Wallpaper - Coastal Storm I

Our Coastal Storm I wallpaper brings together soft watercolor washes, expressive ink splatters, and delicate graphite pencil lines to evoke an abstract coastal horizon. Designed by Jocelyn Elizabeth, this wall mural layers atmospheric lilac and deep indigo cloud formations above horizontal bands of cerulean blue, anchored at the bottom by earthy olive greens, mossy tones, and warm sand. Fine scribbled marks and flying bird silhouettes add a spontaneous, hand-drawn character that balances fluid transparent washes with sharp detail. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it creates a modern, art-led focal point with a balanced and calm mood.

In the room

In a living room or primary bedroom, we like placing this design on a main feature wall behind a sofa or bed headboard, where the horizontal composition can stretch out and open up the sense of space. The vertical balance between the darker indigo clouds at the top and the grounded olive washes at the base works particularly well in rooms with standard or higher ceilings. For a study, home office, or guest room, the open white areas within the motif keep the wall feeling light rather than heavy, making it easy to live with day-to-day. In a dining room or entry hallway, we would keep surrounding wall clutter minimal to give the fluid watercolor layers and delicate pencil marks room to be appreciated up close.

Styling it

We recommend pairing this wallpaper with furniture that features simple silhouettes and organic shapes, allowing the artistic energy of the mural wallpapers to lead the room. Contemporary Scandinavian or organic modern interiors suit this piece naturally. Lighter wood furniture in pale ash or natural oak echoes the earthy undertones along the bottom of the design, while simple black metal accents or slender floor lamps pick up on the fine graphite and ink linework. Soft, textured upholstery in muted linen or unbleached wool complements the watercolor washes without introducing competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The motif features a rich palette of deep indigo, soft lilac, sky blue, olive green, ochre, and warm stone gray set against a crisp white ground. When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, we suggest pulling from the softer tones in the pattern. A soft off-white or pale chalk creates a clean, cohesive transition that keeps the room bright. For a cozier feel, a muted olive or warm greige pulled from the lower landscape elements grounds the space beautifully. If you prefer a bolder, moodier contrast, a deep navy or slate blue on nearby woodwork ties directly into the storm-inspired clouds.
