Wallpaper - Surf Times

Created by Dina June, our Surf Times wallpaper brings a fluid, rhythmic scallop motif to the wall with soft watercolor-like washes and layered arched forms. The composition builds upward in overlapping curves of sea green, soft yellow, warm sand, and gentle coral-pink accents, separated by crisp white negative space that keeps the pattern airy. What we particularly like is the hand-painted appearance of the pigment transitions, where transparent layers of color pool and shift naturally across each arch. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

The arched fan repeat gives this design a gentle, uplifting visual rhythm that works especially well across full rooms or defined feature walls. In a nursery, toddler room, or playroom, the rounded geometry and pastel tones introduce playful movement without overwhelming the room with harsh contrast. Because the motif carries an open, scalloped cadence, we also see it working nicely in a bedroom behind a headboard or along a bathroom wall, where the watery sea green and warm coral tones feel natural and refreshing.

In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the gentle translucency within the painted brushstrokes becomes easy to appreciate, highlighting the soft gradation between green and yellow. For long or narrow wall areas, the overlapping arches create a horizontal continuity that helps anchor the space comfortably.

Styling it

Because our design carries expressive color variation within each arch, we suggest balancing the surrounding interior with simpler shapes and quiet textures. Furniture with rounded silhouettes, such as a curved boucle chair or a smooth painted crib, echoes the arched geometry of the pattern in a thoughtful way.

To let the mural wallpapers remain the visual centerpiece, pair this pattern with light wood tones like bleached ash or pale birch, which harmonize with the sandy yellow in the motif without competing for attention. Soft, unpatterned white bedding or sheer curtains allow the watercolor transitions to stand out naturally.

Color combinations

The primary palette in this design centers around sea green, soft sage, muted sunlit yellow, and warm coral tones set against clean off-white breaks.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, a soft off-white or light chalky cream keeps the overall atmosphere bright and open. If you want to draw out the coastal warmth of the motif, soft peach or warm terracotta accents in throw pillows or ceramic accessories create a lovely dialogue with the pink undertones. Alternatively, a pale sage or sea-glass green on nearby woodwork deepens the refreshing quality of the green arches.
