Coastal Wallpaper You’ll Love: My Favorite Picks & Styling Tips

Sharing is caring!

There’s something about coastal wallpaper that instantly makes a space feel thoughtful—it adds depth, texture, and personality without cluttering up a room. And lately, I’ve been crushing on four gorgeous coastal-inspired wallpapers from Livette’s Wallpaper. Each one has its own unique vibe, but they all share that perfect balance of style, softness, and coastal charm (without screaming BEACH HOUSE).

So, let’s talk about why I love each of these coastal wallpaper designs, where they work best, and how to style them for a fresh, effortless look in your home!

1. Large Palm Leaf Coastal Wallpaper

My Color Picks: Mist, Rain, and Sage

This is the coastal wallpaper I personally used in my laundry room and pantry (in Mist), and let me tell you—it’s good. Check it out here.

The large-scale palm leaf design adds visual interest without feeling busy or overpowering. It’s calming, coastal, and fresh—but it doesn’t hit you over the head with a tropical or kitschy beach house vibe.

💙 Why I Love This Coastal Wallpaper

• The larger-scale pattern gives an even covering, so it never looks too chaotic.
• There’s a whole lineup of colors, but Mist, Rain, and Sage are my top three—they’re soft, subtle, and totally versatile for a coastal look.✔ It brings a natural, breezy feel into a space without stealing the show.

🌿 Where to Use This Coastal Wallpaper

• Laundry Room Backsplash Alternative – I used it in my laundry room and pantry, and it’s a great way to add texture without committing to tile.
• A Subtle Feature Wall – Works beautifully in bedrooms, bathrooms, or entryways for a little extra charm.
• Behind Open Shelving – Adds the perfect pop of depth behind floating shelves in a kitchen or mudroom.

🤍 Pair It With

• Natural wood tones – A bleached oak console table or a rattan pendant light.
• Brass or matte black finishes – A soft contrast to the organic pattern.
• Textured neutrals – Think linen drapes, jute rugs, or a chunky knit throw.

Here’s how it looks in my own laundry room—fresh, calm, and layered with just enough pattern to make it feel finished but not fussy. See more of this laundry room makeover.

2. Blue Retro Chic Coastal Wallpaper

My Color Picks: Rain and Stone

This one’s bold, fun, and definitely a statement-maker. The retro-inspired geometric pattern brings energy, while the color options keep things feeling modern and coastal.

The Rain and Stone combo? Absolutely stunning. The contrast between these two tones makes this an attention-grabber, which means it’s best used in places where you want a focal point.

💙 Why I Love This Coastal Wallpaper

• It has bold personality without being too overpowering.
• The color combo is coastal with a twist—it’s not just your standard navy or sky blue.
• It works beautifully in glam, boho, or modern spaces depending on how you style it.

🌿 Where to Use This Coastal Wallpaper

• A Powder Room That Needs Personality – This is the ultimate small-space wallpaper!
• Framed as Artwork – Cut large panels and frame them in white or bleached wood frames for a gallery wall that feels curated and custom.
• The Back of a Bookshelf or Bar Cart Nook – A small dose of pattern can go a long way in styling up an otherwise simple area.

🤍 Pair It With

• Glam or Boho-Inspired Lighting – Think rattan pendant lights or brass sconces.
• Crisp white trim & furniture – Keeps the pattern feeling light and fresh.
• Woven textures – A natural jute runner, cane-front cabinets, or a soft boucle chair.

Chevron is always a classic—but this gold version brings a modern coastal twist with a touch of glam. It’s bold but not overwhelming, making it perfect for a modern coastal look with a touch of elegance.

For My Fellow Blue Lovers: The Windy & White Option

Same chic pattern, but with soft blue lines that lean a little more classic-coastal. It’s polished, relaxed, and super versatile.

• A hallway or stairwell wall to create a subtle, eye-catching moment.

Final Thoughts: Which Coastal Wallpaper is Right for You?

With so many gorgeous coastal wallpaper options, it all comes down to the vibe you want. Soft and breezy? Bold and fun? A touch of glam or a classic twist?

Whatever your style, there’s a wallpaper here that’ll help you bring it to life—effortlessly.

If you’re after that breezy, natural feel…

Go for the Large Palm Leaf design. It’s calm without being boring, and it works beautifully in spots like laundry rooms, entryways, and behind open shelving. Check out how I used it in my laundry room and pantry makeover!

Also try it: inside a linen closet door (so chic when you open it!), on the sides of a kitchen island for a subtle pop of pattern, or lining the back of glass-front pantry cabinets to highlight your prettiest storage pieces.

If bold and playful is more your thing…

The Blue Retro Chic wallpaper is a total showstopper. Try it in a powder room, framed as oversized art, behind a bar cart, or lining the back of shelf. But don’t stop there.

Also try it: inside dresser drawer liners (a fun surprise!) or in a funky little mudroom cubby.

If classic but fresh is your thing…

The Minimal Lines wallpaper gives you just enough interest without taking over. Perfect for a serene bedroom, a hallway that needs a little character, or even a spa-like bathroom.

Also try it: on stair risers, in a small home office nook, or along the back wall of a built-in bench.

If you’re going for that polished-meets-coastal vibe

Faux Gold Chevron is your girl. I love it as a backsplash or on the ceiling for a pop of pattern. Pair it with Niebla Azul cabinets (trust me on this one) and gold accents for a backsplash that looks straight out of a design magazine. See why I love Niebla Azul so much here!

Also try it: on the inside of glass-front cabinets, as a backdrop for styled shelves, or even wrapping around a pillar or column to give it personality.

And let’s not forget the Windy & White version—dreamy for a nursery, hallway, or cozy reading nook. It’s classic, coastal, and a little unexpected in the best way.
