Wallpaper - Lobster Fishing

Our Lobster Fishing wallpaper brings a quiet coastal moment into the home, captured through the photography of Jim Wiebe. The composition looks out over weathered wooden fishing shacks along a quiet pier, where calm water mirrors the soft lilac, pink, and purple tones of the twilight sky. A bold red shack with a crisp white door stands out between pale neighboring buildings, anchoring the horizontal line of the dock. Stacked lobster traps, colorful buoys, and rugged wooden pilings give the scene an authentic, nostalgic character. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design brings a rich sense of place to any interior.

In the room

This coastal scene works exceptionally well across a wide, uninterrupted wall where the full horizon and pier can unfold naturally. In a vacation home or lake house living room, placing this design behind a low sofa preserves the broad water view and the open sky above. The gentle lilac and purple hues create a peaceful visual backdrop that suits rooms dedicated to quiet conversation or reading.

Because the photography features detailed foreground elements like the stacked traps and dock posts, we suggest keeping lower furniture relatively simple so the lower half of the motif remains visible. On a long dining wall or in a relaxed family room, the perspective adds a sense of depth that opens up the room without overwhelming it with high visual contrast.

Styling it

To complement the weathered harbor setting, pair this mural with furnishings that have a grounded, relaxed presence. Simple painted white pieces or warm, mid-toned wood furniture echo the architectural character of classic New England coastal buildings.

Keep surrounding upholstery and textiles in muted, solid finishes to let the intricate textures of the pier and boats stand out. Matte navy accents, weathered pottery, or unpolished hardware balance the rustic dockside details nicely while keeping the room uncluttered.

Color combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centers on soft lilac, muted purple, and dusky pink in the sky, contrasted with deep earthy browns, weathered dock greys, and the vibrant red of the central fishing shack.

For adjacent walls and millwork, warm off-whites, pale sea-mist greys, or gentle sandy neutrals keep the room cohesive and allow the colors of the sunset to lead. If you want to introduce deeper accent shades in cabinetry or soft furnishings, muted navy blue or deep charcoal pick up the dark pilings and shadows in the water.
