In compact rooms like bathrooms, reading nooks, or bedrooms, these designs help create a sense of calm and spaciousness without overwhelming the space.
Should I choose a coastal pattern or mural wallpaper?
It depends on your design goal:

Coastal pattern wallpapers — such as waves, palms, or shell motifs — offer a subtle, versatile backdrop for full-room applications.

Coastal mural wallpapers — like beach scenes, ocean horizons, or panoramic landscapes — make a stunning statement on a single wall and can visually expand a space.
If you’re after a soft, textural layer, choose a pattern. For bold, immersive impact, go with a mural.
