Wallpaper - Summer State of Mind I

Our Summer State of Mind I wallpaper, designed by Gia Graham, captures a cheerful coastal scene with a distinct retro graphic character. The composition features gentle ocean waves meeting a sandy beach, complete with a bright red and yellow sun umbrella, a striped beach bag, and a red beach ball in the foreground. In the distance, rolling hills sit beneath an airy sky where birds glide, framed by the large lettering "Happiness Comes in Waves" rendered in a warm coral tone. A pastel palette of soft blues, sand, and warm coral gives the illustration a sun-drenched feel. Printed custom to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpapers bring a laid-back, graphic aesthetic to any wall.

In the room

We love this mural wallpaper for spaces where you want a relaxed, sunny atmosphere. It feels right at home on an accent wall in a playroom, a toddler's room, or a teenage bedroom, where the bold lettering and playful motifs can become the main visual focus. The horizontal movement of the shoreline and gentle waves works especially well across an open, uninterrupted wall, such as behind a bed, a daybed, or low toy shelving, allowing the entire beach landscape and quote to remain visible.

For a summer house, lake house, or poolhouse, this design sets a casual, lighthearted tone in common living areas or guest spaces. In a bathroom, the coastal theme offers a charming visual backdrop, pairing naturally with clean white fixtures.

Styling it

Because the illustration has a distinct graphic quality inspired by groovy 1960s poster art, we like surrounding it with simple furniture shapes that do not fight the artwork. Mid-century modern side tables, clean wooden platform beds, or casual painted white storage pieces work nicely alongside the illustrated landscape.

To maintain balance in the room, keep adjacent decorative accents relatively simple and let the wallpaper carry the pattern. Natural wood tones, from pale birch to warmer teak, complement the sandy shades in the print, while woven baskets or simple canvas textiles enhance the relaxed coastal theme without cluttering the visual field.

Color combinations

The wallpaper centers around a warm, sunny palette of coral, sandy beige, soft blues, and subtle touches of red and yellow. The coral lettering and warm sky provide an uplifting warmth, while the pale blue water and sand create a soft foundation.

When choosing paint colors for surrounding walls, trim, or cabinetry, we recommend pulling directly from these lighter shades:

A warm, creamy off-white or soft linen shade on adjacent walls keeps the room feeling bright and open while harmonizing with the sand tones in the print.
A muted, dusty pastel blue complements the water elements and brings a light, airy quality to a bedroom or bathroom.
For accents, small doses of warm terracotta or coral in cushions, lamps, or small decor pieces echo the prominent lettering and umbrella without overwhelming the space.
