Wallpaper - Stripy Gingham, Marine

Our Stripy Gingham, Marine wallpaper, created in collaboration with RNM Arts, brings a relaxed, textile-inspired rhythm to the wall. The design interprets classic gingham through layers of fine, hand-drawn-looking hatched lines, where deep indigo and marine blue cross over against a soft sky-blue backdrop. Because the lines have a gentle, organic wave rather than rigid geometry, the grid feels light, airy, and full of subtle visual depth. Printed to order as made-to-measure wallpaper on PVC-free paper with a delicate surface structure, it offers a fresh take on check patterns that works beautifully across entire rooms or single accent walls.

In the room

The open scale and airy line work make this pattern adaptable across various living spaces. In a bedroom or guest room, we see this working wonderfully wrapped around all four walls, where the layered blues create a restful, cohesive atmosphere without overwhelming the space. The visual softness of the hatched grid prevents the check from feeling stiff, allowing it to sit comfortably behind a bed or alongside everyday bedroom furniture.

In an entryway, hallway, or breakfast nook, our mural wallpapers bring immediate character to compact areas. The rhythm of the vertical and horizontal lines draws the eye across the wall surface, adding dimension to narrower passages or smaller dining corners. Because the contrast between the marine blues and the pale background is balanced and gentle, the design handles both bright morning daylight and warmer artificial evening lighting with ease.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we like pairing the graphic quality of the check with natural, tactile materials. Furniture in warm, mid-toned woods or clean, painted finishes balances the cool undertones of the marine palette. A simple oak dining table, a painted spindle-back chair, or a quiet upholstered headboard lets the wallpaper provide the room's main decorative interest.

To maintain an effortless, comfortable aesthetic, keep surrounding textiles simple and textured rather than heavily patterned. Solid weaves in off-white, unbleached cotton, or soft denim tones echo the casual spirit of the grid. If you introduce decorative accents, matte ceramics, stoneware, or understated brushed metal fixtures in aged brass complement the blues without competing with the line work.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built from rich marine blue, deep denim, and crisp cerulean linework layered over a soft, pale blue base. This creates a multi-tonal blue story that pairs easily with surrounding interior finishes.

For adjacent painted walls, woodwork, or ceiling trim, crisp off-white or soft chalky whites keep the space bright and classic. If you prefer a moodier, enveloping scheme, deep navy or slate blue paint on baseboards and doors creates an elegant tone-on-tone contrast. For accent colours in cushions or smaller decor, warm ochre, muted terracotta, or olive green provide a natural, grounded complement to the cool marine shades.
