Wallpaper - Shady V

Created by Elizabeth Urquhart, our Shady V wallpaper captures a bright, nostalgic beach moment centered on an open rainbow parasol set against a soft, overcast seascape. The photographic composition balances the cheerful pop of pastel and primary spectrum stripes with wide, open negative space in the hazy sky and quiet ocean horizon, overlaid with subtle translucent geometric tonal blocks. What we particularly appreciate about this mural is how the bold focal point sits low and grounded, leaving the upper wall visually calm and airy. Our custom wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, featuring a subtle physical structure in the paper that brings quiet depth to any interior.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or a relaxed summer house sitting area. Because the main subject occupies the lower half of the composition, it pairs naturally with low-profile furniture such as a sofa, daybed, or low headboard without obstructing the focal rainbow canopy. The expansive sky and sea above open up the wall visually, making it well suited to compact rooms or spaces where you want color without overwhelming the entire wall height. In a vacation home or sunroom, the balance of calm horizon and playful vintage beach imagery creates an inviting, breezy backdrop.

Styling it

To complement the laid-back coastal feel and distinct 1990s Palm Beach mood, we would pair this wallpaper with relaxed, contemporary furnishings in light finishes.

• Choose low-slung seating in pale canvas, bleached cotton, or neutral linen to let the colorful canopy take center stage.
• Introduce light natural wood tones or pale rattan accents that echo the wooden umbrella pole and enhance the coastal aesthetic.
• Balance the playful umbrella tones with minimalist accessories, keeping wall decor and clutter minimal to preserve the composition's open sky.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a rainbow spectrum of peach, coral, candy pink, soft purple, seafoam green, and sunny yellow, framed by cool coastal greys, muted blues, and soft lavender grid overlays. When choosing surrounding paint colors, we suggest pulling directly from the quieter background tones with warm off-whites, pale sea-mist greys, or muted lavender on adjacent walls. For a punchier palette, small decorative accents in coral or sunny yellow can echo the umbrella stripes without competing with the overall balance of the room.
