Wallpaper - Seaside Scene

Our Seaside Scene wallpaper, designed by Carrie Cantwell, brings a graphic coastal landscape to life with clean silhouettes and a mid-century print character. A rich cobalt blue sea with crisp white cresting waves anchors the center, set beneath a soft light blue sky with elongated clouds and a solitary seabird in flight. In the foreground, golden-yellow beach grasses with deep brown tips rise up to frame the horizon, creating visual depth through defined layers and bold forms. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper mural, this PVC-free design features a subtle physical structure in the paper that complements its stylized graphic aesthetic.

In the room

We see this mural wallpaper working particularly well on an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or nursery where its horizontal composition can expand across the space. Because the design is organized into distinct horizontal bands—from the golden grasses below to the open sky above—it provides a clear focal point without feeling visually chaotic. In a bedroom, placing this design behind the bed allows the sea and sky to remain visible above the headboard while the grasses anchor the lower half. In a guest room or a summer cottage living area, giving it an uninterrupted wall allows the sweeping line of the bird and the rolling waves to establish an airy, coastal rhythm.

Styling it

The bold graphic style and mid-century modern influence make this design easy to pair with both relaxed seaside pieces and clean contemporary furniture.

We would suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively grounded in simple silhouettes so the strong shapes of the ocean and grasses stand out. Warm wood pieces, such as teak, walnut, or honey oak, harmonize naturally with the golden-yellow and brown tones in the foreground grasses. To maintain an open, uncluttered atmosphere, combine the wallpaper with understated woven accents, matte ceramic decor, or clean-lined mid-century seating in off-white or deep blue upholstery.

Color combinations

Our design is centered on deep cobalt blue and sky blue, balanced by the bright white of the waves, golden-yellow grass stems, and warm brown tips.

To build a cohesive palette around this wallpaper, look to warm off-white, sandy beige, or soft cream for adjacent painted walls and woodwork to pick up on the lighter tones of the sky. If you want a more defined contrast, pulling out the deep cobalt blue or rich navy for trim, doors, or accent furniture will reinforce the vibrant depth of the sea. Natural warm tones, like ochre or camel in upholstery and pillows, will also echo the beach grasses nicely.
