Wallpaper - Regatta Retreat

Our Regatta Retreat wallpaper, created in collaboration with artist Jeanette Vertentes, captures a lively fleet of sailboats gliding across open water in an expressive, painterly style. What we particularly like about this design is the vibrant interplay of cobalt blue, turquoise, soft peach, and warm golden brushstrokes, giving the water and sky a mosaic-like visual texture inspired by contemporary oil painting. The tall white sails provide a crisp vertical rhythm against the richly layered horizon. Produced to your exact measurements, this PVC-free wallpaper offers an artistic, colorful statement with a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

Because the composition features soaring sails and a wide expanse of water, we see this working exceptionally well on a main feature wall where the full horizontal movement of the boats can unfold. In a bright living room or dining space, placing this mural wallpaper behind a low sofa or a dining table keeps the sailboats in clear view while anchoring the room with rich color. It also feels right at home in a vacation home, lake house retreat, or an airy bedroom where the balance of deep blues and sunset reflections creates an open, peaceful atmosphere. For rooms with standard or lower ceilings, the upright angles of the masts draw the eye upward, giving the space an uplifting sense of height.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork and rich colors take center stage, we would pair this design with clean-lined furniture and thoughtful material accents.

• Keep large furniture pieces in neutral tones, such as off-white, light gray, or navy upholstery, allowing the detailed pattern on the wall to remain the primary visual focus.
• Incorporate light or warm natural wood, such as bleached oak or warm teak, to echo the coastal subject matter and ground the cooler cobalt tones.
• Choose decorative accents in brushed brass or matte black to subtly mirror the golden highlights and darker painted outlines within the artwork.

Color combinations

The palette within the design centers on rich cobalt blue, cerulean, and teal, contrasted by warm accents of coral, soft peach, pale yellow, and crisp off-white in the sails. When choosing paint for adjoining walls and trim, a clean warm white or a pale sky blue creates a cohesive, light-filled backdrop. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping space, drawing out the deeper navy or rich slate tones from the water onto surrounding millwork provides an elegant frame for the artwork.
