Wallpaper - Free Spirit

Our Free Spirit wallpaper brings together the quiet romance of a coastal sunset and the expressive character of an impressionistic oil painting. Created by Jeanette Vertentes, the artwork centres on a solitary sailboat resting on gentle waters, with distant vessels softening into a warm, hazy mist. A delicate palette of mauve, muted pink, soft orange, and hazy blue sweeps across the sky and reflects across the water, creating a fluid, luminous composition. Custom made to measure and entirely PVC-free, our wallpaper paper has a subtle physical structure that complements the painted character of the artwork.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal wall in a bedroom or living room, where the expansive horizon and gentle water reflections have room to unfold. Because the painting carries a distinct horizontal balance, placing it behind a low headboard or a streamlined sofa allows the boat and the open sky to remain clearly visible without feeling crowded. In a quiet home office or reading corner, the soft gradient across the water creates an open, tranquil backdrop. The low contrast across the pastel tones also means the mural wallpaper can sit comfortably in rooms with gentle daylight or softer evening lamp light without overpowering the surrounding space.

Styling it

To let the painterly nuances of the design stand out, we would keep the surrounding interior relatively simple and grounded. Natural wood furniture in muted or mid-toned finishes complements the classic maritime theme without clashing with the artwork. Soft woven upholstery in chalky neutrals or unbleached tones keeps the visual weight balanced around the wall. We would avoid competing high-contrast patterns nearby, choosing instead understated textures that echo the relaxed, coastal feel of the scene.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a delicate harmony of mauve, pale sunset pink, soft apricot orange, and hazy coastal blues. When planning surrounding surfaces, we would draw from the quieter tones in the sky and water. Muted chalky whites, pale dove greys, or warm off-white shades on adjacent walls and woodwork create a seamless, airy transition. For accent details in cushions, throws, or decorative ceramics, subtle terracotta, dusty blush, or slate blue naturally pick up the subtle highlights found within the boat and reflections.
