Wallpaper - Glide

Our Glide wallpaper captures a calm maritime moment created by artist Jeanette Vertentes, where a sailboat moves across still waters under a soft pastel sky. A white boat with two figures takes center stage, its pale yellow sail accented by fine blue and red lines that catch the eye without overwhelming the composition. Shimmering water reflections ground the foreground, while distant sailboats, a green buoy, and a dark shoreline add visual depth across the horizon. Like all our wall murals, Glide is made-to-measure to your dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because of its painterly perspective and open horizon, we like this design best on wider, relatively uninterrupted walls where the full nautical scene has space to unfold. In a living room behind a sofa or across a primary bedroom wall behind the bed, the expansive water and sky create an open, tranquil feeling in the space. It also works beautifully in a dining room, home office, library, or hallway staircase, especially in a coastal cottage, lake house, or traditional New England interior where maritime themes feel right at home. Giving the central sailboat a clear line of sight helps preserve the balance of the composition.

Styling it

To complement the classic maritime aesthetic of this mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded.

• Pair the artwork with warm wood finishes like natural oak, antique pine, or painted white cabinetry that echo traditional coastal decor.
• Choose understated upholstery in natural textures, such as washed cream linen or soft navy cotton, to let the painted seascape remain the focal point of the room.
• Add small accents in brushed brass or dark iron hardware to subtly mirror the darker tones of the distant shoreline and figures.

Color combinations

The color palette in our wallpaper centers on slate blues, pale buttery yellow, soft sky tones, and touches of muted green. When planning surrounding walls, woodwork, and trim, we recommend pulling out the gentle cream and warm off-white tones found in the sail to keep the room light and cohesive. For a slightly more grounded look, a deep slate blue or classic navy on adjacent doors and trim creates a handsome frame around the mural. Muted sage greens and soft sandy neutrals also blend naturally with the coastal tones in the water.
