Wallpaper - Waves Moving

Our Waves Moving wallpaper mural captures an abstract, atmospheric seascape defined by soft horizontal motion and a serene horizon. Designed by Nathan Larson, the composition blends misty grays and smoke tones with a gentle band of warm neutral sand along the middle ground, dissolving into a pale, airy sky above. The long horizontal lines create an expansive sense of drift and open space rather than sharp coastal detail. Printed as a made-to-measure design on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it brings a quiet artistic presence to modern interiors.

In the room

Because of its strong horizontal sweep, we see this wall mural working particularly well on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room or meditation room. Placing it along a main feature wall behind a low-profile sofa lets the entire gradient unfold across the room without feeling crowded. The subtle shift from cool slate grays at the bottom to warmer ochre-tinted tones in the center helps ground lower furniture while keeping the upper portion of the room bright and visually open. In spaces with ample natural daylight, the delicate transitions between the smoked grays and neutral horizon line reveal their full depth throughout the day.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this design with minimalist or contemporary furniture that echoes its clean, uncluttered character. Low-slung seating in off-white, oat, or charcoal upholstery keeps the visual weight low and allows the horizon in the mural wallpaper to remain the focal point.

To complement the warm neutral tones across the middle band, consider incorporating natural light oak or bleached ash in coffee tables or shelving. Light textured textiles, such as a plain woven wool rug or simple unpatterned linen drapery, balance the smooth, blurred motion of the print without competing for attention.

Color combinations

The wallpaper is built around cool smoke grays, soft charcoal, pale off-white, and a distinctive warm neutral ochre across the horizon. When selecting paint for adjacent walls and trim, softer whites with neutral undertones or muted stone grays create a seamless flow around the room. If you want to draw out the subtle warmth from the center of the mural, introducing accents in sandy beige, camel, or pale taupe through cushions and throws creates a balanced dialogue between warm and cool elements.
