Wallpaper - Seaside Directions

Our Seaside Directions wallpaper by Anne Tavoletti brings a cheerful mid-century rhythm to the wall through interlocking curved geometry and four-pointed star motifs. Soft pastel aquamarine arcs frame alternating stars in deep ocean blue, warm taupe, and muted coral pink, all outlined with a textured, block-print-inspired line. The repeat feels structured yet relaxed, giving the surface a playful retro character without overwhelming the room. Like all of our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface texture.

In the room

We see this geometric design working exceptionally well in an entryway or powder room where its graphic compass-star geometry immediately establishes a bright, welcoming presence. In a kitchen, the tile-like layout provides a fresh backdrop around a breakfast nook or along a dining wall, bringing pattern into areas where cabinetry and plain surfaces often dominate.

Because the interlocking circles and starbursts create an energetic repeating grid, the design feels balanced on both compact accent walls and wider, continuous surfaces. On a smaller entryway wall, the pattern adds visual interest without needing heavy wall decor. Across a larger kitchen dining area, the soft aquamarine background keeps the overall wall surface calm while the deeper blue and warm pink accents offer focal points that catch the eye.

Styling it

The 1950s retro sensibility of Seaside Directions pairs naturally with mid-century modern furniture shapes, clean lines, and light-toned architectural elements. We would keep surrounding furniture silhouettes relatively light and open to echo the airy, curved geometry of the wallpaper.

• Choose natural blonde woods like birch, ash, or light oak for dining tables, benches, or shelving to ground the pastel palette with organic warmth.
• Introduce matte black or dark bronze hardware and lighting fixtures to draw out the deeper blue tones and give the rounded motif crisp definition.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple in solid, textured neutrals like unbleached cotton or oatmeal twill, letting the star geometry remain the primary pattern in the space.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around a cool base of pastel aquamarine and sky blue, balanced by contrasting starbursts in deep teal blue, sandy taupe, and soft coral.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or millwork, a warm off-white or soft linen shade keeps the room light while allowing the blue background to stand out softly. To create a deeper, more tailored look, pulling the rich ocean teal onto adjacent cabinetry, doors, or lower wall paneling anchors the lighter tones beautifully. Muted terracotta or blush pink accents in pottery or smaller decor pieces also connect effortlessly with the warm star motifs in the print.
