Wallpaper - Long Boards I

Our Long Boards I wallpaper mural captures a quiet, sun-bleached coastal scene photographed by Deborah Revell. Two surfboards stand upright in the pale sand, set against soft breaking waves and a misty, overcast horizon. What we particularly appreciate about this photographic mural is its open composition and gentle tonal range, dominated by warm sandy beiges, muted ocean greys, and pale sea foam, grounded by the rich black and ochre yellow tones of the foremost board. Printed to your specific wall dimensions, our PVC-free wallpapers feature a subtle paper texture that adds depth to broad, atmospheric photographic scenes.

In the room

Because the composition places strong vertical focal points to the right and center with an airy, expansive beach and ocean backdrop, we love this design as an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or dedicated home office. In a living room, giving the mural wallpaper an uninterrupted wall allows the horizon line and open sky to create an expansive sense of depth across the room.

If you place furniture in front of the wall, we recommend keeping lower profiles, such as a low credenza, sofa, or headboard, so the boards and open shoreline remain clearly visible. The soft, diffuse lighting captured in the photograph works wonderfully in spaces with gentle natural daylight, where the delicate transitions between sand, water, and sky feel calm and cohesive.

Styling it

The natural, breezy feel of the photograph pairs naturally with understated contemporary or coastal-inspired interiors that lean into quiet textures and relaxed forms.

We would suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and uncomplicated. Lighter wood tones like blonde birch, bleached oak, or light ash complement the pale sand and weathered surfboard beautifully without competing for attention. Upholstered pieces in unbleached cotton, washed canvas, or soft neutral textures harmonize with the matte coastal atmosphere. To echo the graphic depth in the foremost board, subtle black accents or slim black frames around the room provide a crisp, grounded balance.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper mural is defined by soft sand, misty seafoam blue-grey, pale horizon white, warm ochre, and deep charcoal black.

When selecting paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, consider soft, warm off-whites or pale biscuit tones that continue the warmth of the beach sand. For a slightly moodier or more enveloping look, a muted grey-green or stony slate pulled from the gentle ocean waves creates a seamless transition. Matte black accents on lighting fixtures or hardware offer an intentional, tailored nod to the dark surfboard in the foreground.
