Above: Swallows by Sanderson x Wallpaperdirect
This beachy bedroom is a calm retreat themed around open skies and the freedom of endless summer days. We love our Swallows wallpaper, which we recoloured from an archive design in an exclusive collaboration with our friends at Sanderson. A familiar sight in British summer skies, these elegant birds evoke the calm of long, sunlit evenings and the gentle rhythm of nature’s return, a serene atmosphere perfectly reflected in this room’s light, airy design and soothing palette.

Channelling the carefree glamour of 1960s Italy, this exuberant wallpaper from Mind the Gap’s La Dolce Vita collection invites you to linger in the sun-drenched pleasures of the Amalfi Coast. It’s a bold, celebration of endless holidays and ‘la dolce far niente’, the sweet art of doing nothing.
Here, candy-striped beach chairs beckon from sandy terraces, ripe lemons burst with zesty colour, and the iconic Vespa promises romantic coastal adventures. Abstract flourishes add a playful sense of movement that feels alive with sea breezes and summer fun. Together, these elements create a heady blend of nostalgia and energy, perfect for reimagining summer days all year long.
Above: Bumble by Isabelle Boxall
Exclusively available at Wallpaperdirect, Bumble is a design that celebrates the sweetness of summer all year round. It is an enchanting design that brims with life and abundance, where delicate trailing stalks, heavy with ripening strawberries, weave across the walls in a luscious tangle of fruit and foliage. Among them the busy bumblebees, after which the design is named, dart and hover, bringing the design to life in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Above: Midsummer Eve by Borästapeter
This romantic attic bedroom holds all the magic of a Scandinavian summer, where nature and tradition intertwine. Midsummer Eve is an intricate design inspired by Sweden’s customary midsommar festival, a time when the countryside bursts into bloom and there is an air of endless possibility. Trailing delicately across the walls, seven kinds of flowers, from sweet bluebells and acacia to meadow and more exotic jungle blossoms, recall an age-old tradition of gathering wildflowers to tuck under pillows on midsummer night… said to bring dreams of true love. ❤️
Above: Seaside Mural by Grandeco
We are obsessed with the summer feel this mural brings where we can imagine losing ourselves in the bliss of long, languid beach days! With the heightened, naturalistic colouring of a striking digital photomural, every detail feels alive, from the white foamy water’s surface to the seemingly endless expanse of sand it radiates the carefree spirit of summer spent swimming, basking and doing absolutely nothing at all.
Printed on 53cm wide rolls, the mural offers a versatile and immersive experience: it can be hung with the sand at the top or bottom, depending on how you want to frame the view. For larger spaces, purchase additional panels to extend the horizon endlessly from left to right, creating a seamless sweep of sea and sky.
Above: Ennerdale by Clarke & Clarke x Wallpaperdirect
This is such a pretty wallpaper! Inspired by meadows in Ennerdale Valley, in the picturesque north of England. Alive with colour and botanical richness, this gorgeous small-scale floral print celebrates summer’s vibrant abundance. It is a perfect choice for adding a splash of summer charm in the spaces between kitchen cupboards or for wrapping an entire room that brims with life all year round.
Below: Oxford by Timothy Wilman Home
This is coastal design for the modern home: clean, understated and seriously smart. The scheme takes its cues from classic nautical style, reimagined with a contemporary edge. Breezy sheer curtains allow natural light to flood the room, softening the strong vertical lines of the wallpaper and enhancing the sense of openness and calm. The palette is deliberately restrained, echoing the freshness of the seaside and ensuring a timeless look that works year-round.
