Wallpaper - Sails Away

Our Sails Away wallpaper by Chris Paschke captures the dynamic rhythm of sailboats gliding across open water with a painterly, watercolor-inspired finish. Crisp white sails angle into the breeze against a layered backdrop of soft sky blue and deep ocean blues, creating an open, scenic horizon across the wall. The sweeping brushstrokes and translucent washes give the composition a sense of motion while keeping the overall palette calm and airy. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to fit your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully across a main wall in a living room, dining room, or bedroom where the horizontal expanse of the seascape can be fully appreciated. Because the visual weight sits primarily along the lower sea section, the upper portion of the wall feels light and spacious, making it a great choice for rooms where you want visual interest without overwhelming the space. In a lake house or coastal vacation home, placing our mural wallpapers along a wide, uninterrupted wall allows the sailboats to create a natural focal point behind a sofa or dining table.

Styling it

To complement the painterly character of this design, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and textured natural accents:

• Keep larger furniture pieces in light, neutral tones like washed linen or muted grey so the deep blues of the water remain the primary focus.
• Incorporate warm, pale wood elements such as ash or light oak to balance the cooler blue palette across the room.
• Use simple matte ceramic or textured stone accessories to echo the organic, expressive brushwork of the artwork.

Color combinations

The artwork centers around a palette of deep navy, slate, sky blue, and crisp white. For surrounding painted walls and trim, soft off-white or very pale chalky grey creates a seamless transition that highlights the sky. If you prefer more depth, pulling the darker oceanic blue into adjacent cabinetry or painted accent furniture grounds the room while tying directly back to our wallpaper.
