Wallpaper - In The Blue

Our In The Blue wallpaper by Chris Paschke brings the sweeping motion of an ocean wave directly onto the wall with expressive, watercolor-like brushwork. The composition is built around a cresting swell of deep indigo, ocean blue, and soft sky tones, balanced by the frothy white texture of sea spray along the crest and a quieter, washed background above. We love how the broad strokes capture both weight and fluid movement without overwhelming the room. Each of our wallpapers is made to measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the motif carries such a strong sense of movement, we like using this design on a main wall where the entire arch of the wave has space to unfold. In a coastal vacation home or a contemporary bathroom, it anchors the space naturally as a feature wall behind a vanity or freestanding bathtub. We also see it working exceptionally well in a dedicated meditation room, where the rhythmic, sweeping blues set an artistic and tranquil tone. In rooms with plenty of natural daylight, the subtle tonal shifts between the deep sea blues and pale sky washes become especially vivid.

Styling it

To let the artwork remain the visual centerpiece, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture and organic modern elements. Warm, lighter wood furniture helps balance the cooler ocean tones, while matte white ceramics and natural stone surfaces echo the pale foam of the wave. Keeping surrounding furniture relatively low and uncluttered gives the dynamic crest of the mural breathing room, ensuring the overall setting feels composed and intentional.

Colour combinations

The design features a rich palette of deep indigo, ocean blue, muted denim, and pale atmospheric blue, highlighted by crisp white foam. Around the wallpaper, we recommend working with off-white or soft chalky grey on adjacent walls to keep the focus on the artwork. For accents, warm sandy tones, muted terracotta, or brushed light timber provide a grounded contrast that warms up the cool marine blue base.
