Wallpaper - Seafood Shanty Blue III

Our Seafood Shanty Blue III wallpaper, created with artist Anne Tavoletti, brings a graphic geometric rhythm together with deep denim blue tones. The design is built around sharp triangular forms outlined with fine ink-like linework, set against layered striped and solid segments in tonal shades of marine and navy blue. What we particularly like is the subtle retro feel reminiscent of Memphis and postmodern design, softened by a tonal, monochromatic palette. Produced as a made-to-measure, PVC-free wallpaper with a light structure in the paper, it offers a confident graphic presence that remains calm and balanced on the wall.

In the room

The repeating triangular geometry gives this design a clear architectural direction, making it particularly compelling in a home office, study, or hallway staircase. In a study or workspace, we like using this wallpaper behind a desk or open shelving, where the structured diagonal lines add visual interest without creating a restless backdrop. Because the pattern relies on close variations of denim and dark blue rather than jarring contrasts, it also works beautifully along the continuous wall of an entryway or staircase. The vertical and diagonal grid naturally leads the eye upward through transitioning spaces, giving narrower walls a grounded and structured feel.

Styling it

To let the geometric composition stand out, we would keep surrounding furnishings clean-lined and understated. Mid-century modern or contemporary furniture with simple silhouettes pairs naturally with the retro-leaning lines of the pattern. Warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, offer a rich contrast against the deep denim blues, while muted black metal details help anchor the ink outlines in the motif. Rather than introducing busy multi-colored textiles, we suggest keeping upholstery and accents relatively quiet to allow the wallpaper to carry the graphic weight of the space.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design focuses on a monochromatic spectrum of blues, ranging from deep navy and rich denim to cooler slate tones, accented by crisp black line details. To build a cohesive room around this wallpaper, we recommend pairing it with soft off-white or light stone on adjacent walls and trim. If you want to lean into a moodier look, continuing deep charcoal or matching navy onto painted woodwork creates an enveloping, tailored atmosphere. For accents, warm cognac leather, terracotta, or muted mustard provide an effective, balanced counterpoint to the dominant blue field.
