Wallpaper - Pacific Surf I Sepia

Our Pacific Surf I Sepia wallpaper captures a dynamic moment on the water, featuring a surfer carving through a breaking wave amidst a burst of sea spray. Photographed by Nathan Larson, the composition carries a vintage photographic grain and a warm sepia monochrome palette that gives the scene an archival, timeless quality. The visual contrast between the dark swell and the soft, diffused sky creates a strong horizontal rhythm across the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design is straightforward to hang and brings coastal energy to an interior without overwhelming the room in color.

In the room

Because of its expansive horizon line and cinematic focal point, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall in a living room, study, or bedroom. The horizontal band of the wave naturally anchors the lower half of the space, making it a great backdrop behind a low-profile sofa, a credenza, or a bed frame. In a home office or hallway, the atmospheric grain and open sky above create a sense of depth, giving narrower rooms a more open, uncluttered perspective.

Styling it

The warm, desaturated monochrome tones in this wallpaper make it remarkably versatile alongside natural interior finishes. We would lean into organic textures to echo the vintage, weathered character of the photograph.

• Pair the warm sepia tones with natural wood furniture, such as warm oak or teak, to bring out the golden undertones in the print.
• Use matte black or dark bronze accents in lighting and hardware to echo the deep shadows of the wave and surfboard.
• Keep surrounding textiles simple and textured, choosing unbleached cotton, heavy canvas, or natural wool throws in soft neutral shades.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design is built around tonal sepia shades, ranging from deep charcoal-browns and warm umber in the wave to pale cream, bone, and soft biscuit tones in the sky and sea foam. When decorating around it, we recommend continuing these warm neutral tones onto adjacent walls with creamy off-whites, warm greys, or muted sandstone paint colors. If you want to introduce subtle contrast through upholstery or accessories, deep olive greens, burnt caramel, or soft indigo denim tones complement the archival oceanic theme beautifully.
