Wallpaper - Coastal Cliff Highway

A winding two-lane coastal road carves along towering, sun-warmed cliffs, where rugged rock faces meet the deep blue swell and white surf of the ocean below. Created in collaboration with photographer Thomas Winz, our wallpaper captures the dynamic interplay between the sweeping curves of the dark asphalt and the sheer scale of the coastline. Patches of coastal scrub break up the terracotta, ochre, and warm brown cliff faces, grounded by the cooler tones of the open sea. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture, this photographic mural brings an expansive sense of horizon and natural depth to modern interior spaces.

In the room

The panoramic scale and sweeping perspective of this design make it an exceptional focal point across a wide, uninterrupted wall. In a living room or a dedicated study, placing the mural behind a sofa or low desk allows the curve of the highway and the dramatic plunge to the sea to remain fully visible. Because the visual weight is concentrated in the textured cliffs on the left and centre before opening into the water on the right, the motif naturally pulls the eye across the room, giving compact spaces a striking feeling of openness. In a hallway or entryway, it creates an immediate sense of arrival, working particularly well where sightlines can take in the full landscape from an angle.

Styling it

To let the detailed photographic textures lead the room, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined and understated. Low-profile seating and low credenzas prevent visual clutter along the lower rock formations, ensuring the full impact of the landscape is preserved. Natural materials in warm timber tones, such as oiled oak or walnut, echo the earthy rock faces, whilst matte black or charcoal metal details in lighting fixtures or table legs pick up the crisp line of the asphalt road. For soft furnishings, smooth textured weaves in neutral stone or slate grey provide quiet contrast without competing with the rich geological detailing of the mural.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper is defined by warm ochre, burnt terracotta, and dusty brown rock, balanced against the deep indigo, misty blues, and seafoam white of the Pacific surf. When selecting colours for adjacent walls, woodwork, and skirting, deep slate or rich navy creates an enveloping, grounded feel that draws out the ocean hues. If you prefer a lighter, more open atmosphere, soft sandstone, warm off-white, or muted clay tones will seamlessly extend the warmth of the sunlit cliffs throughout the remainder of the interior.
