibrant magenta, purple, green, and deep navy in the dune grasses, all anchored by sandy beige and soft sky tones. On neighbouring walls, we suggest soft warm neutrals, sandy off-white, or a very muted, pale sea-glass blue. These lighter shades allow the rich, saturated colours of the shoreline to stand out naturally while maintaining a harmonious, open feel throughout the room.
