Wallpaper - Big Blue

Our Big Blue wallpaper brings an expressive, painted lobster to life with bold cobalt brushstrokes and lively touches of purple, pink, yellow, and white across a soft beige background. Designed by Jeanette Vertentes, the artwork centres on dramatic claws and sweeping antennae that give the composition a sense of painterly energy and movement. What we particularly like is how the oil-paint-inspired texture adds visual depth, making the motif feel like an oversized canvas rather than a flat pattern. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because this mural wallpaper carries such a striking central motif, we think it works best on a wall with enough breathing room for the full form to be seen. In a dining room, positioning the lobster along the main wall behind the dining table anchors the entire seating area, turning that side of the room into an immediate visual focus.

In a kitchen, we see this working especially well on an open dining wall or beside a breakfast area where the vibrant subject naturally belongs. The softer beige background prevents the design from overwhelming the room, allowing you to enjoy the energetic brushwork without crowding the surrounding space.

Styling it

To let the expressive brushwork stand out, we would pair our design with clean, grounded elements that balance its playful character. Mid-tone or darker wood furniture, such as a dining table with simple lines, provides a steadying foundation against the vivid blue motif.

For surrounding surfaces, matte finishes and quiet ceramics help the bold brushwork remain the star of the wall. If you want to introduce accent pieces, simple tableware or lighting in unlacquered brass or deep navy connects naturally with the cobalt tones without competing for attention.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a dynamic palette led by deep cobalt blue, complemented by smaller flecks of purple, soft pink, sunny yellow, and white against a neutral beige ground.

When choosing paint colors for adjacent walls or trim, warm sandy neutrals or soft stone shades echo the background tone seamlessly. For a more dramatic scheme, you could pick up the deep cobalt on painted cabinetry or interior woodwork, framing the mural in a rich, enveloping border.
