Wallpaper - Altered Seascape III

Created in collaboration with artist Chris Paschke, our Altered Seascape III wallpaper captures the calm rhythm of open water through abstract, horizontal layers of paint. Deep navy and slate blue at the top dissolve into softer blue tones, pale mint green, and white brush marks, giving the composition a fluid, atmospheric quality. The watercolor-like washes create visual depth without feeling heavy, allowing the broad horizontal movement to anchor a room naturally. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this mural wallpaper brings a serene, artistic focal point to living spaces while remaining easy to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall where the full horizontal gradient can unfold without heavy visual breaks. In a bedroom, placing our wall mural behind the bed creates a quiet, grounding backdrop that frames lower headboards and low-profile furniture nicely.

The soft balance of cool slate blues and mint green also suits a dedicated meditation room or quiet sitting area. Because the pattern uses broad, painterly transitions rather than busy, repeating shapes, it gives compact rooms an open, airy feel while still offering enough visual texture to fill a larger wall comfortably.

Styling it

The cool, painterly palette pairs naturally with organic modern and contemporary interiors. We like balancing the fluid brushstrokes with clean, structured furniture shapes to keep the space grounded.

• Natural materials such as light oak, ash, or pale blonde wood bring warmth against the cooler slate and navy tones.
• Upholstery in textured cream, soft grey, or unbleached textiles helps maintain the quiet, uncluttered mood of the space.
• Matte black or brushed bronze metal accents on lighting and hardware provide subtle contrast to the soft watercolor layers.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is built around deep navy, slate blue, soft sky blue, and touches of cool mint green set against washed white.

When planning the surrounding space, we suggest pairing these tones with warm off-whites or pale stone on adjacent walls to keep the room light and balanced. For trim and architectural details, crisp cool whites accentuate the clean lines of the design. If you prefer deeper contrast, charcoal or dark navy accents in surrounding textiles or painted woodwork pick up the darkest shades in the upper gradient.
