Wallpaper - Under Water

Our Under Water wallpaper by Beth Grove brings together coastal marine elements with the gentle character of watercolor illustration. The composition pairs sculptural driftwood branches with dotted blue starfish, delicate coral fans, seashells, and swaying aquatic grasses against an airy off-white background. Tonal washes of slate blue, sand, and earthy driftwood brown give the motif a serene, hand-painted appearance with balanced negative space. Produced custom to your exact dimensions, our wall murals are PVC-free and printed on wallpaper paper with a subtle surface structure that is easy to hang.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a calming feature in a bathroom, powder room, or a relaxed coastal guest room. Because the composition balances detailed marine forms with a generous pale background, it brings visual interest to an accent wall without making the room feel enclosed. In a bathroom, placing our wallpaper behind a vanity mirror or along an open wall creates an inviting coastal focal point. The soft blue and sandy tones also suit a vacation home bedroom or a sunlit entryway, where the nautical motif sets a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere.

Styling it

To complement the gentle watercolor look, we would keep surrounding materials natural and tactile. Weathered driftwood or pale oak finishes pair naturally with the brown branches in the artwork, while crisp white ceramic fixtures and matte black or brushed nickel hardware provide clean contrast.

Textiles in washed linen, warm off-white, or muted denim blue will echo the seafaring palette without competing with the illustration. Keeping surrounding surfaces uncluttered allows the branching coral and starfish shapes to remain the primary decorative focus of the space.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a balanced palette of slate blue, washed denim, earthy driftwood brown, sandy beige, and soft seafoam against an off-white ground. For adjoining walls and painted trim, soft chalky whites, pale oyster tones, or warm greys will maintain the open, airy feeling. If you prefer deeper contrast, a rich slate blue or weathered navy pulled from the starfish and coral makes an attractive choice for lower panelling, bathroom vanity cabinets, or adjacent doors.
