If you want to instantly boost your mood, turn your attention to nautical home décor! A classic trend that is making waves in 2025, ocean and beach interiors are set to be favourites as more people prioritise mental health and the need for wellbeing-led design.
Nautical décor is both effortless and soothing, with blue being one of the most popular interior colours for the home. The colour blue is often linked to serenity and calmness, making it an ideal choice for every room in the house.
Here are some oceanic/coastal wall murals to inspire your next design project…
Relax at a tropical beach
In need of some escapism? If you’re forever dreaming of beautiful sandy beaches lined with palms and the comforting sound of ocean waves, beach wallpaper is the perfect way to embrace the nautical theme this year.
Our collection features tropical scenes that are made-to-measure to fit any size wall. But if you have a particular beach in mind, and you have a high res photo that you’d like to turn into a mural, you could even create a custom wallpaper with our image upload service.
All you need to do is upload your image, add your wall dimensions, crop your image to your liking, then order the mural in your chosen material. Vacation photos can make amazing murals and give your home décor a meaningful and personal touch.
Minimalist-style beach wallpaper
A minimalist approach to nautical home décor allows you to explore the trend elegantly. The subtle colours create a serene and relaxing space, perfect for winding down at the end of the day.
If you love minimalist art, oriental murals like Japanese murals are a great place to start. Nature, water and waves are common themes in traditional Japanese art, and you’ll find a range of designer wallpaper products to elevate your home.
There’s also a lot of history to this trend, with the French coining the craze of Japanese design as “Japonisme” in the late 19th Century. So if you’re inspired by the new-meets-old narrative of transitional interiors, oriental murals with a nautical twist could be the classical to your contemporary.
Beach and boardwalk mural
Windswept Beach Boardwalk wall mural
The image of a windswept boardwalk is the ultimate definition of serene, perfect for bedrooms or communal spaces such as a living or dining area. Our range of piers and boardwalk wallpaper can be a great way to embrace nature, and they can also provide a sort of optical illusion which opens up your room, creating the impression of a much larger space.
When nailing wellbeing interiors, murals like this one are incredibly on-trend. Scenic murals reconnect us with the outdoors and can help you travel to another world in seconds.
Scenery with water can be especially effective in improving our mental health and wellbeing. Affecting everything from the neurotransmitters in our brain to our hormones, water can impact us both physiologically and emotionally. A nautical or ocean-themed mural could make a good focal point if you want to design a calming and tranquil space in your home.
Sea and sand wallpaper
Sea and Sand Tranquility wall mural
Simple and stylish, this Sea and Sand Tranquility mural is perfect for anyone who wants to work with a predictable colour palette. The combination of gentle blues and warm neutrals adapts well to any minimalist design narrative, making choosing décor and furnishings easy.
This type of nautical wallpaper also looks great with organic materials, such as wooden furniture, woven baskets like wicker or rattan, as well as dried foliage and flowers. Finish off with pale-coloured fabrics to create a light and airy feel, and use layering to create depth and dimension.

This wall mural is an artistic take on nautical home décor, creating a magical atmosphere for every room in the house. Whether you’re looking for something fun and playful for a child’s bedroom or something abstract and thought-provoking for the living room, SpaceFrog Designs offers a range of ocean and sea-themed murals that fit the trend.
Rich colours and captivating depictions of nature are a familiar storyline in the SpaceFrog collection, and you’ll find lots of majestic sea creatures ranging from whales and jellyfish to fish and octopuses.
Beach hut wallpaper
Brightly Coloured Beach Huts wall mural
For a more colourful approach to nautical, why not check out our beach hut wallpaper murals? There are beach hut styles from around the world, so whether you’re after something tropical or something resembling a classic British seaside, you’ll have plenty of choices.
You’ll find pastel-coloured beach huts, brightly painted beach huts, striped beach huts, and thatched hut beach huts from the Maldives. Whatever you choose, coordinate your colour palette to match.
Nautical mural with a sunset
Another way to embrace the nautical trend is with sunset wallpaper. Ocean sunsets aren’t just stunning to look at – they can help us feel happier, giving an instant boost to our mood. There’s something called ‘sunset therapy’, which explains how sunsets put us in a more relaxed state.
The vibrant colours of a sunset trigger the release of dopamine, and this is what makes us feel calm, happy and motivated. Sunsets even act as a natural time cue to signal the end of the day, so if you’re looking for a way to relax, an ocean sunset mural could be the perfect feature wall to install in your home.
We think ocean sunset murals work well in every room, but especially in places where you want to take some time for yourself. This could be communal spaces such as living or dining areas, bedrooms or even a home office, as well as being the perfect addition to a spa bathroom.
