Wallpaper - Maritime Stars Red on Blue

Designed by Daphne Brissonnet, our Maritime Stars Red on Blue wallpaper brings together illustrated red starfish and looped rope knots set against a deep navy blue background. The painted motifs carry a soft watercolor character, outlined in crisp white margins that make each element pop distinctly from the dark woven-textured ground. The repeating pattern alternates between varying sizes of sea stars and nautical rope loops, creating a playful and cheerful coastal rhythm. Made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, this wallpaper paper has a subtle surface structure that adds depth to the printed artwork.

In the room

We see this design working especially well in a bathroom, guest cloakroom, or across the walls of a coastal vacation home. The contrast between the saturated navy ground and bright red motifs allows the pattern to define a space without feeling overwhelming. In smaller rooms like a powder room or bathroom, wrapping all four walls creates an inviting, enveloping feel where the nautical details can be enjoyed up close. On a wider feature wall behind a vanity or bed, the alternating layout gives the room a lively focal point with plenty of visual movement.

Styling it

The bold nautical motif pairs naturally with clean, coastal-inspired interior elements. We would combine this wallpaper with crisp painted woodwork and simple fixtures, allowing the red and navy contrast to take centre stage. Clean white cabinetry or wainscoting helps ground the darker blue backdrop, while natural brass or chrome fittings echo classic maritime hardware without competing with the illustrated repeat.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a deep navy blue base, lively coral-red starfish, and warm cream rope motifs with delicate dark linework. When choosing surrounding colours, clean whites and soft off-whites on adjacent walls or trim offer an immediate, fresh balance to the rich blue backdrop. If you prefer a richer palette, deep navy paint on surrounding woodwork can create a cohesive backdrop, while subtle sandy tones tie in beautifully with the rope details.
