Wallpaper - Gingham Ocean

Our Gingham Ocean wallpaper brings a classic woven textile look to the wall through a clean, balanced check pattern. Designed by Smoke in the Woods, the motif pairs soft baby blue and airy white bands that overlap into gentle cornflower intersections, complete with fine visual fabric weave detailing. What we particularly appreciate about this design is its calm, nostalgic rhythm and balanced geometry, making it easy to create a light and orderly atmosphere. Like all our wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure and PVC-free, with a subtle structure in the paper.

In the room

The balanced proportions and soft contrast of Gingham Ocean make it remarkably versatile across different parts of the home. In a nursery, toddler room, or playroom, we find the gentle blue check creates a comforting, timeless backdrop that works nicely across all four walls without feeling visually overwhelming. It also feels right at home in a bright kitchen, dining room, or bathroom, where the orderly grid provides clean visual structure around cabinetry, open shelving, and dining tables. Because the repeat is regular and uncluttered, the pattern holds its composure equally well on smaller, door-interrupted walls and across wide, open wall expanses.

Styling it

We like leaning into the heritage character of this gingham design by pairing it with classic interior elements.

• Warm painted furniture, such as soft off-white or cream timber, softens the geometric lines of the check and brings out the design's nostalgic feel.
• Natural woven accents, like wicker storage baskets, rattan chairs, or simple cane detailing, visually echo the textile-inspired appearance of the pattern.
• Light or mid-toned wooden dining tables and shelving provide an earthy grounding that balances the crisp blue and white palette.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper centres on soft baby blue, fresh white, and slightly deeper blue tones where the stripes cross. To build a harmonious setting around it, we suggest pairing adjacent walls or painted woodwork with warm whites, creamy ivories, or soft biscuit tones rather than stark cool whites. If you want to introduce contrasting accents in surrounding decor, muted pastels like soft butter yellow, pale sage, or gentle peach offer a playful, cottage-inspired balance to the cool blue grid.
