Wallpaper - Turquoise Sea Waves I

Created in collaboration with artist Silvia Vassileva, our Turquoise Sea Waves I wallpaper captures the expansive horizontal rhythm of an open ocean horizon. Broad, painterly brushstrokes layer deep ultramarine, lively turquoise, and crisp white crests along the lower portion of the wall, giving way to an airy sky washed in pale blue, soft cream, and muted yellow tones. The painterly visual texture and horizontal movement introduce depth and open atmosphere to interior spaces. Printed as a made-to-measure mural, this PVC-free wallpaper features a subtle paper structure that complements the expressive, layered brushwork across the entire wall.

In the room

Because the design is structured around an open horizon, we particularly like using this wallpaper on wide, uninterrupted walls where the horizontal flow can stretch out fully. In a bedroom, placing the motif behind the headboard grounds the lower half of the room with deep ocean blues while keeping the upper wall bright and open. It also works remarkably well in a living room behind a low sofa or across a dedicated feature wall in a study or home office, where the expansive seascape perspective lends an uncluttered, spacious character to the space. For dining rooms or entryways, the clear division between sky and sea helps anchor lower furnishings without overwhelming the room.

Styling it

To let the painted seascape remain the focal point, we recommend pairing this design with furniture that has clean profiles and low visual weight. Low-slung seating and floating consoles preserve the line of the horizon and keep the full movement of the water in view.

Natural, warm wood finishes like ash, light oak, or bleached teak provide a pleasing organic balance against the cool turquoise and navy palette. Surrounding textiles in textured white, unbleached cotton, or pale sand complement the coastal feel while letting the ocean tones carry the visual depth of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a cool oceanic palette of vibrant turquoise, deep navy, cobalt, and slate blue, balanced by the pale sky tones of off-white, light cream, and subtle pastel yellow.

On adjacent walls and woodwork, crisp chalky whites or soft sandy off-whites help mirror the lighter hues in the upper sky, creating a seamless, airy transition. If you prefer deeper contrast, grounding adjacent elements with deep navy or muted charcoal draws out the darker wave layers at the base of the design.
