A wide sandy shore glows in silvery backlight as white surf rolls out. The open calm soothes – ideal for bedroom, bath and hallway.

The eye follows the wet sand, which mirrors the light across the whole foreground. From the right, foam spreads in fine curving lines, while a long breaking wave builds behind it. Haze veils the distant coastline, and sky and ocean melt into cool grey, silver and the softest blue. A quiet photograph with nothing to distract from the sea.

Above the bed, in the bathroom or at the end of a long corridor, this coastal scene comes into its own. Pale woods, linen textures and Nordic simplicity suit its cool palette, and narrow rooms gain a sense of air and depth.

An expanse of ocean that opens the view and quiets the day.
