Wallpaper - Beach Babes Poolside

Created by Janelle Penner, our Beach Babes Poolside wallpaper captures an overhead, retro-inspired view of a calm swimming pool on a clear summer day. Soft sage water fills the frame with gentle, rippling caustics, creating an open backdrop for two swimmers in vintage swimwear: one lounging casually on a golden yellow pool float in a striped red suit and sun hat, and another gliding smoothly across the water in a yellow polka-dot bikini. The graphic, screenprint-style illustration and warm pastel accents give the scene a relaxed, nostalgic charm that works especially well across an accent wall. Like all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We love how the expansive sage water creates visual breathing room while the illustrated figures introduce playful focal points. Because the composition relies on an open expanse of rippling pool water, it works beautifully on wider, relatively uninterrupted walls in a living room, guest room, or bedroom where the full scene can unfold naturally. The relaxed resort aesthetic also makes our wallpaper a natural fit for powder rooms, casual dining areas, or vacation homes, lake houses, and poolhouses. In a hallway or entryway, the gentle rhythm of the water lines adds visual interest without overwhelming smaller spaces.

Styling it

To complement the sunny 1970s nostalgia of the artwork, we would pair this design with warm, light-toned woods such as bleached oak, rattan, or light birch. Keeping surrounding furniture lines relatively clean and low-profile allows the wallpaper to act as the primary decorative feature in the space. Matte white architectural elements and simple ceramic or terracotta accents echo the poolside feel without competing with the illustration. If you are adding textiles, crisp white cottons or unadorned mustard and coral cushions help tie the room together in a cohesive, understated way.

Color combinations

The foundation of the design is built on soothing sage and soft seafoam tones, broken up by crisp off-white water ripples. The swimmers introduce warm contrast through sunny yellow, terracotta red, and warm skin tones. When choosing surrounding paint colors, we recommend soft warm whites or chalky creams for trim and adjacent walls to keep the room bright and airy. For a more enveloping palette, a muted sage or soft pale olive pulled directly from the water can create a seamless flow across adjoining walls and cabinetry.
