Wallpaper - Scallop Shells

In our Scallop Shells wallpaper, layered fan-shaped shells rest against an open expanse of deep navy blue sky. Created in collaboration with artist Jim Wiebe, the composition highlights the natural ribbing and tonal variations of the shells, bringing together warm shades of beige, brown, white, and subtle purple accents. The distinct contrast between the organic sea motifs and the rich blue backdrop gives this design a balanced, graphic presence on the wall. Produced to your exact measurements, our wall murals are PVC-free and printed on paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We particularly like this design in spaces where its natural coastal character can set a tranquil mood. In a bedroom, the deep blue sky creates an enveloping backdrop behind a headboard, allowing the warmer shell tones to catch the eye at eye level. For a bathroom or powder room, the marine motif feels right at home, especially on a feature wall opposite a vanity or mirror. In a living room or vacation home, we recommend giving the mural a broader, uninterrupted wall so the layering of the shells and the horizon line have enough space to unfold naturally.

Styling it

Because the wallpaper carries both deep navy tones and warm earth shades, we like pairing it with lighter, unpainted wood furniture and soft, tactile textiles like washed cotton or linen. Keeping larger pieces relatively simple in form allows the detailed ribbing of the shells to remain the primary focus. Matte off-white accents or subtle woven materials help connect the lighter shell highlights with the rest of the room without overwhelming the palette.

Colour combinations

Our design centers on a deep navy blue sky paired with organic tones of beige, warm brown, crisp white, and delicate purple within the shells. When choosing surrounding wall colors, soft sandy whites or muted beige shades create a warm, cohesive transition. For a bolder look on adjacent walls, woodwork, or built-in cabinetry, a deep maritime navy echoes the sky tone and creates a tailored, immersive feel.
