Wallpaper - Bathing Beauties I

Our Bathing Beauties I wallpaper by Anne Tavoletti brings a nostalgic seaside mood into the home with a soft watercolour-inspired scene. The design features a figure relaxing on a sandy shore in a blue and white checkered swimsuit and a striped sun hat, set against gentle ocean waves, distant rolling hills, and a pale sky. What we particularly like is the balance between the deeper navy accents and the lighter coastal wash, giving the wall a calm, painterly character with a subtle 1950s sensibility. Made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, our wall murals are straightforward to hang and easy to work with.

In the room

Because this is a scenic illustration with an expansive coastal horizon, we would give our design a relatively clear, uninterrupted wall where the full landscape can unfold. In a bedroom or guest room, it makes a wonderfully tranquil backdrop behind a low headboard, creating an airy focal point without dominating the space. In a vacation home or a bright sitting room, placing it along a main wall allows the ocean wash and gentle sandy foreground to add depth to the room.

The low-contrast background and soft watercolour tones also work well in spaces where you want visual character without heavy visual weight. We see this working beautifully on a single feature wall opposite a window, where natural daylight brings out the delicate tonal shifts between the soft blues and sandy neutrals.

Styling it

To complement the relaxed coastal and vintage feel of the artwork, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and unpretentious. Lower-profile pieces in natural light wood or painted white finishes allow the horizontal lines of the beach and water to remain clearly visible.

For textiles, simple woven fabrics in crisp white, unbleached cotton, or soft cream sit naturally alongside the beach scene. A light woven rug in jute or pale wool anchors the room while echoing the sandy tones of the foreground, letting our mural wallpapers serve as the central artistic element in a calm, considered interior.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on classic navy blue, soft sky blue, and warm sandy neutrals, balanced with clean white details in the checkered swimsuit and sun hat.

When choosing paint colours and materials for adjacent walls and woodwork, we recommend staying close to this natural palette. A warm off-white or soft linen shade on adjoining walls keeps the room feeling bright and cohesive. For a slightly more defined look, pulling out the deep navy tone on skirting boards, window frames, or painted occasional furniture creates a crisp, intentional contrast that ties directly back into the motif.
