Wallpaper - Simple Sea

Created by artist Kristy Rice, this coastal wallpaper captures the quiet energy of the sea through loose, expressive watercolor brushwork. Fluid washes of ocean blue, teal, and soft sandy undertones rise against a generous white paper-like background, evoking the movement of breaking waves and open shorelines. What we particularly like about this mural wallpaper is its balanced use of open space, allowing the artistic seascape to anchor the room without overwhelming the surrounding interior. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it a distinctive choice for bedrooms, calm living spaces, or modern coastal homes.

In the room

Because the motif is concentrated across the lower and middle composition with airy white space above, we see this wall mural working exceptionally well on a main feature wall where its fluid horizon can stretch out uninterrupted. It is a wonderful fit behind a low headboard in a bedroom or placed behind a sofa in an airy living room, where the artwork remains clearly visible. The light background keeps smaller spaces, such as an entryway, powder room, or dedicated meditation room, feeling open and unconfined. In a dining room or home office, the painterly sea motif brings a quiet artistic focus to the wall while maintaining a clean, uncluttered atmosphere throughout the space.

Styling it

We recommend styling this design in interiors that embrace coastal, contemporary, or minimalist aesthetics. To complement the fluid, painterly feel of the wallpaper, consider pairing it with natural textures and simple silhouettes that let the artwork take center stage.

• Choose low-profile furniture in light wood or painted finishes to keep the horizon line open and preserve the airy composition of the wall.
• Introduce soft woven accents, such as unbleached cotton or linen upholstery, to echo the organic look of the watercolor washes.
• Keep surrounding decorative elements understated, selecting smooth matte ceramics or simple glass accents that mirror the coastal palette without creating visual clutter.

Color combinations

The wallpaper features a refreshing palette of clear sky blue, deeper oceanic teal, soft seafoam, and subtle sandy yellow, all resting against an off-white base. When planning the surrounding room, soft white or pale sand paint on adjacent walls allows the seascape to blend seamlessly into the space. For a richer, more grounded look, drawing out the deeper sea greens or navy blues in accent pillows, curtains, or a painted credenza creates a refined and cohesive visual flow across the room.
