Wallpaper - Inlet

In our Inlet wallpaper, artist Courtney Prahl captures a sweeping coastal view where deep imperial blue waters move outward toward an open horizon, framed by rugged rocky shores and dense green foliage. Painted with visible, impressionistic brushstrokes, the motif brings the expressive character of an oil landscape onto a large architectural scale. Light blue and soft white tones drift through the cloudy sky, creating a cool, balanced atmosphere with rich artistic depth. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a calm, scenic presence to any room.

In the room

Because Inlet is composed as an expansive landscape with a distinct horizon, we especially like giving this mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall where the full breadth of the coastline can unfold. In a living room, placing it behind a low-profile sofa lets the blue water and coastal banks form a natural visual backdrop without interrupting the view across the water. It also works beautifully in a bedroom behind the headboard, where the cool blues and soft sky create an open, quiet mood across the main wall.

In a home office or lakeside retreat, this scenic composition adds a feeling of visual depth to compact spaces. The directional flow of the water toward the horizon draws the eye outward, making a smaller study or reading room feel noticeably more expansive. For an accent wall in a spacious bathroom, the coastal palette introduces a crisp, refreshing note that balances clean white fixtures and tiled surfaces.

Styling it

The expressive, painterly texture of this design pairs naturally with classic and coastal-inspired interiors, especially New England and traditional aesthetics. To keep the focus on the scenic artwork, we recommend pairing the wall with furniture in clean silhouettes and honest, grounding materials.

Warm woods like natural oak or weathered pine provide a pleasing earthy contrast to the deep imperial blues and cooler sky tones. For upholstery and window treatments, unbleached linens, soft creams, and light woven wools keep the surrounding space bright while letting the bold brushstrokes take center stage. Matte black iron or aged brass lighting fixtures add just enough definition without competing with the landscape's natural movement.

Color combinations

The visual foundation of our Inlet design rests on imperial blue, slate, light sky blue, soft cloud white, and forest greens along the shoreline.

When choosing adjacent wall colors and architectural trim, crisp off-white or soft alabaster keeps the room feeling airy and highlights the cooler tones of the sky. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep navy or dark slate blue from the water onto neighboring built-ins, wainscoting, or doors anchors the space with deliberate depth. Muted sage green or warm oat on larger upholstered pieces and rugs creates an easy, harmonious bridge between the coastal scenery and your everyday decor.
